The first rebel Replicant in the Blade Runner mythos had a power that was perfect for the uprising against the system, and it was totally unique.
The entire premise of the original Blade Runner revolved around rogue Replicants being on the loose, and Rick Deckard–the Blade Runner–being the one man who could stop them. While that is a bit of an oversimplification of events, the idea here is that Replicants rebelling is written in the proverbial DNA of this franchise, which makes the first rebel Replicant’s ‘power’ so fitting–and totally unique.
Replicants are synthetic humans originally created by the Tyrell Corporation to act as slaves for humanity. The Replicants would work in off-world colonies and do jobs too dangerous for humans to do. In order to ensure the highest level of productivity and creative innovation without human oversight, the Replicants were made self-aware. The thinking behind that decision was if they could want and strive for things internally, then that would reflect in their work.

Perkins, Mellow Brown, and Fernando Dagnino, readers learn how the very first Blade Runner came to be, and the events leading up to the creation of that particular law enforcement unit. During this time, a special kind of Replicant was created by Tyrell Corp: the Nexus-5.
Nia’s ability was incredible to witness, and proved to be integral to the rise of the Replicant rebellion . However, there was one caveat: not all Replicants could handle the truth. While Nia’s core group were silently working towards freeing themselves and other Replicants from enslavement, other Replicants went insane when their minds were opened to the truth, and they violently lashed out against their human masters.
While it may be sad that Replicants can’t unlock the minds of their unwittingly enslaved brethren with a mere word anymore, the work Nia did was enough to ensure her revolution lived on long after she was gone–something that was seemingly confirmed in Blade Runner 2049–and it was all thanks to the totally unique ability exhibited by Blade Runner’s first rebel Replicant.
