Didn't she say "you promised I wouldn't have to do that again" to Mr. Bennet before she went in and pushed Isaac back to heroin?

Yeah, I was wondering what she was referring to. One of my friends suspected she was the one pushing Isaac on heroin in the first place, to cultivate his power.

I was just thinking that someday I'll buy the early seasons of XF on DVD - just not now.

Yeah, they're so damn expensive. I ought to have them, though. It was my first fandom!

And Pusher came back in "Kitsunegari."

When I saw Diana Scarwid on Prison Break recently, the first character I thought of was still "Linda Bowman" from that episode, despite having loved her as Karen Tyler in Wonderfalls. First fandom imprinting lasts a loooooong time.

Maybe what DL did to both Matt and Radioactive guy is erase the memory of where they had been/what tests had been done to them

The Mysterious Bald Possibly Haitian Black Dude is not D.L. though. I mean, they are both bald and black and tall and hot, but they are not the same character. The MBPHBD has mind-wiping capacity, while D.L. phases through solid, all Kitty Pryde-esque.

Maybe what DL did to both Matt and Radioactive guy is erase the memory of where they had been/what tests had been done to them and while doing that, he amplified their power accidentally?

D.L. has never met (that we know of) either Matt or Radioactive man. MBG is the silent (so far) Haitian guy that works with Claire's dad.

There's too many characters, Captain. The abbreviations and pop reference names canna take much more...

She was in that? Ooh.

And let us all take a moment to laugh about the fact that Radioactive Man and Matt BOTH identified him as Haitian for no discernible reason.

He wipes your memory with a French-Creole accent.

He spikes your jambalaya.

The Radioactive Man actually said he was a Haitian student, the inference being, they'd actually spoken. Matt's just parroting from there.

In my head (and not counting either Mohinder [who is Sayid-Lite on account of his pretty, slender, lanky build], or Isaac = Stone (because he puts me in mind of the guy who played Stone on General Hospital, and because he's always stoned) a lot of the Heroes characters have names related to the jossverse character whom they most resemble.

Claire = Not!Buffy

Peter = Not!Xander

Simone = Not!Zoe

Claire's father = Not!Norman Pfister

DL = Forrest

Micah = Forrest's kid

Niki/Jessica = Ben/Glory

The cop = Not!Puffy Xander

Ando = Not!Gavin

Hiro just = Hiro, because he's adorable. The young woman working for Claire's father = Pixie, because she has cute hair. Nathan = Jim Profit, even though I've never seen Profit. Everyone else is that woman/that guy, the one who/with the/that...

See, Pixie for me is Not!Meg, but that's me mapping to a different fandom entirely.

Hmm, interesting. I wonder why they didn't unleash the Hatian on Isaac to give him a power ramp up sans drugs. It seems that whatever he did to Matt and radioactive man while he was cleaning them out also increased their powers a great deal. Maybe they don't know that the clean out process has a residual power up effect.
