Heroes (TV series)/WMG: Difference between revisions

This would create a great way to have a [[Fully -Absorbed Finale]] for both shows. Not to mention Linderman Vs. Collier has potential.

** Either way, mentioning that ''three times in a row'' is a case of [[Viewers Areare Morons]].

Alright. The idea is this: all the super-powers we've seen in the series are actually an advanced form of the "accidental magic" from the Harry Potter universe, to the point whereby it actually begins to tailor itself to a specific person rather than purely random effect. Of course, the Ministry of Magic (and/or whatever the American counterpart is) are very interested in these strange, semi-magical abilities, so they decide to keep tabs on them - especially Claire Bennet, the one with the power to come back from the dead, which should be [[Magic aA Is Magic A|impossible]]. Thus, they actually send someone in to watch over her: an Unspeakable from the Department of Mysteries (or, again, the American equivalent) who infiltrates the Bennet household in the form of a Pomeranian. They specifically arranged for the name Mr Muggles to help to keep suspicion off their agent - nobody would suspect a thing, since his 'Muggle-ness' is right there in the name.

The first time we saw it used, he was generating "Hero energy", which simply amplifies the powers of those who have them. When he tried to fight the agents coming to take Matt Jr, he turned it into the kind of [[Pure Energy]] you expect to find in [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]. Should he practice more with it, he'd be able to generate and manipulate ''all'' forms of energy - thermal energy to boil water, electrical energy to never need batteries again (without relying on Matt Jr), and so forth. Considering the "red lightning" nature of the power, it seems that electrical energy will be easier to master. Not to mention, it would be ''totally killer-awesome'' to see him and Sylar throw down, each with their own lightning -- like the bit of "fire and ice" in "Five Years Gone", but without the [[Fight Unscene]] because we have ''good'' special effects now.

*** Re: the company's prime motivation. Noah mentioned a few times in season 1 that the Company had "lost its way" and had been corrupted. But since at least three of the same people (Linderman, Angela and Bob) who were in that diner were still active in the Company's management, this might have been retconned (or it might refer to stuff like the internecine conflicts in the Company in the graphic novels, like the Kill Squad, the rebellious [[MesMe's a Crowd|Julian clones]], etc. And, of course, Thompson).

Between his sheer, undiluted comic-book evil, all of the abilities he had absorbed, and the stress inherent in having a gun fired at his forehead, Arthur Petrelli's mind pretty much folded in on itself. No longer willing or able to take it, he channeled everything he had into his twice-over power of space-time manipulation, left behind a copy of himself a la [[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Black Belt]] to take the bullet, and departed for another world, free of any tangled webs or superpowers. In this new (to him) world, he vowed to use his immense powers to fight evil under a new identity as "[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete|Artie]]" -- ''the strongest man... in the WORLD!''

This sounds crazy, but hear me out. We can infer that its not just high power levels making you stupid, or else Sylar and pre-superhug Arthur would be drooling vegetables (Peter... well, he's [[Idiot Hero|Peter]]. Some supers are perfectly capable of being rational and intelligent, or else the whole thing would have been obvious ages ago. However, the stronger, more unusual mutations (bending space and time to your will, mind control, etc.) often come with the brain being impaired, in the least. Peter's frequent bouts of [[What an Idiot!]] moments are due to him absorbing the stupidity powers of a ridiculous number of mutants. Sylar, meanwhile, is capable of plotting with his powers because he's probably the best super-neurologist in the world, so he knows about it, maybe using telekinetic surgery on himself or shapeshifting to temporarily set it back. This would explain why, among other things, Arthur Petrelli went from "Mastermind with a new Company" to "Idiot who [[Idiot Ball|stood in front of a hovering bullet while Sylar monologued]]" and why these people have never thought of really changing the world with some power like Ted Sprague's.
