I'd be careful about saying Alejandro "healed" himself and Maya. He made the tears go away, but there's no reason to believe that either of them was actually ''harmed'' by her power.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 20:19, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

* I've been seeing that a lot of places, and I agree. Maya seems distressed by her eye gunk, but never sick or dying...and something tells me Dania's terrific acting is motivated more by the thought of killing innocents and less by the blackness inside her. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:23, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

== Poison Manipulation for Maya and Alejandro's ==
== Maybe we can call it.... ==


This could be like Hiro's space and time manipulation where he has three aspects to his ability but unlike Matt's telepath are not extension of the original.
"supression"? After all, that's what's he doing: Suppressing Maya's power from working. Or, too be less speculative, "Maya's ability suppresion". --{{User:Heroe/sig}} 11:37, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
* Bump. --{{User:Heroe/sig}} 23:51, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
* It's easier just to call it "Alejandro's ability" for now, until we get further details. It's never indicated that supressing is what he does; he seems to be both immune to Maya's ability and able to absorb it into himself somehow. That's not supression. The name is fine as is for now. -- [[User talk:Paronine|Paronine]] 23:54, October 31 2007 (EDT)
**Well said. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 23:56, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
* I think instead of 'Maya's ability suppression' we should go for 'mayasuppressokinesis'. Sounds cooler. :)--[[User:Yamawhata?|Yamawhata?]] 20:46, 6 December 2007 (EST)
**Oh yeah, that one sounds swell :gag: LOL. [[User:Random guy|Random guy]] 20:52, 6 December 2007 (EST)


Poison Emittions:
== In light of recent events... ==
Reverse the effects:Is able to direct to another person or themselves
Bring back the dead:
{{User:50000JH/signature}}
* Then it's definitely not the same as Maya's ability. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:31, 9 October 2009 (EDT)
* Maya and Alejandro's abilities were related, but different: Maya could emit poison and deactivate the process, while Alejandro could only deactivate. He was just an antidote. {{User:Altes/Signature}}
* Maybe Alejandro body itself did not how to emit poison. {{User:50000JH/sig}}
** Alejandro actually seemed to absorb Maya's poison... {{User:Altes/Signature}}


No intention on being rude, but you speculate a lot about useless stuff. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 20:49, 10 October 2009 (EDT)
Namely Alejandro dying, I doubt we are going to see many more examples of this ability. Should we consider actually naming it, or just stick with "Alejandro's ability"? {{User:Lulu/sig}}
* I'd stick with Alejandro's ability for now.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 00:43, 27 November 2007 (EST)
**Agree. We haven't named it because we don't know enough about how it works or what it would be called. If it doesn't show up again, we won't know anything more. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 01:07, 27 November 2007 (EST)
***Although, hasn't Maya learned to use "Alejandro's ability" per "Truth & Consequences"? [[User:PaulP|PaulP]] 13:22, 29 November 2007 (EST)


