New Powers!

What new powers would you like to see someone on Heroes have?

Myself personally I'd love to see someone with me ability to gain peoples knowledge the way Peter gains powers. That would be cool IMO. I mean someone who instantly gained the knowledge of anyone around them. How long would it take them to become a total badass?

And what about a Danger sense? Something similar to Spiderman's spider sense?

Also super speed. I mean nothing crazy like The Flash or anything but someone that could move like 10 times the speed for normal humans would be pretty cool I think.

Oh and I almost forgot. What about total invulnerability? I mean someone with no other real powers and just like us except they can just walk away form a nuke or something! eek! Then we could see them react with Claire. The girl that can heal form almost anything and the person that can't be hurt by anything.

Strangelove
Ummm...telepathy is gaining others' knowledge, it's just more active than passive. I think TV audiences would reject a character like that.

Captain REX
It would be too powerful. Not to mention overwhelming. It would most likely lead to schizophrenia and extreme deja vu and so on, with all those implanted memories.

As for invulnerable...also, not terribly realistic. Most powers at least seem like they could have a scientific explanation somehow. Your cells completely resisting destruction of any sort? Unlikely. Also unhealthy, as they are naturally destroyed daily.

grey fox
The ability to control insects, particularly Bees, wasps, hornets ect.

T'would be freaking awesome.

Darth Macabre
A few actually...like an intuitive translator: someone who can speak and read a language that some one's either writing or speaking, though, once out of the distance, they have no idea--it's all jibberish to them, unless they knew it ahead of time.

Or someone that has the ability to "freeze" someone just by making eye contact with them. Not like literally freezing, more along the lines of mental paralysis.

Or just the power of empathy: can feel people's emotions.

And for a villain, I'd have someone who can "tap" into people's powers. Not like Peter, instead this person can only use the powers of the people who are in range, and the person doesn't keep them once out of range.

Strangelove
I like the idea of a panglot (someone who can understand and speak all languages), that would be awesome.

Also unhealthy, as they are naturally destroyed daily. See thou that's allot of what I think would be cool about it. The problems the character would be inflected with. I mean imagine all that knowledge just coming form outta nowhere instantly but at the same time they'd have no other abilities outside of normal humans.

And I don't mean memories as much as just pure knowledge. Not like what Peter felt when Simone died but knowing all he does about medicine as a nurse. Peoples knowledge not there memories, thou I also think that would be interesting as hell.

As for no explanation. How the hell does someone fly? Or walk through walls or control technology or heal a paralyzed women through mere touch?

Captain REX
As for flying, no idea; that'd be difficult to explain.

Walking through walls, as DL does, shows that the cells of matter seem to move aside when he passes through something, so its likely that the cells move. Controlling technology would probably have something to do with electrical impulses, and healing would have something to do with some sort of energy that would stimulate cells to repair themselves.

None of that is official or explained, but it would seem likely (for a fictional super power), yes?

Blax_Hydralisk
Indeed. The only one that can't be explained at all is flying at like mach speed by yourself..

Mairuzu
Lightning powers!

Controlling gravity! ( LOL )

Someone that can turn people into babies with a single touch! BOOM! You are now a baby again sucka!

umm

Or someone that can change their age! Kill someone while looking 30 and turning back to a 10 year old... IT WASNT ME! IM 10 !

Mairuzu
Making someone turn old would be fun too...

Captain REX
Electromagnetic powers have shown up twice in the graphic novels. One was a man who generated his own electrical arcs and could hover, the other absorbed it from electronic appliances, then discharged.

Controlling gravity would be neat.

I take you've seen Sky High big grin

Eletric powers will be featured in the show this season, although they've been featured in the graphic novel aswell

I really want to see someone that can control the weather, I know it's too much Xmen, but I find Storm's ability way too freaking cool

Control of bugs and stuff. Anyone played "Bioshock?" Definitely Swarm would be a sweet power.

I wanna see someone kinda stretch like Mr. Fantastic. Except not... goofy like Movie Fantastic.

Controlling bugs isn't a far off power word is that the new baddie will be able to...remember the roach they zoomed in on going into the sewer opening that Sylar was dragged into?

