View Full Version : Heroes - How Can They Adapt Their Powers?

I created this thread separate from the Heroes show thread because it is a tangent and I don't want to "bog down" the the show discussion with "What if" scenarios.

My question is this - How do you think the Heroes can adapt their current powers?

EX: Nathan can fly, but what else can he do? If he manipulates gravitons to fly, couldn't he also increase the weight of somebody else or expand his field to lift large objects?

EX2: Claire can heal, but doesn't that also mean she would have superhuman endurance? Her healing ability would fight off the fatigue poisons that build up in muscles, so she could run mile after mile after mile without getting tired. She could also build muscle really quickly because they would heal and grow at a faster rate than a normal person.

OK, so what do you guys think?

The above scenario made me think of Hayden looking like Powergirl. Don't do that. Not until September, please.

Well, let's see who is covered already.

We know what Peter can do, so there's no reason to get into him.
We know Hiro can stop time and time travel. Maybe he can also make it go backwards as well when it gets stronger.
We saw last week that Parkman can now read back into a person's memory and not just what they are thinking at the time.

So, let's cover the others.

Claire - I've always had a feeling that she would be able to heal others and not just herself. I thought that was going to be the reason she was needed to be kept alive, so she could help people heal when the bomb went off.

Nathan - Remember how he landed at that diner when Hiro first saw him? It was almost as if he didn't have full control of flight as he came down fast and skidded. Maybe he doesn't actually fly, but just propels himself at such a force that he is thrown through the air. If so, he could also have the power of running really fast. I know, dumb idea.

Niki/Jessica - No idea where they can go from there.
D.L. - Since we've now seen that he can pull people through walls, maybe he can also allow it for others to walk through on their own as long as he touches the object. I don't know, I'm just reaching here.
Micah - Honestly, who cares.

I think the reason she had to be saved is not because she'll save the world, but rather if Sylar got her powers, he'd doom the world. I haven't seen the last couple of eps so I can't comment completely on that.

I have wondered if Peter could eventually share the powers he absorbs. If he can pull powers from other people and choose the powers at will, could he possibly expand the range of the powers to let other people use them?

In the future he used the time stahling powers on himself, Hiro and Ando. Was that a function of the power or can he extend the range to include other people.

Even if it was sharing by touch only, it would be a big deal. The healing power alone would be great.

maybe they should form a school where they could learn to use their powers for the betterment of all mankind, even though the world hates and fears them....... might work.

That would be an eXcellent idea. It could be like an acedemy for eXceptional people.

Yeah Hiro said that in the future episode, that he stabbed Sylar, but he just regenerated.

exactly if he gets her powers he'll never be able to killed and would just terrorize the world

but i guess at this point peter and claire would live forever

Wait, I see what you're saying but they CAN be killed.

They were both killed briefly. There is one spot in the back of their heads (where a stick killed her and glass killed him)...that's where Peter told Claire to shoot him if he's about to explode.

I gues it's like an Achilles Heel.

Yeah, but they were only "dead" as long as the foreign object that penetrated the spot remained in their heads.

I know, but they can actually stay dead if people left them that way. A lot of 'immortal' characters in movies just can't die and may feel trapped in their fate.

They'd either have to choose to die or hope someone around knows, right now I think only Claire and Peter (and maybe his mom and brother) know about that.

So, if Sylar did get her powers, technically he could still be killed. It would just be that much harder.

had a weird idea the other night at the end - picture Sylar + girl's shapeshifting ability = White House?

well at some point mojinder well see that peter is no longer dead so add him to the list

as for sylar yeh they'd just have to stab him or shoot him in a fatal area and then keep him under lockdown so no one removes it

my chick had an interesting idea

what if they let sylar kill the girl molly so he gets that degenerating disease
but i guess its too late since mojinder already is giving her his blood