== Poison Emission Negation and Immunity ==
==An evolutionary human ability?==
I know it's a mouthful, but it covers all aspects of the power.--[[User:Ratclaws|Ratclaws]] 16:39, 5 November 2009 (EST)
I think we should question if Alejandro actually has an ability in light of the recent episode. It appears to me that she just has the ability to calm down his sister, but she later learned how to control her own emotions. --[[User:Pinkkeith|Pinkkeith]] 10:14, 27 November 2007 (EST)
*Maybe "poison absorption and immunity". Says the same thing and it's shorter. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 16:44, 5 November 2009 (EST)
*Although that could be an option, I think the combined facts that a/Even when not actively calming Maya, Alejandro is apparently immune to the effect, and b/When he does calm her, he seems to absorb the tears into himself (they appear in his eyes as they vanish from hers, before vanishing entirely), both indicate that he was indeed doing something besides simply calming her. --[[User:Maelwys|Maelwys]] 11:08, 27 November 2007 (EST)
**Yeah, that is better. His ability absorbs the poison, and he is immune to it.--[[User:Ratclaws|Ratclaws]] 16:56, 5 November 2009 (EST)
**Agreed. If anything, Maya's ability to stop her power herself opens the possibility that they both had the same power, but each only really understood half of it. But since Alejandro is immune, he has ''some'' sort of power, even if it's just the power to be immune to his sister's power.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:38, 27 November 2007 (EST)
***I like just "Poison absorption". But the "and immunity" part doesn't bug me. --[[User:Skullman1392|Skullman1392]] 21:21, 8 November 2009 (EST)
*** Even if she was somehow being uncounsciously triggered to undo the effects, and it only appeared to be him undoing it; he still has the power. Why? Because in each case, everyone but him turned black when the plague was emitted, then only at curing time did he turn black then back to clear. If he were powerless, he would have followed the same progression as everyone else did, and as Sylar did when she reversed it on him. Alejandro was different and unique, and did have the power to counteract her power. <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 11/29/2007 13:44 (EST)</small>
****Yeah. If he can absorb it, than you have to immediately know that he is immune, otherwise he would die. Poison absorption is the way to go.--{{User:Catalyst/sig}} 21:24, 8 November 2009 (EST)
*****That is exactly what I wanted to say, but I wasn't sure if I would word it right :P --[[User:Skullman1392|Skullman1392]] 21:49, 8 November 2009 (EST)
*Sorry, but I disagree. "Poison absorption" suggests he can affect any form of poison, whether it came from Maya or not. For instance, he could heal a person that was contaminated by a regular toxin. Since we do not know if this is true, the name seems to me inadequate. --[[User:Referos|Referos]] 19:14, 11 November 2009 (EST)
**That's what the limits section is for. I like the name "Poison absorption", and since Maya's ability is called "Poison Emission", this fits. --[[User:Powermimic|Powermimic]] 02:31, 22 November 2009 (EST)
***I agree and I'm for said change. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 18:38, 27 November 2009 (EST)
****According to our [[Help:Naming conventions|naming conventions]], a descriptive name created by the community for an ability cannot suggest possible unknown effects of the ability. Since simply "posion absorption" suggests that Alejandro can absorb poison in general, even if you explain it in the article the name is still considered too broad.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 18:47, 27 November 2009 (EST)
*****Poison emission suggests it can release any type of poison. But it doesn't. The name really does fit.--{{User:Catalyst/sig}} 18:48, 27 November 2009 (EST)
******Not really, it says it emits poison, it doesn't specify which, it can be understood as emitting a poison, which it does. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 18:53, 27 November 2009 (EST)
*******So, the description of Poison absorption can say, to absorb the poison that is emitted by maya, or something like that.--{{User:Catalyst/sig}} 18:56, 27 November 2009 (EST)
******** "Poison emission" comes from a canon source. Not trying to be a jerk, but, again, according to the naming conventions, it is okay for a name derived from canon sources to imply unseen aspects of the ability, but it is not okay for a descriptive name created by the community to be similarly broad. (edit conflict be damned)--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 18:59, 27 November 2009 (EST)
*********The reason I suggested "Poison '''Emission''' Negation and Immunity" was to make clear it only negated the effects of [[Poison emission]], not all poison's.--[[User:Ratclaws|Ratclaws]] 20:26, 27 November 2009 (EST)
**********That just seems a bit too long of a name.--{{User:Catalyst/sig}} 20:27, 27 November 2009 (EST)
***********I know, but it's the only thing I can think of that covers all aspects of the ability.--[[User:Ratclaws|Ratclaws]] 20:31, 27 November 2009 (EST)
************Agreed. Having a long name for this ability is our only other option as long as we're anal about the details. Anal, isn't a bad thing, just the only word I could think of haha --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 23:55, 27 November 2009 (EST)
***** I agree with you, Referos. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:39, 28 November 2009 (EST)
****** "Poison Emission Negation" would be fine, the immunity part is not neccesary. If he negates it, wouldn't he negate it in his own body as well? Poison Emission Negation covers all aspects of the ability. I still like "Poison Absorbtion", but whatever, "Poison Emission Negation" is ok by me. --[[User:Skullman1392|Skullman1392]] 02:35, 28 November 2009 (EST)
******* I'm not sure. I think that, because Alejandro's power is, by far, the most unique of all powers (in the sense that it's less than an actual ability and more like some sort of connection with his sister), it's probably impossible to properly name this ability. So, unless we hear from a writer or his power is mentioned again (extremely unlikely), I think the only safe choice is "Alejandro's ability".--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 18:53, 28 November 2009 (EST)
********Yeah, I always understood it as being like the cure to Maya's ability. The polar effects. Works well with the twin thing. With that said, I don't see why it would be impossible to name the ability base on what we know. He cures people of it if done within time and he's immune to it. The immune part makes perfect sense when you consider him to be the cure. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 11:08, 2 December 2009 (EST)
*********Guys, it's honestly even possible that Alejandro has the same power as Maya. Maya was eventually able to undo her poisons, and both she and Alejandro are immune to her poison. It could be that he simply never used his ability. There are a million options. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 13:03, 2 December 2009 (EST)
**********But that's speculation. What we do KNOW is that he can save people from the poison if acted on quickly. To say that they had the same powers is just going out on a far breakable limb. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 15:11, 2 December 2009 (EST)
***********No, what we do know is that he is immune to her ability, and when he calms her down, it stops. His eyes turn black the same way hers do. It's altogether inconclusive. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 19:48, 2 December 2009 (EST)
************In the article it says he uses his ability to combat hers. That in itself is stating more than what you said, or the article is misleading. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 03:21, 3 December 2009 (EST)
*********Considering that Maya's power manifested when she discovered that her brother's wife was cheating on him, it would make sense that the rest of Alejandro's ability would have manifested when he was being killed by Sylar.--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] 02:23, 10 December 2009 (EST)

** I prefer "plague eradication", as that's what you normally say when you are trying to get rid of a plague. "Negation" isn't very specific, and is normally used as a logic/math term.

