Richard Tyler is a fictional character on the USA Network science fiction tv show The 4400.
Richard disappeared May 11, 1951, at age 29, while in South Korea during the Korean War. An African American fighter pilot originally from St. Louis, Missouri, he was in a relationship with Lily Moore's white grandmother, Lily Bonham. He is the father of Lily Moore's second daughter, Isabelle Tyler. When he discovered Shawn Farrell funded the Nova Group, he was convinced by Matthew Ross to take over the 4400 Center.
[edit] Paranormal Abilities
The promicin inhibitor entirely suppressed Richard's ability, leading him to believe he was one of many returned without an ability. After the inhibitor scandal and the cessation of inhibitor injections Richard developed telekinesis. His control of the ability was initially poor. Fearing his daughter, he worked with Heather Tobey to refine his control and can now more precisely control what he affects and where he moves it.
In the season three finale, Richard attempts to destroy the stolen promicin, but is stopped by Tess Doerner. When Isabelle attempts to destroy the 4400 Center, he telekinetically injects her with an anti-promicin syringe, removing her abilities.
