Longshot - but could Peter learn to "project" his powers on others, projecting his healing power on Simone? If he can pull powers from people, perhaps he can push powers out too.
I've also wondered that. But I don't think so. It will be something else. This might be the moment that we find out that Simone has superpowers, and that those will prevent her from dying.
 
They've been hyping for over a month that someone who has been in the cast since the begining bites it this week. I'm pretty sure the mechanic wasn't in the pilot episode.
they have?link?
I can't it anymore. I read it on 9th Wonders a couple of weeks ago. It was leaked through Kristen of E! and/or Ask Ausillo.I wouldn't suggest going and digging around looking for it unless you're cool with hitting a ton of other spoilers. You'll just have to trust me.

From what Ive read Hulk I think you may have your facts wrong.I think someone important is supposed to die the march 5th episode. Could very well mean we dont actually see Simone die until this episode with different characters featured next week, or could be someone else that dies.From this episode they said two things:"Someone flies, someone dies" Peter and mechanic."A hero gets shot, and you'll never guess by who" Simone was shot, and the shooter was a suprise. Shot doesnt have to mean dead though. I assume that they would have worded it "a hero is killed, and you'll never guess by who" as that would have been more dramatic.Now Simone could very well be dead, but I dont think it is a safe assumption yet.

They're going to have to do something to tone down Peter's powers....he has the potential to really unbalance the show.
Yup. He's gonna die. Or be depowered somehow.
IIRC future Hiro came back and visited Peter on the subway and one of the first things he said was something to the effect of, "I almost didn't recognize you without your SCAR". Maybe a future event such as going nuclear or battling Sylar will leave him "scarred" and eliminate or change his powers.Also, I'm not going to go back through this entire thread but has anyone discussed why Peter was able to see future events even before he met the painter? I think he was having visions/dreams from the very beginning of the show. Does anyone know if this is an inherent ability or something 'sponged' from someone else?
:doh: How about this: Peter absorbs the radioactive powers; Sylar captures Peter and cuts him open to obtain his powers; Peter regenerates, as he does not lose his powers at his death; Sylar dies in his own radioactive blast; Peter is left with the scar Sylar carved across his forehead.

:(

Doesn't explain how Peter avoids blowing up. And when I first thought of this, I imagined Peter would be left without any powers, but he would definitely need Claire's power in order to regenerate.

:hey:
Brain injury affects the regeneration. When Claire was killed, it wasn't until the coroner removed the stick in her head that she started to regenerate.

Ando was shot too, in the shoulder or arm I think. But from the info we have no neither Ando or Simone are "Heroes" so your tag would not have worked.
 
I think he meant Eden.BTW what was the power Peter had last night with the voice pushing Isaac? Someone attributed it to Sylar, but I can't remember him ever using it. Also, I don't think Peter went bad. He never really did any harm to Isaac, I think he was just confronting him. Isaac was the one who went all killer.
Sylar used it when he threw Claire's mother into the wall. I think its just included for effect.
:no:Her didn't use persuasion. He stopped her telekenetically (sp?)
:no: Who said he used the power of persuasion? All I said was he used that "loud" voice when he threw Claire's mother into the wall.
Sorry - I misunderstood.I was responding to whoever said they thought Sylar absorbed persuasion - he didn't. The loud voice, IMO, is a manifestation of telekenesis.
 
I'm putting this in a spoiler because it contains info from the online graphic novel and some may wish not to read those or haven't yet...

mytagid = Math.floor( Math.random() * 100 );document.write("

Unless I'm missing something (and I very well may be) we have a timeline issue.

When Peter arrives in Texas to save Claire the waitress is already dead. According to the graphic novel Sylar kills the waitress after he escapes and is shot by HRG and before he kills Zane (smelting guy). But the waitress is killed before the attack on Claire???

What am I missing here?

Another interesting point I read on Peter. In the directors commentaries for that episode, It is said the Peter stops the dart meant for him by "freezing time", not telekinisis. So assuming this is true, he can also time travel at this point.

Of course he can. He met Hiro. He just didn't know he could do it.

I may have that wrong. it might have been "someone gets shot" I cant remember.

Of course he met Hiro. thats why I mentioned the time travel. Just thought it was interesting as it could have been telekinisis that was used here. Just clarifying that Peter discovered another power.

Ok.Yeah, he figured out quite a bit this past episode.
 
:no: Simone is dead, not saying she won't come back (comic books have a history of doing this) but she is dead.
:no: Exactly - I think she comes back, too.We SAW her die - are you people insane? If she were alive, Peter and Issac wouldn't have just looked at each other when her head lolled back - they'd have gone running to call 911. Watch the episode again.You people also probably think Master Windu is still alive b/c we only saw him getting thrown out a window in Revenge of the Sith.

No, he was just remembering the waitress.
 
Another interesting point towards the inevitable showdown between Peter and Sylar. Many of their powers seem to cancel each other out.

Peter's latest gained power is invisibility. A powerful weapon against Sylar previous to this episode. Until Sylar's latest power became super hearing - effectively negating the invisibility.

Tim Kring has said many times that you don't need powers to be a hero on the show.
Who is this Tim Kring of who you speak? I have never seen him on the show.
You seen his name on the show in big letters. He's the creator of the show.

Doesn't ring a bell. I just watch the show, I don't read the credits.