****** He's not suppressing the plague (despite what I said above), he's eliminating it. --{{User:Heroe/sig}} 20:17, 29 November 2007 (EST)
******* To me, Alejandro appears to absorb the plague (his eyes turn black) and eradicate or destroy or whatever with his own body while it is inside of him (he gasps a lot and becomes exhausted).--[[User:Ice Vision|Ice Vision]] 20:29, 29 November 2007 (EST)
******** Right, Alejandro absorbs it and eradicates it. The end result is the eradication.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 14:43, 30 November 2007 (EST)
*I don't think we have any canon, near-canon, or secondary sources for this power. There's also no common name, and no descriptive name that doesn't involve speculation. I think we're stuck with "Alejandro's ability"...until we hear somebody say something like "I miss him, he would suppress my ability" or "Remember that Alejandro guy? He sure was good at eliminating Maya's plague." Until then, this power name stands rooted firmly in Level 6 of our power [[help:naming conventions|naming conventions]]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:42, 29 November 2007 (EST)
** I disagree. We know for sure that he has an ability and that it works in conjuction with Maya's. We don't need to know whether or not his ability works only in conjunction with Maya in order to give it a descriptive name. Even if his ability was only to calm Maya down, he was still eradicating the plague. That is not speculation, we've seen that, and we can note our questions about whether the plague is a seperate entity or only part of Maya's ability under Limits. We can name this power now cause we have canon info. for Maya's ability's name as "plague emission".--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 14:43, 30 November 2007 (EST)
*No more plague! It's "poison" now, apparently. --[[User:Thrashmeister|Thrashmeister]] 21:40, 4 December 2007 (EST)
* Seriously, I don't care if we call it "poison negation," "poison exorcism," "poison suppression" or "flying pigs in a barrel that prevent poison from killing people." Just give it SOMETHING besides Alejandro's ability. [[User:LightSpectra|LightSpectra]] 15:38, 13 December 2007 (EST)
**What non-speculative name would you suggest? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:54, 13 December 2007 (EST)
*** I had suggested "antidote emission", but I guess that's speculative due to the lack of response. How about "poison immunity", cause Alejandro is never affected by Maya's ability?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 16:10, 13 December 2007 (EST)
**** That works for the aspect of his ability that keeps him from being affected. But there's strong evidence that he also causes the poison to leave Maya's victims, and that name doesn't cover that aspect at all. In the end, since we really don't know exactly what Alejandro's ability is capable of (Is it just that he's immune? Does he actually cause the victims to have the poison leave them or not?), it's nearly impossible to find a name that covers all aspects of the power without being speculative. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:14, 13 December 2007 (EST)
***** Why can't "poison immunity" apply to other people the same way "flight" applied to Nathan and West? We don't know whether Nathan or West can cause other people to fly, but that doesn't stop us from saying that their power is "flight". We could just say in the description/limits section of "poison immunity" that it is unknown as to whether Alejandro can spread his "immunity" to temporarily work on other people by touching them, or whether it is limited to himself. I don't really understand the problem you have with that name.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 16:21, 13 December 2007 (EST)
****** There is no evidence that West and Nathan can make others fly--in fact there is strong evidence they ''cannot'' make others fly since they carry others. (However, "flight" would still work for the ability to make others fly.) There is strong evidence that Alejandro causes the poison to leave others or to be suppressed. If that's the case, then "poison immunity" would not cover that aspect of the ability. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:04, 13 December 2007 (EST)
******* I think you're splitting hairs, so to speak. If Nathan and West are carrying people through the air with them, isn't that technically "flying" them? Lets try a different and more relevant example. A vaccine can be used to offer someone temporary "immunity", so why can't Alejandro's ability be called "poison immunity"? There's no "self" implied.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:16, 13 December 2007 (EST)
******** I see, so you're suggesting we apply the word "immunity" to making others immune to the poison. I have never heard of a "temporary immunity", and I wouldn't really feel comfortable saying that Nidia was immune to the poison, even temporarily (if that's possible at all). I suppose we have different definitions of "immunity". -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:21, 13 December 2007 (EST)
********* Take a look at [[Wikipedia:Artificial_induction_of_immunity#Temporarily-induced immunity]]. I can drum up some more official sources than Wikipedia if need be, but "temporary immunity" is commonly used medical expression.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:28, 13 December 2007 (EST)

***Exactly,. it's speculation. I think our best choice is Poison Removal. --{{User:Heroe/sig}} 11:06, 18 December 2007 (EST)


Alejandro is dead, and it is ''extremely'' unlikely we'll ever see anything like this again. Therefore, the ability name poison emission negation works, based on the fact that's all we've seen him do. In my opinion, the absorption part isn't necessary because when Maya stops using her power, everyone returns to normal, so if her power was blocked it is unlikely that everyone would continue to die, but that's unimportant. Anyway, worst case scenario is that Alejandro comes back from the dead and displays another aspect of the ability. However, we had "memory manipulation" as "memory restoration" when we didn't truly understand it's limits (and we still don't). When it turned out that Damien could do more then restore memories, did the world end? No, we simply changed the name to "memory manipulation" and went on with our lives. The only difference here is that Alejandro hasn't been seen since Season 2, but is that really enough to avoid making such a simple decision?--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] 02:05, 10 December 2009 (EST)
== Is there really an ability? ==
*There is insufficient evidence that his ability is "poison emission negation". It is so ambiguous, it is theoretically possible that he has no ability at all. Even if his power is to simply stop Maya, "poison emission negation" may not even be the best name for it. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 02:49, 10 December 2009 (EST)
**If it's possible he has no ability simple having the page is speculative, but seeing as the page does exist I cannot understand why poison emission negation does not work, it's the only thing we've seen him do, and will likely ''ever'' see him do (cause he's dead and stuff, y'know?). Also, see in my above comment about memory manipulation, something else that was named before seeing all the effects.--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] 21:21, 10 December 2009 (EST)
***I agree with you. And not all ability names all expressly clear; that is why we have a sentence or two at the top of the page ("blah and blah is the ability to"). It would simply say "'''Poison emission negation''' is the ability to negate the effects of [[Maya]]'s [[Poison emission]]." This sentence would also appear on the [[Ability]] page, if I'm not mistaken. If somebody is unsure what the ability truly is when seeing a link to it on another page, logically, they should click the link right? And then they will see right at the top of the page what it does. And to be completely honest, since this is from the second season, anyone who is relatively new to Heroes probably won't come across this ability anyway. --[[User:Skullman1392|Skullman1392]] 22:26, 10 December 2009 (EST)


