  • Angelic Beings
    • Archangels - Archangels can read, and feel/sense the emotions of humans.
    • Cupids - Cupids, being able to make people fall in love, it's awfully likely they can read emotions in people as well.
  • Higher Beings
    • Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Horsemen are able to read emotions and amplify them to insane degrees.
      • War - Like his brother Famine, War could read peoples' minds and thoughts. However, unlike his brother, he did not require contact to do this, he just needed to look at them.
