I opened this thread talk about the disease effecting the heroes population and how it compares to the Legacy Virus form Marvel comics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Virus Look familiar

But not only that, I want to use this thread to discuss the many similarities between Heroes and The X-Men as well.

Just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

New evolution of humans allowing them to gain powers.
The Legacy Virus look alike.
Five Years Gone = Days of Future Past
Stan Lee! lol stick out tongue

Anymore?

If you're going to open a thread relating to Season 2 happenings, would it kill you to use spoiler tags? Not everyone is on Season 2 yet! I've told you this before.

Darth Vicious
I think his thread relates to the whole series in general. Besides the "Legacy Virus"(which I have mentioned before too) most of the ones he is referring to are from Season 1. To me Peter is a versin of Synch from Generation X. Even if they deny it Im pretty sure most of their "creativity" comes from already established comic books. The Isaac Painitngs remind me of teh Destiny diaries in X-men.

The main premise of this thread is about the virus that is threatening the Heroes and it's relation to the Legacy Virus...while it was established in Season 1, what he is referring to is Season 2 happenings.

What have I posted about that is a spoiler this time? The virus and everything else in my opening post was from season one. Even the virus was present form Mohinder learning about his sister to Molly's infection at the end of the season.

The only difference is this year they're putting more focus on it and going to be exploring it more.

Tell you what Tattoo, since you seem to hate all my post so much since you claim they all have a spoiler why don't you just put me on ignore and make everyone happy. In case you forget they had said the heroes forum would be containing allot of spoilers anyway. And you really seem to be the only one with a problem.

Until now I kinda understood your point thou I didn't agree with it but if your even complaining about this thread then just ignore all my post. wink

Darth Vicious
I remember talking about the virus waaaaay back. Someone seems to be pushing to be a Mod around here!

Let's see...the virus had only affected 2 Heroes in season 1, and one of the cases was over with 30 years before. So there was nothing at that point which presented itself to be like the Legacy Virus.

Not to mention that in other countries they are only halfway through Season 1 right now, all that you're posting about is considered spoilers to them. All you need to do is put the word "Spoiler" in the title of the thread.

Obviously REX agreed with me, at least about that one post since he added Spoiler Tags to it.

Not to mention it's only been 2 posts that I've even brought this up about. Get the stick out of your ass, I've got nothing against your posts as a whole. I'm trying to be considerate to others who wants to discuss Heroes but aren't at the episodes we are on.

Entity
Umm its been more than that I know.

You've complained abut my theories because they mentioned Elle.
You've complained about my post in Peter's thread for the same reason.
You've complained about my Hiro thread.
and now your complaining about this one.

Those are just then ones I can think of off the top of my head.

And like I said I kinda saw where you were coming form till now.

Those first two are spoilers for everyone, not just people still on Season 1, so those don't fit into this.

As Ken said, I agree with him. Spoiler tags are needed, and I don't want to have to add them every time.

Darth Vicious
"Ken"? I guess we are on first name basis. That explains the favoritism.

There's no favoritism, it's common courtesy. Get over yourselves.

Oh for ****s sake...

We've both been posting on KMC since 2001, of course we know each other's real names.

Hey I dropped it already but I dont think is fair that u go running to ur boy anytime u want something done or u dont like something about the forum and since he seems to be so biased towards ur opinion he does ur bidding.

Running to my boy? He's a global moderator, the only one who frequents this forum. You're supposed to go to him with complaints and opinions about things in this area. He doesn't agree with me about everything, not everything I go to him about gets taken care of because he doesn't feel the need to do it. Jordan is unbiased.

Captain REX
This made me laugh. So you're claiming I'm Ken's lapdog simply because there should have been some degree of spoiler warning here?

No, I did it because I agreed that it should be up there. If you have a problem with it, please go read our policy on spoilers. Thanks for your opinion.

Darth Vicious
All I know is that before season 2 everything was fine. I actually enjoyed posting on the Heroes thread but now it seems that U r the mod because u r always pointing shit out that U deemed out of place. Now I dont care about the Heroes thread.

Captain REX
Okay. So...I'm doing my job? If you really have so big a problem with it, PM me. But really, I think you're overreacting. If you think I'm being biased, the fact that you called me Ken's ***** isn't exactly helping, is it?

I'm sorry if I seem like a sort of moderator if I want things to be organized and safe for those who are spoiler free. srug No, wait...I'm not sorry.

Anyways, we should get back to topic.

Captain REX
Personally, it will be interesting to see where 'The Virus' takes us. How it is spread, how it manifests, symptoms, etc. are all unknown.

All we know right now is that it's out there, it strips Heroes of their powers while they're afflicted, that it began with Shanti, developed in the Haitian and Molly, and that Mohinder is the only cure.

Mairuzu
Sorry if this has been asked already...

Do you think claire and peter can get the virus? Or even sylar for that matter? cause sylar had a lot of shit done to him and he survived

its possible it could be affecting him now but not killing him and only taking his powers away...

it is possible, me thinks, that Sylar might be infected with the virus... the Haitian was unable to use his abilities when he was affected by it... maybe that's why it didn't work for Sylar to use Candice's (or Michelle's) ability...

I think he (Sylar) might have been infected by the company... and somehow contained the virus, they could... maybe they kept some of Mohinder's blood... but that' just a wild guess

btw: should I continue to use spoiler tags in this thread... or are we free to discuss what happened in the latest episode?... I ask this cuz there's already a Spoiler warning in the thread's tittle

Thats the first thing that came to mind, that he is infected. The 2nd thing was that the whole thing was another illusion.

Mairuzu
So do you think peter and claire can?

Anymore? Agreed but the take is different. Its a comic book type show so you would suspect that the writer would get his influence from comics.
