The 456 used human children as a source of drugs. They would forcibly attach a child to their body with a life support system. This allowed the child's chemicals to stimulate feelings of pleasure in the 456. During the process — according to the Ambassador — the child felt no pain and lived long beyond its natural lifespan. However, it was conscious throughout the experience and had to use a respirator to survive in the toxic atmosphere.

When the pillar of fire appeared, clouds would gather around it and then dissipate once the pillar was gone. This pillar of fire appeared to do no damage to Thames House despite passing through at least the roof. [[UNIT]] believed that their base of operations was somewhere in orbit around Earth, but they were unable to find their ship, suggesting that the 456 possessed advanced cloaking technology. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Three]]'') In 1965 the 456 took the children in a similar way, teleporting them away in a flash of light. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Four]]'') After the apparent death of the 456 ambassador, the 456 teleported his remains out in a similar way, with the remains disappearing into the sky in the form of a pillar of fire streaking upwards from Thames House instead of down into it.

They could also manipulate the minds of millions of children at will. When they came to Earth in [[2009]], they forced all children globally on Earth to chant "We are coming". The transmissions became more and more sophisticated with each sending, until the 456 manipulated each country's children into relaying a different message to their governments. Children around the globe communicated in English only, due to the 456's previous dealings with the British government. This connection they could also give off a fatal signal, which they used to kill [[Clement McDonald]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day One]]'', ''[[Children of Earth: Day Four]]'') However, if reversed, the frequency was deadly to the 456, making their bodies exhibit extreme pain before violently exploding.