Not to mention the roach when sylar was in captivity

Mairuzu
Which means the person controlling them could be using them as spys? Its also possible it someone from the "Company" Or the Fantastic 12? or 9.. how ever many there were aka Old justice league

superkronick92
What about the ability to control soundwaves, and create sonic booms

chickenlover98
sound control would be cool. i think a hardcore baddy could have say control of all elements. weather control i guess. how abouyt someone with a useless power. not all powers have to have a purpose. evolution throws a retarded thing in now and then. (suggested to me by superkronick all credit goess to him for this) the ability to shoot rainbows out of your hands

Ordained
I like the idea of controling nature and communicating with animals.

Mairuzu
Dr Doolittle Pwning sylar!

Mairuzu
Still haven't seen a wannabe flash yet

Captain REX
A new power has been introduced by the British counterpart to the Heroes 360 operation. One of their characters, Bridgette, has the power of clairsentience. This ability allows her to have "visions" of an object or person's past by touching them, much like an opposite to Isaac's power.

Just thought it was interesting and should be shared.

Mairuzu
In the Dark future there was "a kid that sucked all the air out of the room"

Care to elaborate... a link perhaps

I had been out of touch with the Heroes 360 experience as of late... is it only happening in the UK?

No, I don't think so...the producers put a limit to his powers so he can only make silverware gold.

Captain REX
I could see many complications with that. stick out tongue

"Oops, I absorbed their stomach acid into my body's composition...ow...ow...ow..."

Here is the power of clairsentience:

after reading that... and going to BBC2 heroes page I clearly understand why we need spoilertags... but I still havent seen a brit around here... maybe I'm mistaken

anyways: I wonder if a power like that will ever make it to the show

Mairuzu
The power to open the ozone layer! OUCH

chickenlover98

on second thought.. forget that, we are getting out of topic here big grin

~Forever*Alone~
what about the ability to enhance already owned powers?

like if peter exploded around this person it would like destroy more than just half of new york...

Mairuzu
And it would also destroy the person hahahah

Mairuzu
I got this idea from Full Metal alchemist...

The character Wrath is able to transmute anything into his body..

he touched a row of guns and transmuted them all into his arm and has a 10 barrel gun for an arm and was just shooting at another character

he also transmuted the ground rock into his arm and had a arm made of rock...

that would be an awesome power...

~Forever*Alone~
poison.

not so much an ability, just something that you always are, like claires healy dealy.

they wouldnt be able to touch people cause they would die....

Entity
Total power negation. Just naturally and uncontrollably completely negate all powers with in 30 feet!

Astral projected doppelgangers? Be able to replicate projections of yourself each capable of individual thought.

The ability to instantly create false memories.

Creating Force Fields?

Whatcha think?

Captain REX
The Haitian's ability of mental manipulation basically does what your first power would do. I'm sure he could create false memories if he wanted to, but who knows...?

The ability to amplify other abilities? That sounds interesting, and possibly very Heroes-ish.

Mairuzu
He cannot create memories, only erase....

sucks that he cant even bring them back

Mairuzu
I still want to see power to change age...


or size

Mairuzu
No one has mentioned the power to clone yourself.. Multiplicity i think its called?

Captain REX
That could easily be done with the illusion ability, methinks. I've never found multiplicity to be all that interesting, to be honest...

Of course it's never been shown on the show, but it's possible that the Haitian could implant false memories. Just a theory of mine that has no founding, but it would make more sense if he could...

Entity
What about the ability to sence the powers in others and to see its full potential in them?

Mairuzu
would be kinda awesome, i guess to see someones weakness as well?

so if sylar got a hold of that... ouch

Is that what they are calling that power, because the correct term for it is psychometry, clairsentience is the ability to "feel" and "know" things it's more like the "scientific" name for sixth sense or intuition. I've seen some psi related sites that are now using the two interchangeably, but in the past clairsentience didn't usually involve touching just feeling.

I'd like to see somebody who can subconsciously modify their genetic structure to give them any power they can imagine, or somebody who can cause others powers to turn against them. A power that would allow somebody to transmit a virus similar to the legacy virus, causing their powers to keep escalating which at first would appear to be a boost in their abilities but will eventually burn them out because the virus decreases the body's resistance to the power while the power itself grows and grows until they die would be interesting IMO.

Mairuzu
kinda over powered

LordKaos

no more over powered than Peter.

