Heroes Volume IV: Fugitives

[PingSpike]

Yeah, Sylar is cool but after being the big badass villain in season 1 he really needed to disappear for a season at least. I thought it was kind of dumb when he came back right away in season II but that was actually the least of that season's problems.

Peter needs to complete the trifecta and give ol mom a hug too, she's feeling a bit left out.

if they changed the way Peter can steal powers... that would ruin the show for me. they had to "reset" his abilities because he got too strong? if thats the case they should've just left him powerless because seeing a limited Peter is just pathetic! now who will be able to stand up to Sylar? because if Peter's new power is like Rogue's mutant power... then the only other person capable of epic ass-kicking is Sylar.

Peter is acquiring powers the same way he always has, no? Now it just has a quick animation attached to it. It's like his dad except the person he sucks it from retains their original power, I imagine. Otherwise Suresh and Nikki2 can just be killed off now.

Well we have seen scenarios where the parent -> child power relationship is identical (Parkman for instance) so its possible Peter has the same exact power as his father, only he doesn't know how to cut their powers, he only knows how to copy. (Perhaps just like with the Parkman example, where we knew that the son wasn't able to manipulate minds right away, just read them, but eventually learned his higher potential...) Imagine if Peter could copy and paste the powers as well...

Claire still grossly overestimates the actual fighting power being a young girl who can't die really provides. It's always dumb to hear her make such statements.

Yeah, I wish the writers would realize that ability to heal quickly should make her strength and endurance potential super human.

A lot of people get distracted by Wolverine's claws, but his extremely awesome fighting ability comes from his ability to heal.

Claire needed to forget regular school long ago and go devote some major time to martial arts training. Hiro is the wrong hero to be wielding a katana :evil:

Can Peter only take 1 power at a time now or something? It seems like after touching Ice-Nikki, he didn't have his strength anymore from Mohinder (He got his ass kicked from the cop guy). And he was pretty worried about getting sucked out of the plane. I mean, he should just be able to fly away after getting sucked out, but maybe since he now has ice-power, he lost his flight?

Suresh's power was only a bit of strength; it wasn't really that powerful, and Suresh could still get his ass kicked anyway. It certainly happened a lot in season 3, anyway.

Your post implies old peter was capable of ass kicking. He was only capable of fucking up.

Also, wouldn't the allegedly one power at a time peter in theory be able to copy all of Sylars powers if he touched him?

Actually, if you think about it, Peter is a little better off now. He can absorb peoples' powers actively now just by touching them. Before, the other person would have to use their power with Peter observing them before he knew how to use it...

Clearly the most needed super power is........writing well.

Claire's biological mom died because sylar made it so that she couldn't control her powers...maybe Ando can super charge someone's ability to a point where they can't control it anymore as well...

I really doubt she died. It seems that she is impervious to fire or else she would burn her hands whenever using her power, and her mini fireballs while locked in the cell with HRG didnt seem to harm her.

true...perhaps she didn't die...but you get the point, right?
like a power overload and the body just can't handle it anymore...

she could have been crushed.

true. the future incarnations of Peter were awesome at ass-kicking, but present-Peter is always on the naive side. the question is, can he store the abilities away after he absorbs them? from what i can tell from the first episode, he can only take one at a time (like rogue from xmen).

mohinder is a good character when he doesnt have many lines. i hope they mute him for the rest of the season.

I said that to my wife as we were watching it

This too!

What always slightly confused me is how the dude who can hear a spider walking seven miles away always seems to get snuck up on somehow.

 

[lupi]

Let's not forget that when daddy patrelli took a power the person with it lost the ability.

So I'm thinking the addition of the touch was a new graphical way to show peter's effect, or it's a passive ability he's always had that he never tried to do before (going along the lines of everyones genes would give them a certain power if injected so it would be expected that he got the same power that he lost to daddy).

 

[phoenix79]

I'm thinking that their powers are still evolving from what they know or they are learning to use them better. Peter could initially mimic powers, now maybe he can copy them and steal them. Parkman could read minds, then he could control them. Ando can boost powers, maybe later he will be able to restore lost powers.

Mayhaps somewhere along the way Peter picks up the power to kick ass and have a clue... which is why future-Peter rocked ass.

 

[NFS4]

Bump for new episode

 

[sonoma1993]

do you guys think it's possible for part of the future from season one could happen still? Nathan is going after all of the people with special ability to lock them or somethen.

 

[lupi]

so I take it the airstrike was designed to wipe out those left on the plane? (of course ignoring the whole XX hours later thing when the shot of nathan was going on)

 

[lupi]

so, I let it go during the plane sequence, but WTH did peters flying go?

 

[lupi]

first new characters?


or just sylar going badass extroidinare.
