• Niki / Jessica Sanders

Niki Sanders is a former casino worker in Las Vegas. She was raising her son, Micah, alone because her husband D.L. is a fugitive. In the absence of D.L. and his regular paycheck from construction work, she earned extra money as a webcam stripper running lasvegasniki.com. She has an aggressive alter-ego named Jessica, under whose identity violent acts and murders are committed. Niki turned herself in to Las Vegas police, fearing that she might hurt her son. She confessed to multiple murders but was released on the orders of Mr. Linderman. Jessica is the name of Niki Sanders's alter-ego; Jessica is also Niki's sister who died in 1987, possibly at the hands of their father.

- Niki and Jessica can communicate with each other through reflective surfaces: whichever personality is dominant sees the alternate in the reflection. However, Matt Parkman heard thoughts of both personalities via his telepathy during one of their conversations (Run!). Niki and Jessica also communicated in jail sans reflective surface (Godsend). The significance of these unusual occurrences is unknown.

Jessica Sanders

Powers

Jessica possesses the power of enhanced strength. Her victims are many: she has torn men in half, taken out a room full of armed men in a matter of seconds, and thrown D.L. across a room. Whether she possesses any secondary abilities, such as enhanced endurance or durability, is not yet known. However, because Noah Bennet said that all located evolved humans have been found with only one power, it is likely that Jessica has but one all-encompassing power. Her alter ego Niki also possesses these abilities.