Mairuzu
someone giving themself any power imaginable?

yea thats way over powered then peter

LordKaos
Oh yeah I forgot about that power I got so into the virus one, but Peter is too uber and they need somebody who is just as uber to taunt him and say so your like me well not really and then proceed to kick the living shit out him with powers he has never even dreamed of. Can you tell I hate Peter? stick out tongue

Mairuzu
His name is Sylar

starlock
True sight...ability to see thru illusions, disguise

Enhanced senses....we have hearing, maybe the other senses as well

Kinetic control....absorb and redirect, as in getting hit and amping strength ie... shabation shaw

Energy absorbtion/reflection...like bishop

Animal control..i think it would be cool

Gestalt..... the ability to merge two or more people into one ,gaining more than one power and sharing the same mind

I would love for the heroes to expand their powers, Matt...cmon with the hearing the thoughts,i almost shut off the show when mr bennet said matt had to get them into the company building to destroy their tracking system and matt gets in by reading the thoughts of the security guard and convinces him he knows him and that he has porn...that is a joke especially aftyer 9/11, how about he gets telepathy as he continues to use his power

I see no problem with making them more powerfull

I'm aware of that, but Peter has more powers than Sylar and my guy would have more powers than Peter, I'd like his character to have a supremacist attitude, who looks down on Peter and calls him a leech, believing Peters power to be a devolved form of his own rendering Peter obsolete in his mind.

Mairuzu
Then peter would say, LEECH THIS and electrocute his ass ha ha

Mairuzu
But the way you describe your character now, hes like something that would be on an anime

LordKaos
No he sounds like something that would have superpowers in any genre, anime characters have ill-defined limits and powers IMO.

Mairuzu
i mean his personality

LordKaos
His personality is more like Vargas or even Magneto, or even this ******* white guy who lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up in the late 80s he and his father went around to any new white family that moved into our neighborhood and told them that they should watch out for my family because we were a bunch of N words and dangerous.

Mairuzu
haha wtf

chickenlover98
id like to see two leechers fight. peter vs another one. with powers that havent been introduced. that way we see powers countering each other

Bespin Bart
Leechers...what a lame moniker for Peter's ability...

Mairuzu
Better then sponge imo, but i like mimic better

Mairuzu
i like how they called Molly a human lowjack haha

A human what?

S_D_J
she's been called a human GPS big grin... though I don't remember where I read that no expression

Mairuzu
Yes, they called her GPS and Lowjack, the actor that plays Mohinder and Parkman said it during the commentary on the episode where they try to kill Molly... forgot what episode that was called

I actually thought about that: it's a guy with the power to see other people's powers as "energy balls" inside them. Then, seeing that energy, he's able to take a mental grasp at it, restricting them from moving, and sometimes even breathing. Plus, he is capable of stealing some of their powers for a short time, leaving them powerless; a la Rogue, just without stealing their memories and life energy.

It's someone I thought could fight Peter.

I mean yea it wouldn't be very helpful to the average joe but I'd say someone like Sylar or the company or even a new third party could find it very useful.

superkronick92
How about the ability to manipulate Sound waves. Imagine how cool it would be if Sylar pinned the guy to a wall, then he creates a high pitch frequency that, enhanced by his Super-Hearing does some major damage.

What if someone had the ability to become morbidly obese, without he ability would change back?

Captain REX
The thing to remember is that all these powers are part of evolution; they will be beneficial to the survival of the Heroes (unless, of course, they meet Sylar) and mankind in general.

They are not going to obtain powers to become morbid obese. They can achieve that by eating Big Macs daily, not to mention that it is bad for the human body to become morbidly obese.

Sound manipulation, however, could be very useful. You wouldn't have to have enhanced hearing for a high pitched noise to hurt you.

The point isn't the fact that it would be a power you want, you get what you're born with.

The better question would be "How would it be beneficial to that individual's survival"?

If they happened to live in Antarctica, it might be helpful, but honestly? The body would need a source to generate fat from anyways.

Maybe if they could donate their body fat to be implanted in celebrities lips or something...they could sell their extra fat and make some major bank off of it. Then when they want to...BAM, more fat.

yeah I know... what I meant it's why he would want such "power" to be featured in the show... can't see a use for it in the story... not to mention that it sounds .... useless

EDIT: ... and what REX said... such power wouldn't be an evolution in actual society.... unless you live in Antarctica erm
