Talk:List of Heroes characters with special abilities

message: superpowers sounds soooo corney!!!  lol.  can we change it to minor characters with powers or minor characters with special abilities?--76.168.220.243 05:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Special abilities" would be fine by me :) Just as long as we change the term in List of characters in Heroes as well. However, it's ought to be discussed at the talk page of List of characters in Heroes before changing though. Pjär80 05:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Coming to think of it, "special abilities" is the term used by the producers and in the show, and given that I moved the page. Hope it doesn't upset anyone. Pjär80 13:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I get the reference, but it should just be "turn matter to gold".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.241.255.250 (talk) 17:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, but it doesn't seem like it got anywhere. Padillah, you said to wait for more examples of Bob using his power than the spoon (I think that was the only example when the discussion took place). So here are all the others: Hampton Connolly and all his clothing were turned to gold in "The Golden Goose", his pen was turned to gold in "Donna's Big Date: Replay" and Sylar turned Noah's gun to gold in "The Butterfly Effect". So the power has been used to do more than just turn metal to gold. They mentioned in an interview that they planned on him turning a door to steel to stop Niki's rampage in "Out of Time" but they said the effect was bad and the assignment tracker map says he can only turn things to gold. They've stated they had "every intention" of making him do more but have not stated any intention to make Sylar do more. I think both the words alchemy and transmutation should be used to reflect that he transmutes items (it seems you were in favour of transmutation, too) but only to gold. That's why I've used "Alchemic transmutation". Sound fair? Therequiembellishere (talk) 15:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right in that the archive doesn't seem to come to a very concrete solution. I do think this needs to be vetted a bit more than it has. For what it's worth I agree with everything you said above and would even be in favor of it being labeled "Chrysopoeia" since, as you note, it has never done anything else. Others, please chime in so we can get this vetted and resolved. Thanks. Padillah (talk) 16:29, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was using "alchemic transmutation" because it compromises both names and is easily recognisable. The article for chrysopoeia is very short and it's not a very common name. Even if we continued to use the link to list of comic book superpowers under the elemental transmutation section, the casual reader would still be very confused.

message: Molly looked at he picture, and started screaming, this shows that someone on the picture was the boogeymen.  Others I have discussed this with, cited the issues of when molly searched for Matt's Dad was when she got put in an unconscious state, but considering the way Molly's power is show, that the Boogeyman can see her when she thinks of him.  It is plausible that she could have thought of Matt's Dad and the Boogeyman could have been in that house with him, and sensed Molly looking too closely.  I may be wrong about that, but what is simply true is that Molly never said "Matt your dad is the boogeyman" or anything like that, she just began to get upset, before they could confirm what she was saying.  So all that should be said is that the boogeyman is on of the 12 older Heroes. 70.21.119.27 14:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As a point of order, Sylar is the Boogeyman. Matt's dad is the person Molly says is "worse than the Boogeyman". Matt pointed to his father in the picture, and Molly freaked out and said "Please don't make me find him... He is the nightmare man." If she was referring to someone else in the picture, this would not make sense; Matt was asking her to find his dad, not anyone else, but Molly reacted as if she has been asked to find the nightmare man. If it were someone else in the picture, Molly would have said so, and she wouldn't be so afraid to find Matt's dad. Wanderer32 01:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  He is both the "Nightmare" and the "Boogy" man. When she looks for him she is taken away to his house (in her mind) she says that is what he has been trying to do. He scares people. He locked Matt in a room with his wife and Nathan where his brother "died". Maury is conclusively the boogey man also because all of the people (as of last episode) have been tracked down. She wouldn't call the mysterious woman the boogey man. And whoever stated Sylar is "worse than the boogey man" you are correct. But he is not the boogeyman. He doesn't have a power that would let on that he had a power to manipulate the mind (except telekinesis). thanks!! Hooty88888 (talk) 19:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think it has been confirmed that Molly Walker is going to play a big part in the second series. I think I know how . . . but before I get to that point, I think somone should make an attempt at giving her an article.
♠ Anyhow, I believe, believe it or not, that the person who killed Kaito Nakamura was "MOLLY", I believe Matt Parkman's dad is using his power to get into her dreams, and using her power of "Clairevoyance" (maybe wrong spelling) to in a way, astral project to the people he is trying to kill. I know her power isnt "Astral" Projection initially, but then again, Matt's power wasnt initially being able to "speak into minds" either. How much you wana bet that everytime somone has been attacked by the "killer" that Molly has been having a nightmare, also, put this together with the drawings she has been doing, people's faces with Helix over them. (Like the photo's, one could argue, that these photo's are the images she is being shown while asleep, to make her "project" to her victims.)
: I dont think she is evil, but I think an evil person, Parkman's dad, is using her power to do Evil.

replies: text: I have not problem with the minor characters/minor char. with abilities separation (maybe we have to reconsider in the future of course). My biggest problem is the new articles for characters poping up "just in case the become important" like Alejandro for example.