== [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=11644 BTE] ==
As of "Truth and Consequences" we see that Maya is able to calm herself down. Perhaps all Alejandro could do was calm her down. He does seem to be immune to her "poison", but maybe he doesn't really have a power. I would reccomend keeping the article until we know for certain (which may be never), but perhaps this could go on the page, or theories page. ---- [[Image:Ohmyn0.jpg]][[Image:Ohmyn0talk.jpg]] 16:41, 29 November 2007 (EST)
* I'm not sure if this was only from the spoilers, but I recall that it was stated that Alejandro has an ability and that Alejandro and Maya need each other's powers.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 16:48, 29 November 2007 (EST)
** When Maya calls down around Alejandro, the camera pans to their hands holding, and stays there for a significant amount of time. Also, when Alejandro negates Maya's ability, you can see that Alejandro's normal eyes turn black (as if the plague is being transferred from Maya to Alejandro), and the effects are gone. I think there are a lot of clues that say that this really is an ability.--[[User:Ice Vision|Ice Vision]] 16:56, 29 November 2007 (EST)
** Sylar guessed that both have powers in ''The Kindness of Strangers''. In any case, his immunity is a power of sorts itself.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:40, 29 November 2007 (EST)

== Alejandro having the same ability as Maya ==
<br>
It's entirely possible that Alejandro had the exact same ability as Maya as Maya retracts her ability in the same way as Alejandro neutralized hers. They were twins. [[User:Caravaggio|Caravaggio]] 23:45, 3 December 2007 (EST)
You mean, like, he could read TV Guide and know what time everything was on?{{blurbclose}}
* I thought of that too, maybe they just learned at different ends of their ability spectrum... like if he were still alive what if he could give off a plague. And the whole holding each other's hands thing could have to do with the Ability Extension that we have an article on. But since we will never know for sure, i vote he has the ability of "Plague Eradication", or something along those lines--[[User:.Vault|.Vault]] 17:51, 4 December 2007 (EST)
* To reply on Caravaggio, I had the same though, and I have posted what I believe is true under the theories of Alejandro's powers.
**Hopefully we'll see next volume, now that Sylar's back. If he is able to use the Illusion ability then there's no reason he shouldn't also be able to use Alejandro's ability (since he potentially acquired both while sick), so we'll have to see what he's able to do next volume. --[[User:Maelwys|Maelwys]] 13:20, 5 December 2007 (EST)

==Poison Emission Negation, Dang It!==
[[User:Horrorman|Horrorman]] 14:03, 13 December 2007 (EST)
I still stand by my previous decision. Altes said, and I quote, "I disagree. Yes, Alejandro can counteract Maya's ability, which is to emit poison. However, he doesn't negate the emission of poison itself - instead, he blocks his sister's power, which is somewhat different. Furthermore, he is immune to it. My conclusion is, Alejandro's ability is to counteract his sister's ability, not to negate poison emission. See the difference?" Honestly, no, I do not see the difference. [[Poison emission]] is his sister's ability, and he can not only negate the ability itself, but can negate its effects on him. The name covers both bases. It still doesn't cover the "black eyes" bit, but neither does poison emission.--[[User:ERROR|ERROR]] 23:14, 30 January 2010 (EST)
**Yes... hence my 'if' clause. ;-) Since I'd expect them to demonstrate the Illusion power first, if we do see a demonstration of that it'll be safe to assume that he also has Alejandro's ability, so we can then keep an eye out for that was well. --[[User:Maelwys|Maelwys]] 14:29, 13 December 2007 (EST)
*Agreed. I do not see the issue here, it should be changed. --[[User:Skullman1392|Skullman1392]] 13:29, 31 January 2010 (EST)
* I think that this is how it should be put down - that Alejandro has the same ability as Maya. From the [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=12055 interview] link posted elsewhere on this page:
** I disagree for reasons stated above. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 13:41, 31 January 2010 (EST)
<blockquote>'''OK, let's get serious again. Peter Dawson wants to know more about our Latin twins. "Well Maya is certainly a freaky one! Should we be viewing Maya and Alejandro as having each gotten half of a power due to being twins or did they just somehow luck out by being born with powers to balance each other out? And can you give us some idea of what their power actually is?"'''</blockquote>
*** We still don't if Alejandro nullifies toxins, if he blocks the specific ability of [[poison emission]] or if he simply possess some sort of connection with his sister. We simply don't know enough to name this power.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 16:53, 31 January 2010 (EST)
<blockquote>The twin theory seems to fit the bill. And we can certainly give you some idea as to what '''their power''' is. Lets, see. The easiest way is to step it out. How bout we do it in weekly installments. What are you doing, I dunno, Mondays at 9?
</blockquote>
:The fact that he says the twin theory (that they both got half of a single power) is valid and that he confirms that it is ''their power'' (note power is singular, indicating that it is one power shared by both, emphasis mine) seems to me strong evidence that Alejandro's ability and Maya's ability are one and the same, and would fit under the third tier of the naming prodcedure. --[[User:5of0|5of0]] 13:08, 27 December 2007 (EST)
* That's actually a quite compelling argument. You have me convinced. ;) --{{User:Heroe/sig}} 13:12, 27 December 2007 (EST)
* Two halves of a single thing does not mean that the two halves are identical. If one is the poison and the other is the antidote, then the two halves certainly work together and are complimentary and would still fit with the "twin theory", but the two parts are separate entities and are not the same. Further, we've seen Alejandro get emotional, and he has never once poisoned anybody. Maya has done so--numerous times. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:03, 27 December 2007 (EST)
** I agree with Ryan. The twin thing is a "good-evil" thing.