Which is why Sylar is guaranteed to kill Peter's older brother near the end, truly driving the showdown.

Good thought - in the meantime, I think Nathan wins his election so there will be a hero in power who is also connected to the mob (he's got Linderman connections, remember).

Yes - but Linderman just took out a contract on him via Nikki

Flight does give him the upper hand at this point - but its not like he can sneak up on Sylar. I would be surprised if the flying wasnt equalized by the time they end up battling.
 
It's interesting that with the exception of Sylar's telekinesis (and freezing? - we still haven't seen that one demonstrated) his powers are all pretty insignificant - hearing, melting, good memory...

If he got a hold of some of the big powers - super strength, flying, invisibility, time control, mind reading - he'd be unstoppable.

The graphic novel from last week shows him using the freeze power.

Yup.Also, if you recall, he apparently can use his telekinesis to do some sort of awesome jump (did it when he made blonde FBI chick put a gun to her own head... like a jedi force jump or something. The graphic novel also shows him doing this.
 
This got me thinking about the powers that Peter and Sylar could/do have. I think we can assume Peter doesnt have to see the power in "action" to get it since he regenerated without being near Claire while she was doing it. Any to add?

Peter

-original absorbing power

-flight from nathan

-regeneration from Claire

-invisibilty from Hugh

-telepathy from Parkman

-time stopping/travel from Hiro

-paint the future from Isaac

-visions - not sure where this power came from - maybe from Simone's dad.

-telekinesis from Sylar

other possibilities that we have not seen in action that peter could have

-persuasion from Eden - did he use this on Isaac when he yelled "Stop lying"?

-mind power blocking from Haitian

-super memory? was Charlie alive in that timeline when Peter was in the diner?

-any other power Sylar had in the first showdown Peter may have (freezing, super memory)

-assume Peter has a power from his father? The power that drove his father mad? Perhaps this is where the visions came from?

Sylar

-original ability to see how things work

-telekinesis from first encounter - I think this is enough to allow Sylar to "fly" whether it be through jumping or using objects to propel himself.

-freezing (from molly's dad or a kill before that time)

-super memory from Charlie

-super hearing from Dale

-melts solid objects from Zane

-slowing metabolism from cockroaches? Not sure if this is a power?

-He seems to have the power to move through shadows/darkness without being detected. not sure if this is just telekinisis/levitating or something else. When HRG came into the room to look at the dead body, Sylar was hidden in the shadows. This seems pretty unlikely in a small room with limited furniture so perhaps there is something to this.

-potentially other powers from his kills previous to the show.

Time to get into the Professor Xavier, X-men age.
Favorite comic book - by far - growing up. I think that's why I like this series so much. These folks are, essentially, mutants. I had every X-Men from 94 up and about half of the old X-men series, plus any and everything featuring Wolverine - his series' (all three of them), plus his appearances in The Hulk - I still have Hulk 181 (first full feature of Wolverine) sitting in my parent's house.Prof. X would be able to send out a shield to protect his X-men - or he could inhibit the other person's power (essentially putting a bubble around the other person's head). That's where I got the first :thumbup: post of mine - Eden's got some kinda mental ability and the HG is able to contain/cancel other people's mental abilities.Let's compromise - let's say the HG projected a shield around Eden blocking her power so she couldn't influence HRG anymore. Good?
Fine shield boy, we can compromise that we know that you are wrong. Works for me. :banned:Not sure what the rest of the discussion has been, so I will just ignore it. All I can figure out is that someone flew and someone dieoos, or something rhyming like that.
 
Just watched it again on TiVo before I deleted it. At the very end, Simone's hand opens to show a key (the key she threatened to return to the painter earlier in that episode).

Obviously, the symbolism is that she IS the key to something. Simone will be back.

Earlier in the episode she tried to return the key to Isaac, but he refused. This despite that he can paint the future. I think thats why they showed it, not because it symbolizes her being the key to anything.

I'm not sure I'm following you. They showed the key again in a closeup WHY?

Because the guy who can see the future had a way to prevent her death (ie taking back the keys) literally dangled right in front of his face and failed to see it since he was so singularly focused on Peter. After she dies her hand opens with the keys to help us recall that she wouldn't have been walking through the door if he had let her give him the keys.

I thought of that, but dismissed it since he can't "see" it, but rather must paint it.Meh, maybe it's a stretch, and I should have gone with the more obvious.

Hmmm, I had an alternative interpretation - that the key showed she let herself into the apt. after she tried to give the key back. Issac insisted she keep the key, she used it, and she got killed as a result of using it.

:unsure:that's how I saw it, too. But, Scupper's interpretation is just as valid - esp., if, as is the case in so many comic books, she's not really dead or she comes back.
 
FYI, in Ontario, Heroes is on this Sunday, as Global is premiering The Black Donnellys at 10 pm (after 24).

But don't worry...I'll be sure to stay away from this thread next Sunday/Monday so I'm not tempted to give anything away.

Honestly, at this point, I would wait til it comes out on DVD and watch it over a weekend. Then come on in season 2. Thats how I did it with Prison Break and it was the best weekend my wife and I had all summer

That's the thing, I've watched most of them and all of the more recent ones. I've got the whole storyline down and from reading this thread I've picked up on pretty much anything I've missed. Just want to see those episodes I missed for myself.