message: Okay, can we quit with the revert war and just discuss it here instead?
#The commonly used term for this ability is "Eidetic memory". Also, that's what our article on it is called.
#That oft-cited Primatech site calls it "Enhanced memory", but it also says "also known as eidetic memory". This makes both terms canon, and claims of one term being "prominent" strikes me as OR.
#Primatech is not infallible. The site is presented as being "in-universe", and thus is only as accurate as the agents who are supposed to be writing it. And as far as I know, the Company has never shown an agent with the power of infallibility.
#This does not make "Enhanced memory" an official term. For all we know, they just got it from HeroesWiki. (I think they came up with "Intuitive aptitude", too.)
#"Enhanced memory" isn't even specific. It doesn't say anything about what's "enhanced" about it.
#NBC's writers do not have authority over the English language. They don't get to decide that a preexisting word means something it doesn't.
#We are an encyclopedia, not a fansite. HeroesWiki can embarrass themselves by sticking to silly terms that are supposedly official. We don't. Our priority should be on using the most accurate term, even if it's not the one the writers chose. We've been using "transmutation", "radiation manipulation", "electric manipulation", and "technopathy" instead of "alchemy", "induced radioactivity", "lightning", and "talking to machines".
For these reasons, I vote for calling it "Eidetic memory". Wanderer32 (talk) 11:12, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I support Eidetic Memory. The article on Eidetic memory says no human has ever shown this trait, which would make it sufficiently "superhuman". Padillah (talk) 12:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I support Eidetic Memory too. It's more scientific and specific. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:47, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

text: But Heroes isn't science, it's fiction. 1. Commonly based on what? 2. It puts enhanced directly where it defines as the person's ability and puts the other offhand and not in the text. 3. That is certainly OR 4. Kind of OR, just an extension of 3 5. Enhanced is kind of obvious in the fact that it means they have more memory. It's entirely straightforward and not confusing at all; how many people know what eidetic means? 6. They're not changing anything. 7. An encyclopedia shows facts and them saying it makes it their power. If you want a note, fine they all link to the same place. Really it all comes down to sticking to one damn name, we can't be using both at the same time. Therequiembellishere (talk) 18:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of those are fair arguments, but others... not so much. 1) Commonly baised on, that's what it is called. Kind of like "interpreting glyphs placed together in groups" is commonly called "reading". 2) Granting significance to a phrases placement that is not attributed by the original author is OR. Unless the site says "this is the true name but we may call it something else later" this is the same OR Wanderer32 was using, just backwards. 3) See #2  4) See #2 5) Enhanced is not at all obvious "How enhanced" is the first question that comes to mind. Can he remember everything or does he have a dead zone? Can he remember it for time and all eternity or just a few hours? "Enhanced" is subjective. It suggests a normal memory that has been augmented. 6) No, the writers are not changing anything. We are if we try to insist that "Enhanced" is the same as "Eidetic". 7) And in-universe that is a good enough excuse. The article should use RW terminology when appropriate, and the distinction between "Better than your memory" and "Perfectly accurate for years to come" is a distinction I think we need to make. padillaH (review me)(help me) 18:25, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, thanks. So: 1. I meant how many people would call a people with a supernatural memory "eidetic" and opposed to "enhanced" how can we know that? 2. I guess that's fair. 3 and 4 I don't understand what you mean by look at two. 5. How is eidetic more specific. Here I'd actually like to place another candidate, photographic memory which is much more seen in literature (from what I've read) and is not limited to pictures. It's exactly what they do. It also has much more google hits in an advanced search for english only links, not controlled for file types.    6. Makes sense. 7. How do we make it?

replies: text: This is a little haphazzard but it's the best way to stay coherent (now that's a dichotomy). OK, in 3 and 4 I meant just because one side let's some OR slip doesn't mean we can counter it with more OR. The argument that Primatech is not infalible is just as much OR as the argument that they are. We either accept that site as canon or we don't. And I think I am most partial to "Perfect Memory". While not necessarily the name of a power so much as a description it's the best moniker I can think of. Unambiguous, short, appropriate, non-OR... The only real argument against this is that it's not the "name" of a power but the description. To that I'd have to respond - then "naming" the powers is going to be considered OR or it comes directly from Primatech with no filtration. What say yee? padillaH (review me)(help me) 03:13, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Well, "perfect memory" and "infinite capacity" are two different things.

text: We should cover his character development background, including what his power was going to be. Listing it as his power is not "just mentioning it."

replies: text: I don't see why there's an argument about it. All you have to do is say "A deleted scene from the Heroes Season 2 dvd has Kaito showcasing a power..." and then describe it, etc. Just state that most consider it non-canonical and that it still remains to be seen if his power ends up being the same as in the scene. Honestly, it's not like it's getting pulled out of thin air. State the source and say it's not cannon. More information (as long as it's true) never hurts. Honestly, I think Kaito should have a page of his own anyway with all this info and more, simply because there's a lot of info about him (what's more, Kring said we haven't seen the last of him).

text: The fact is we cannot actually list Kaito's powers until it is part of the show's canon. As stated previously, deleted scenes are non-canon. If Kring did, in fact, reveal that this was Kaito's power, then cite the reference. It is not a matter of right and wrong. I, too, believe that this is Kaito's power, but if we do not literally hear the words out of the mouths of a character on the actual, TV show, the canon which is displayed on NBC every week (not in deleted scenes) or out of a creator, we cannot add it. It does not conform to Wikipedia's standards.--Vg0131 (talk) 20:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Since it was revealed that Ms. Hawkins had a power, shouldn't she be in the "Special abilities" section? Just a thought. Sorry for any inconvenience.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.154.20 (talk) 22:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paulette Hawkins 

message: Just sheer speculation, what exactly is her power? From what I've observed in season 2, I think it has something to do with persuasion using a verbal command combined with physical contact and/or eye contact. The scene in S2E8 "Four Months Ago" with Heidi and Angela in the corridor at the hospital Nathan is in springs to mind, and there are other scenes which might hint at this.

message: In the clip where Noah Bennet is showing the profiles of the villains that escaped it says Jesse Murphy sound manipulation. So the page should be updated! if you don't believe me check the clip on MSN.com for yourself and pause it when he is flipping through the characters. I did not notice it at first till I saw it again with my friend.