** I see how the two halves thing could work - but I was thinking about this some more today, and looking just at the facts and a point of general consensus on Alejandro's power:
*** Maya can poison people
*** Alejandro can reverse the effect
**** This reversal is indeed a "power" and not just calming down - his eyes turning black, his being immune, etc
*** Maya can now reverse the effect
*: Depending on how you construe the power(s), the facts mean different things.
*: '''Option 1: Single power, manifested differently in each twin'''
*: If you go with the single power, manifested differently theory, it works without any extra steps - we've seen plenty of instances (Matt, Peter, Elle, Hiro...) of the heroes discovering new facets of their powers as time goes on, occasionally with help from other heroes (Peter and Claude, Matt and his father). Maya's "discovering" the healing facet of her power, with Sylar's help (providing necessity, which often has brought out new facets of powers - see Matt, Peter), would fit with previous occurences perfectly.
*: '''Option 2: Separate powers, complementary to each other'''
*: If you go with the seperate but complementary powers, it's a bit more difficult as I see it - somehow, Maya "gained" Alejandro's ability. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way that I know of that that could happen based on the show so far is if Maya was an empath - wouldn't that be a twist! Yes, there could possibly be other ways (being twins and all), but it hasn't been demonstrated as of yet. In the end, we won't know for sure unless Sylar a) doesn't kill Maya and b) uses Maya's half of the power.
*: '''Maya's "real" or "primary" power?'''
*: Another thing that is problematic to me with the complementary theory comes in naming Maya's power - no hero yet has had more than one power, unless that power is to somehow absorb other powers (Sylar's intuitive aptitude, Peter's empath). So if Maya has indeed absorbed another power (Alejandro's), she would have to have some other primary power, and the poison one would have to be secondary if we were going to be consistent (primary and secondary, btw, are my terms I just made up for original vs absorbed powers), and that would be the name of her power, and Alejandro's would still be Alejandro's Ability.
*: '''Solutions?'''
*: Any solutions to the problems I've outlined? Do I have a premise wrong, or am I interpreting the separate/complementary power theory incorrectly? I'm not opposed to them being separate, it would be a lot simpler that way, but I don't see a way around Maya "absorbing" another power, if they're seperate, and still having her power as her "primary" power.
*: --[[User:5of0|5of0]] 03:46, 28 December 2007 (EST)
**Well, now that's the whole point, isn't it? We really don't know enough about Alejandro's ability to name it anything other than "Alejandro's ability". Perhaps his power is simply that he can withstand Maya's ability, and the "reversal" part is actually just a natural calming influence he has on her (which Maya can now do by herself) and the "antidote" is not really a power at all. Or perhaps his power is that he can both withstand the poison ''and'' reverse its effects. In that case, Maya hasn't "absorbed" anything, she's just discovered that she and her brother have a similar facet of their complementary powers. It's really hard to say, isn't it? I'd like to give a more definite "yes, they're the same" or "no, they're completely different", but I can't. We simply don't know enough about Alejandro's power to say how it works, how exactly it fits in with Maya's power, or how we should name it. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:36, 28 December 2007 (EST)
***Nice summary, Ryan, but you left out that you also think that limiting the name to only what is non-speculative (poison immunity) is incorrect.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 13:52, 28 December 2007 (EST)
***Okay, I'm good with just leaving it at "Alejandro's Ability," or possibly changing it to "Poison Immunity" but only with a note about his power being not fully known at this point or something. My main problem was renaming it to something that implies more about the power, one way or the other (which "Poison Immunity" still does to some extent, but the note would help rectify that). I still am of the opinion that they're the same, and skeptical of the "simply calming" theory. Alejandro's eyes darkening when he reverses the effect is telltale of that being a "power" to me; the overlapping powers I would be slightly more comfortable with, but it still feels contrived. '''But''' as you said, there isn't any definite evidence for either way yet, so my vote lies with it remaining as-is, probably until either a) They visit Suresh, b) Sylar uses Maya's ability while Maya is still alive (probably a longshot) or c) Tim Kring comes out and says "Oh by the way, Maya and Alejandro's abilities are _________" (not holding my breath). A sidenote that I forgot to mention, that isn't relevant at this point, but if they were the same, I like "Poision Manipulation" or something similar for a name, since the power would involve both poisoning others and reversing the effect. Or perhaps just give him Poison Emission too, as that now includes control of the emission, and would be easier ;) --[[User:5of0|5of0]] 14:00, 28 December 2007 (EST)
**** Of all the names you just mentioned there, the only two I object to are "Alejandro's ability", cause that's not really a name, and "poison emission", cause Alejandro hasn't been shown to emit any poison.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 15:41, 28 December 2007 (EST)

****** "Mental manipulation" is misleading too, but we use it. It makes it sound as if the Haitian can manipulate conscious thoughts, which isn't true; but it does cover both the power-blocking and memory aspects of his power.

