Hee, victor. Like, "Here's your first assignment! Track down this chick named, hey, Angela Petrelli. She related to you?"

(chortle)

I know where you both are going with this though...I wonder if Angela called Linderman herself and brought him to the Petrellis' doorstep.

Ooh, le nubian.

See, I'm still assuming Papa Petrelli had powers. Both Claire's parents have powers, both Micah's parents have powers, and given that BOTH Nathan and Peter have powers, I would think that they got that gene from both parents. It's just more likely, given what we've seen on the show.

Someone on my flist suggested that Au Co was Hiro's mom.

that's an interesting notion. So going with that thought for a bit then Hiro's mother needs to turn up in a BIG way! But even further, I gotta wonder about Nathan's kids and his wife!

Damn, P-C. I really like that suggestion.

Yeah, PC, but in the face of what we've seen of him in the comic, I'd have to say that it's unlikely Papa Petrelli has powers. Not sure I like the coincidence of his wife having powers if she wasn't someone he met through working for Linderman, which is why I'm hoping that Linderman had some ulterior motive.

le nubian, it's a neat suggestion, but Au Co is very, very dead. So unless there's a Hero who could have brought her back to life, I don't see how she could appear in the show.

Heh, victor. If we're considering what we've seen in the comic vs. what we've seen in the show, I think the show holds more weight. There's also the part where the writers can change their minds at will as long as they don't contradict what we've seen. It's hard to contradict what we haven't seen.

oh, of course I forgot about the dead part! Au Co could have siblings running around though...

Is all the white font just the comics?

Yes, Cindy. It's really nothing mindblowing or earthshattering, but the discussion stems from what we've seen in the comics.

The main point, in a nutshell, is that it doesn't appear from the comic that Papa Petrelli had powers. He and Linderman served in the military together, and when Linderman displayed his healing power, Petrelli was surprised. Years later, after Papa Petrelli had married Angela and had Nathan, Linderman came to him and asked him to help start the Company. Again, Petrelli makes no mention of his having powers at that point either.

LeNubian -- Do you know about the spoiler font quickedit? Just start a new line with a single lower-case s. It'll save you a lot of time.

And, P-C, the other problem with your flist buddy's suggestion is that Au Co was Vietnamese, not Japanese.
