Max glanced at Nolan. "Boss, I'm picking up movement all around the area... but I can't actually see them. What gives?"

Nolan hadn't asked him to leap straight to electromagnetism. First, he had to fully control electricity and then move toward generating magnetism from it.
Electricity and magnetism went hand in hand, but Max wasn't there yet. Bioelectric sensing was his first step.
Everything living with a physical body emits electrical signals.
Nolan could feel them too. His hyper-senses picked up faint heartbeats and soft footsteps cloaked ninjas, almost certainly using Hand techniques.