******You're right, I think "poison immunity" is too limiting, and thus speculative to leave that as the name of his power since it implies that that's the only aspect of his power. I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been. Alejandro certainly has an immunity to the poison, so the term is not speculative, but I believe calling the entire power name "poison immunity" would be wrong. Just as calling Hiro's power "time travel" would be limiting, so would calling Alejandro's power "poision immunity". And because we don't know very much about Alejandro's power, I think it's also, in turn, speculative since it implies that that's all there is to it. We just don't know what to make of the reversal part. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:05, 28 December 2007 (EST)
*******Ah, what a little clarification does! I had read MiamiVolt's interpretation of your opinion as being that you were for "Poison immunity". Now that you've explained it, I am 100% with you on the poison immunity, which is why I wanted a note - I think it's too limiting, and implies that he doesn't have other power. Your analogy with Hiro is great. So in summary, until we have more evidence, we should just keep it like it is. --[[User:5of0|5of0]] 19:50, 28 December 2007 (EST)

I am hoping that by the time Peter goes back in time in volume 3 and absorbs Alejandro's power (my wishful thinking at work ;)), it will actually have a name. That being said, I'd like to suggest "antidote emission" as the name for Alejandro's ability. In order to cure a poison, you have to develop an "antidote", and for all intents and purposes, Alejandro's ability was to be the antidote to Maya's poisoning. Whether or not the antidote cured anyone except for himself is a side issue, and wording it this way would not limit it to only being the antidote for himself without being speculative.

Alejandro has a power (stated by Sylar and [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=12055 confirmed] by the writers).--[[User:Ice Vision|Ice Vision]] 17:34, 10 December 2007 (EST)
**what he said. {{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 23:23, 11 December 2007 (EST)
*Perhaps Alejandro when he touches Maya causes him to become briefly affected to the plague Maya emits but being a blood relative (like Mohinder and Shanti), his blood may have resistance to the plague so his eyes glow briefly but disapear when Maya calms down. [[User:horrorman|horrorman]] 12:35, 12 December 2007 (EST)
** Not exactly. You're comparing apples and oranges. Mohinder's immunity was to a virus, not a power. Shanti's power was not the "Shanti virus" -- that's just a virus that Shanti got. Alejandro's immunity, however, is to a power, not a virus. Thanks to his ability, Alejandro is unaffected by Maya's power and is able to reverse its effects. Also, as I have stated before, the writers have already confirmed that Alejandro ''does'' indeed have an ability. I don't think there is anything else to say about this topic.--[[User:Ice Vision|Ice Vision]] 13:51, 12 December 2007 (EST)
***Also however how do we not know that Shanti's ability is to create the virus? There may be no evidence yet to support this, but there is none to deny it, she had an ability (as far as we know). Also perhaps Alejandro's ability was a sort of advanced immunity excretion to viruses like a passive ability such as Claire's regeneration. When perhaps he touches Maya he calms Maya down so she can re-absorb the virus, but then Alejandro's ability takes effect, and gives the people infected immunity from the virus, saving them. --[[User:Horrorman|Horrorman]] 19:15, 15 December 2007 (EST)
**** You're right. It is possible that Shanti's ability is to create the virus. However, when Mohinder's mother describes how Chandra felt about Shanti -- "From the moment she was born, he was convinced that she was special. And she was special." (''Seven Minutes to Midnight'') -- she uses a tone that implies that Shanti had a beneficial ability. It wouldn't make sense for Shanti to be "special" if she can create a virus that causes her own death. That's just my opinion, though. Also, you're saying that Alejandro does have an ability, which is what I've been trying to say.--[[User:Ice Vision|Ice Vision]] 19:37, 15 December 2007 (EST)

Ok I concede he has an ability, but it must be passive. Anyway about Shanti, just because her mother described her as special does not mean that the ability was meant to be beneficial, perhaps she was speaking from a memorial sense that her death made her special, in helping Mohinder find his destiny. Her ability may very well be the virus, and Mohinder's ability like Alejandro's (speculation) is a immunity excretion except Mohinder accesses it through transfusions (perhaps he doesn't know how to use his gift yet). Also Shanti's mother may have the typical parental belief that their children will do good, when we know that is not always the case.

If we get a better understanding of how his ability worked (via flashback, or if Sylar somehow turns out to have absorbed it), then we can try again.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 04:28, 8 February 2008 (EST)
** Good call. I forgot this was even still up for a vote. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 09:04, 8 February 2008 (EST)

== rename ==

hey guys we don't have name for alejandro's ability , it would good if we had name for this interesting ability , from the show Poison eradication or poison absorbtion would be a good name , since this guy ded lets name the ability and we can rename if more of his ability is explained further, sounds like a good idea?

* There isn't consensus for the ability name so it remains unnamed. CBR is starting up again, and this would be a good question to ask.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 19:38, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

Poison Manipulation for Maya and Alejandro's

This could be like Hiro's space and time manipulation where he has three aspects to his ability but unlike Matt's telepath are not extension of the original.

