Heroes (TV series)/WMG: Difference between revisions

** We don't know that yet. It's long-range [[Time Travel]] -- he might go back later (personal timeline) and do it then.

...who is (or rather, was once) Takezo Kensei, who has lived so many years because his healing power, which seems the same as Claire's, leaves him effectively immortal. This also means he's one of the original members of the Company. Kaito Nakamura was {{spoiler|killed by a mysterious hooded man who was able to fall off of a building and survive, and was also an original member of the Company}}--namely, the more-or-less-immortal Dallas Petrelli/Takezo Kensei/Probably-Something-More-British-Sounding.

In the first season, the charts and maps of the senior Dr. Suresh seemed to be describing the spread of a contagion -- but the Powers were described as the "next step in human evolution". To anyone with even a little biology background, this didn't make much sense - until we discover that someone with powers has been alive and active for ''400 years.'' Those charts make a ''lot'' more sense if they're following ''a genetic factor'' -- especially one from a single key source. He even calls himself ''Adam'': he's the ancestor of ''all'' the modern Heroes. You heard it here first, kids.

* Maybe not all, but many. The superpower gene is recessive, and for a long time it was very rare. Even if two people with the gene married, if they had no powers, then the chances were only one in four that any given child would. But Adam has been around--mostly in America--for four hundred years, and presumably, besides those ten wives, he's had lots of brief flings and one-night stands. With his genes spread around so much, the chance that two people with the superpower gene will marry has gone way up.

Simple: she frequently starts touching or rubbing people's arms and shoulders, and they suddenly start agreeing with her. Particularly Nathan (in the "being presidential" scene, among others), as well as his wife in "Four Months Ago". And in the [[Dystopia|Dystopian]] "Five Years Gone" timeline, {{spoiler|President Sylar starts doing the same thing to Mohinder in the Oval Office, and it gets him to come around to the idea of ''genocide''. He must have gotten his hands on her ability...so to speak.}}

** Un-Jossed. Candace's illusion power must be continually kept active by the brain, but this isn't true for actual shapeshifting. In season 3 there was a character who could shapeshift, and he was used to provide the fake Sylar body. Dying didn't change his shape back. It's like the guy who melted things--when he was killed, the objects he affected didn't un-melt. Shapeshifting would be sort of like melting your own body.

* Another possibility--The moment Hiro had to kill Ando, he stopped time, travelled five minutes into the future, kidnapped "future" Ando and killed him instead of Present!Ando. The show has shown so far that killing someone from the future doesn't have any major consequences.

As noted on the main article page, Peter and Gabriel are [[Shadow Archetype|Shadow Archetypes]] of each other, and the "shadow" is currently being mixed up with Gabriel trying to redeem himself and Peter gaining "the hunger". If both cross over completely instead of going back to their original alignments, then Gabriel will give up his "Sylar" identity, and Peter will assume the mantle instead.

* Hiro couldn't have summed up "One More Day" as quickly as the other things. Also, he seemed to be grabbing comics at random. It's not obvious at a glance that a post-OMD Spidey story is all that different (which was the point), but comics between Civil War and OMD were ''all about'' his identity being public. The Red Hulk bit is more suspect -- apparently Hiro just happened to seize on something Jeph Loeb is writing. :)

Ando is a [[Muggle]]--next to all these superpowered people, who's even going to notice him? He's the perfect hiding place. In any case, the fact that there were obvious hints to it being Claire even before she mentioned it feels too much like misdirection to me.

* Or hell, take it a step further: Peter goes back in time and ''becomes'' Jesus. Or better yet, Peter accidentally teleports himself back to [[Bible Times]], where he meets the real Jesus, who doesn't live up to expectations. Peter tries to get him to become the savior he knows he can be, only to fall in love with Mary Magdalene, causing Jesus to swear revenge and seemingly be killed. Peter [[But Now I Must Go]]'s, so Mary promises him that he'll grow up with the stories of the messiah he always wanted. Then, back in the present day, the second coming happens and Jesus is back--with a vengeance! Later, Jesus is subject to [[The Worf Effect]]. (As an aside: Peter being [[Idiot Hero|who he is]], during the sequences shot in [[Bible Times]] we see background shots of someone resurrecting people and performing miracles in the background, while Peter continues to attempt to convince the first random drunk he encountered that he's the son of God.)

...where, whenever you move more than a mile or so, time and space compress greatly. Most people aren't aware of this, but Sylar's ability lets him exploit it to great effect--in the time it took Meredith, HRG, Claire and Angela to arm themselves in response to hearing about him at Pinehearst, he went from Jersey to Texas and still had enough time to murder a whole bunch of guards. This is also how he pulls off [[Offscreen Teleportation]], by using a localized version of this effect.

As of last episode, Sylar is waiting in Danko's room. But I don't think he's going to kill him. What's better for Sylar: heroes scattered all over the world with no easy way to locate them, or all in one place and ''restrained'' so they can't even put up a fight? He'll help Danko corral the heroes, and Danko will go along because he's been unable to kill Sylar anyway. Like Bennet did, he'll accept Sylar as a partner in the hope of finding a way to eliminate him -- and in the meantime, he'll be the most powerful ally they could have.

Otherwise it's pure coincidence that Peter got a power so similar to his old one. Yes, this theory means Peter has his original power back -- he just needs to get the knack of using it again. His limitations were mental once before, and they still are now.

This isn't particularly wild, but still needs to be on here. In X-Men, Iceman's abilities allow him to survive shattering and reform himself; Tracy's ability may be an homage or work similarly. Her eye blinked, and also, there was none of the viscera that she left whenever she froze someone--indicating that she converted herself completely to ice, and may still survive in that form.

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.

* Along with random Building 26 [[Mook|Mooks]] contains Danko (who "killed" her), Bennet (promised help but didn't deliver), Nathan (it was his operation), and Peter (abandoned her when she betrayed him, could also attack him to hurt Nathan).

This explains the [[Aborted Arc|Aborted Arcs]] and why the storylines and going into whack, it's her mental health declining. As for why Sylar keeps showing up? It's because she wants a third son and somehow sympathises with the villain.

Think about it: What is the special power of humans? We can't run as fast as cheetahs, aren't as strong as gorillas, can't swim as well as fish, and don't have impressive claws and fangs as lions. Let alone greater powers like electricity, as electric eels have, or natural poison, or the ability to fly. But thanks to our brains, we can ''understand'' how things work. And thanks to our opposable thumbs, we can create tools more sophisticated any animal can use, and construct mechanisms as intricate as, for example, watches. Sylar was a watchmaker before he became Sylar. And yes, while this means that [[Humans Are Bastards]], at least we're [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastards]].
