Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Does Peter now have Sylar's powers?

Ooh, he should. Really kinda makes sense that he hasn't used Hiro's power much - that one must take some serious practice - even Hiro messes it up sometimes!

If Peter returns alive next season, I wonder if "dying" in a nuclear explosion will take away some of his powers, maybe "reset" him from the beginning with only his own power. (What do we call Peter's native power? Hero-sucking?) Because right now, he's way too powerful, even if he doesn't have all of Sylar's accumulated powers too. Something's got to exist or happen to dial him back a bit, or the show will become "Peter and His Superfriends".

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Peter met Sylar at Homecoming.

Hasn't Peter used telekinesis?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What do we call Peter's native power? Hero-sucking?

Empathy? What do they call Rogue's power? Absorption?

Peter met Sylar at Homecoming.

If Peter doesn't know Sylar has a power, is he able to use it?

Art Crawl!!!

I'm pretty sure that Peter was tossing lockers aside instinctively in "Homecoming" - if he ever remembers that he may be able to do it again.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

He's used telekinesis since then, to stop the thing Claude was hitting him with. He, himself, attributed it to Sylar.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Empathy? What do they call Rogue's power? Absorption?

I think Peter's power is probably best termed Mimicry. Rogue absorbed powers, but the absorption was (except for Ms Marvel) temporary, and took the power from the absorbee.

I want Peter to go around noticing that clocks aren't keeping proper time.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That would be damn annoying after a while. No wonder Sylar was so cranky!

What do we call Peter's native power? Hero-sucking?

The DC Heroes RPG called it Adaptation. (As applied to the robot villain Amazo duplicating the powers of the entire Justice League.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Claude called him and empath, but I think that was largely meant to connect to the whole emotional connection thing.

DX, that would be cool.

Yeah, I think that's his nature rather than a power. Unless he picked it up from an actual empath.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I took it to refer, in Claude's use, that it did refer to his power, just in "you are a _____" terms, rather than "your power is _______"