Poison Emittions: Reverse the effects:Is able to direct to another person or themselves Bring back the dead: --50000JH 10:08, 1 October 2009 (EDT)50000JH

  • Then it's definitely not the same as Maya's ability. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:31, 9 October 2009 (EDT)
  • Maya and Alejandro's abilities were related, but different: Maya could emit poison and deactivate the process, while Alejandro could only deactivate. He was just an antidote. AltesUTC CH
  • Maybe Alejandro body itself did not how to emit poison. User:50000JH/sig
    • Alejandro actually seemed to absorb Maya's poison... AltesUTC CH

No intention on being rude, but you speculate a lot about useless stuff. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 20:49, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

Poison Emission Negation and Immunity

I know it's a mouthful, but it covers all aspects of the power.--Ratclaws 16:39, 5 November 2009 (EST)

  • Maybe "poison absorption and immunity". Says the same thing and it's shorter. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 16:44, 5 November 2009 (EST)
    • Yeah, that is better. His ability absorbs the poison, and he is immune to it.--Ratclaws 16:56, 5 November 2009 (EST)
      • I like just "Poison absorption". But the "and immunity" part doesn't bug me. --Skullman1392 21:21, 8 November 2009 (EST)
        • Yeah. If he can absorb it, than you have to immediately know that he is immune, otherwise he would die. Poison absorption is the way to go.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 21:24, 8 November 2009 (EST)
          • That is exactly what I wanted to say, but I wasn't sure if I would word it right :P --Skullman1392 21:49, 8 November 2009 (EST)
  • Sorry, but I disagree. "Poison absorption" suggests he can affect any form of poison, whether it came from Maya or not. For instance, he could heal a person that was contaminated by a regular toxin. Since we do not know if this is true, the name seems to me inadequate. --Referos 19:14, 11 November 2009 (EST)
    • That's what the limits section is for. I like the name "Poison absorption", and since Maya's ability is called "Poison Emission", this fits. --Powermimic 02:31, 22 November 2009 (EST)
      • I agree and I'm for said change. --OutbackZack 18:38, 27 November 2009 (EST)
        • According to our naming conventions, a descriptive name created by the community for an ability cannot suggest possible unknown effects of the ability. Since simply "posion absorption" suggests that Alejandro can absorb poison in general, even if you explain it in the article the name is still considered too broad.--Referos 18:47, 27 November 2009 (EST)
          • Poison emission suggests it can release any type of poison. But it doesn't. The name really does fit.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 18:48, 27 November 2009 (EST)
            • Not really, it says it emits poison, it doesn't specify which, it can be understood as emitting a poison, which it does. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:53, 27 November 2009 (EST)
              • So, the description of Poison absorption can say, to absorb the poison that is emitted by maya, or something like that.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 18:56, 27 November 2009 (EST)
                • "Poison emission" comes from a canon source. Not trying to be a jerk, but, again, according to the naming conventions, it is okay for a name derived from canon sources to imply unseen aspects of the ability, but it is not okay for a descriptive name created by the community to be similarly broad. (edit conflict be damned)--Referos 18:59, 27 November 2009 (EST)
                  • The reason I suggested "Poison Emission Negation and Immunity" was to make clear it only negated the effects of Poison emission, not all poison's.--Ratclaws 20:26, 27 November 2009 (EST)
                    • That just seems a bit too long of a name.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 20:27, 27 November 2009 (EST)
                      • I know, but it's the only thing I can think of that covers all aspects of the ability.--Ratclaws 20:31, 27 November 2009 (EST)
                        • Agreed. Having a long name for this ability is our only other option as long as we're anal about the details. Anal, isn't a bad thing, just the only word I could think of haha --OutbackZack 23:55, 27 November 2009 (EST)
          • I agree with you, Referos. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:39, 28 November 2009 (EST)
            • "Poison Emission Negation" would be fine, the immunity part is not neccesary. If he negates it, wouldn't he negate it in his own body as well? Poison Emission Negation covers all aspects of the ability. I still like "Poison Absorbtion", but whatever, "Poison Emission Negation" is ok by me. --Skullman1392 02:35, 28 November 2009 (EST)
              • I'm not sure. I think that, because Alejandro's power is, by far, the most unique of all powers (in the sense that it's less than an actual ability and more like some sort of connection with his sister), it's probably impossible to properly name this ability. So, unless we hear from a writer or his power is mentioned again (extremely unlikely), I think the only safe choice is "Alejandro's ability".--Referos 18:53, 28 November 2009 (EST)
                • Yeah, I always understood it as being like the cure to Maya's ability. The polar effects. Works well with the twin thing. With that said, I don't see why it would be impossible to name the ability base on what we know. He cures people of it if done within time and he's immune to it. The immune part makes perfect sense when you consider him to be the cure. --OutbackZack 11:08, 2 December 2009 (EST)
                  • Guys, it's honestly even possible that Alejandro has the same power as Maya. Maya was eventually able to undo her poisons, and both she and Alejandro are immune to her poison. It could be that he simply never used his ability. There are a million options. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 13:03, 2 December 2009 (EST)
                    • But that's speculation. What we do KNOW is that he can save people from the poison if acted on quickly. To say that they had the same powers is just going out on a far breakable limb. --OutbackZack 15:11, 2 December 2009 (EST)
                      • No, what we do know is that he is immune to her ability, and when he calms her down, it stops. His eyes turn black the same way hers do. It's altogether inconclusive. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 19:48, 2 December 2009 (EST)
                        • In the article it says he uses his ability to combat hers. That in itself is stating more than what you said, or the article is misleading. --OutbackZack 03:21, 3 December 2009 (EST)
                  • Considering that Maya's power manifested when she discovered that her brother's wife was cheating on him, it would make sense that the rest of Alejandro's ability would have manifested when he was being killed by Sylar.--PJDEP 02:23, 10 December 2009 (EST)

