Possession

"With POSSESSION, the free will of your enemies matters no more. Make your foes blindly fight and die for you."

- Fink Manufacturing advertisement

Possession is one of the Vigors featured in BioShock Infinite. It gives the user "irresistible charm", granting Booker DeWitt the ability turn enemies into allies and causing them to fight for him until they die or the effect wears off where the enemy will kill themselves unless they are off the heavy hitter class in which case the enemy will simply return to being a enemy. When used on a turret, it will become DeWitt's ally and will shoot any imcoming enemies. Only one enemey can be turned into a ally at any one time making it important to choose powerful enemys to posses over weaker ones. When used on a Vending Machine, it will drop money on the floor for Booker to pick up, similarly to using a Hack Tool from BioShock 2.

E3 Gameplay Demo


Although this Vigor was never seen, the advertisement for an early version of Possession could be seen in the gameplay demo, especially when the player is riding the Sky-Line across Columbia. The advertisement suggests the Vigor's creator is named Dalton.

Possession has finally received it's final form, which is a green bottle with a woman on it. New slogan for this vigor says: "Possession. Any Stallion Can Be Tamed." When Booker tries it, a green glow surrounds everything that he sees.

Trivia

 * The Possession Vigor is very similar to the Hypnotize Plasmid from Rapture (Specifically Hypnotize 2 in BioShock 2 when fully charged).
 * Possession's original name, Mesmerize, is defined as: "to hold someone as if spellbound or hypnotized".