Just change it

Alejandro is dead, and it is extremely unlikely we'll ever see anything like this again. Therefore, the ability name poison emission negation works, based on the fact that's all we've seen him do. In my opinion, the absorption part isn't necessary because when Maya stops using her power, everyone returns to normal, so if her power was blocked it is unlikely that everyone would continue to die, but that's unimportant. Anyway, worst case scenario is that Alejandro comes back from the dead and displays another aspect of the ability. However, we had "memory manipulation" as "memory restoration" when we didn't truly understand it's limits (and we still don't). When it turned out that Damien could do more then restore memories, did the world end? No, we simply changed the name to "memory manipulation" and went on with our lives. The only difference here is that Alejandro hasn't been seen since Season 2, but is that really enough to avoid making such a simple decision?--PJDEP 02:05, 10 December 2009 (EST)

  • There is insufficient evidence that his ability is "poison emission negation". It is so ambiguous, it is theoretically possible that he has no ability at all. Even if his power is to simply stop Maya, "poison emission negation" may not even be the best name for it. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 02:49, 10 December 2009 (EST)
    • If it's possible he has no ability simple having the page is speculative, but seeing as the page does exist I cannot understand why poison emission negation does not work, it's the only thing we've seen him do, and will likely ever see him do (cause he's dead and stuff, y'know?). Also, see in my above comment about memory manipulation, something else that was named before seeing all the effects.--PJDEP 21:21, 10 December 2009 (EST)
      • I agree with you. And not all ability names all expressly clear; that is why we have a sentence or two at the top of the page ("blah and blah is the ability to"). It would simply say "Poison emission negation is the ability to negate the effects of Maya's Poison emission." This sentence would also appear on the Ability page, if I'm not mistaken. If somebody is unsure what the ability truly is when seeing a link to it on another page, logically, they should click the link right? And then they will see right at the top of the page what it does. And to be completely honest, since this is from the second season, anyone who is relatively new to Heroes probably won't come across this ability anyway. --Skullman1392 22:26, 10 December 2009 (EST)

BTE

Memnarch writes to ask, "Alejandro's ability seems to have something to do with absorption, at least as far as his sister's power is concerned. Would this absorption have other potential applications as well?"


You mean, like, he could read TV Guide and know what time everything was on?

Poison absorption, then? AltesUTC CH 03:14, 10 December 2009 (EST)

  • I already know someone will use "leading the witness" argument. Before that comes up let's note that the writers never corrected the believed information in the question. --OutbackZack 05:52, 10 December 2009 (EST)
    • I guess then, it'll be like Trevor's ability - one that cannot be named, since they didn't confirm nor disposed of the absorption aspect. AltesUTC CH 06:02, 10 December 2009 (EST)
  • In my mind at least, it does seem to confirm that he has some sort of ability, he isn't just calming his sister down.--PJDEP 22:32, 10 December 2009 (EST)
    • It pretty much confirms that Alejandro's power is to absorb whatever stuff Maya created, as they didn't deny it (and in fact, they hinted it's the only thing he could do). And since Maya's stuff is poison... AltesUTC CH
      • Not denying is definitely not the same as confirming it. Writers (in general) do that all the time. In this same BTE, someone asks if Nathan was Kaito's killer and the writers did not deny it. But, obviously, we know that Nathan is not Kaito's killer.--Referos 10:11, 12 December 2009 (EST)
        • Well, Kaito's killer's identity was a big spoiler at that moment, but Alejandro's power may be different. AltesUTC CH 10:13, 12 December 2009 (EST)

Poison Emission Negation, Dang It!

I still stand by my previous decision. Altes said, and I quote, "I disagree. Yes, Alejandro can counteract Maya's ability, which is to emit poison. However, he doesn't negate the emission of poison itself - instead, he blocks his sister's power, which is somewhat different. Furthermore, he is immune to it. My conclusion is, Alejandro's ability is to counteract his sister's ability, not to negate poison emission. See the difference?" Honestly, no, I do not see the difference. Poison emission is his sister's ability, and he can not only negate the ability itself, but can negate its effects on him. The name covers both bases. It still doesn't cover the "black eyes" bit, but neither does poison emission.--ERROR 23:14, 30 January 2010 (EST)

  • Agreed. I do not see the issue here, it should be changed. --Skullman1392 13:29, 31 January 2010 (EST)
    • I disagree for reasons stated above. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:41, 31 January 2010 (EST)
      • We still don't if Alejandro nullifies toxins, if he blocks the specific ability of poison emission or if he simply possess some sort of connection with his sister. We simply don't know enough to name this power.--Referos 16:53, 31 January 2010 (EST)

Poison Emission Manipulation

He subconsciously uses it to protect himself from poison emission, and he can consciously use it to turn it off. Just thought I'd throw that out there.--ERROR 22:09, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Maya

It is possible that Maya developed this ability, just as Matt did with illusion.--Masterofgravity (talk) 20:46, 16 October 2015 (EDT)
