I think we're making a big leap calling [[Shanti Suresh]] an [[evolved human]]. Her father said she had a "genetic anomaly" that started him on his research, but that doesn't mean she had whatever mutation results in superhuman [[power]]s. She may have had a well-known genetic disorder that lead to her death. We definitely don't know enough about her to list her as an evolved human. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 15:55, 24 January 2007 (EST)

==Discuss appropriate naming convention==
Overwhelmingly, all sources for the show use '''''special''''' rather than '''''evolved''''' throughout the canon and near-cannon. Most evolved uses also, are referring to evolution as a process, not as an identifyer of the people. I think the wiki should align to this majority, and refer to them as 'special' (which is explicitly used), as opposed to 'evolved humans' (which is never explicitly used). <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 12/16/2008 11:02 (EST)</small>
*Also, in [[The Recruit, Part 1]] the opening sentences directly refer to them as ''''specials''''.--<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight:bold;"></span>'''[[User:Elemental Manipulator|Elemental Manipulator]]'''</span> [ [[User:Elemental Manipulator|U]] | [[User_talk:Elemental Manipulator|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Elemental Manipulator|C]] ]'''</small> - <span style="color:green;">When in doubt, ask BTE </span> 03:15, 17 December 2008 (EST)
** They've also been called posthumans and freaks. "[[Evolved human]]" is used pretty heavily in the [[assignment tracker map]]. It seems like any of those terms would do. I say leave good enough alone. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 10:08, 17 December 2008 (EST)
*** I'm sure there are various synonomyms. Freak is a term Claire uses a handful of times about herself, but not widespreadly used to the group in general. Posthuman likewise, is a grouping term for specials, but has only been used once, maybe twice. (I can't even find it in the transcripts of s1-s2 and the gns we've transcribed so far. My point in bring this up for discussion, is that 'specials' is used as a grouping term in a much larger way, spanning many multiple GNs and episodes from all three seasons. Far more than any other grouping term, it has been the most common; and therefore worth looking into. The assignment tracker is a relatively knew tool that has emerged this season; and still yet, they are using the term 'special' bountifully throughout this season 3, just as they did in seasons 1 and 2. Thanks [[User:Elemental Manipulator]] for mentioning [[The Recruit, Part 1]]...their use of 'specials' jumped out at me too when watching it yesterday.<small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 12/17/2008 10:17 (EST)</small>
*I would say defiantly no to "special humans". "Specials" is a possibility, but I think "evolved humans" is just fine. -[[User:Level|Lөv]][[User talk:Level|ө]][[Special:Contributions/Level|l]] 12:10, 18 December 2008 (EST)
** Yeah "special humans" seems weird. "evoloved humans" however, just seems natural because that's the term the wiki has always used, and we've gotten used to it. The actual phrase "evolved human" (I don't think) has ever been used in canon or near-canon. "Specials" has been used in both canon and near-canon alot; thus my reason for bringing up the discussion. If we want to be more aligned with the canon and near-canon references, "specials" is more appropriate than "evolved humans". <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 12/18/2008 12:49 (EST)</small>
***"Special" means that they could have anything from a power to Down Syndrome. It's not specific enough, even though most uses mean "people who have powers". We know that they're humans, and evolution has been refered to multiple times as the source of the powers, so calling them Evolved Humans is just logical. --[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 21:54, 21 December 2008 (EST)
**** It is logical, it is very logical; but it rarely used within the heroes universe; and "specials" and its variation is used a multitude of times throughout all of the heroes universe and all seasons. EH makes good sense, because it is descriptive and it is what we've used from the beginning, so we're used to the term. However, just from what has been overwhelmingly used within the show, GNS, and 360 material, 'specials' is by far, the most referred to way of identifying people with abilities. <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 12/23/2008 11:50 (EST)</small>
***** Other terms have been used just as explicitly, most notably "posthuman". I don't see any reason to prefer "specials" above other terms that are used. Frequency of use doesn't necessarily equate validity of term. In fact, I think the term "special" is quite loaded and has a connotation that does not necessarily apply. In the end, the show uses numerous terms for concept of a person with abilities, and they all co-exist in the world of ''Heroes''. So should it be with our site--multiple names are fine and can be used interchangeably. I see nothing wrong with using "evolved humans" in the title of this article. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 13:29, 23 December 2008 (EST)
****** I can let this go, not that big a deal. What made me inclined to research it and bring it up, is solely because of the volume. Posthuman has been used what, once, twice maybe? "Evolved human" none...it is an implied term in about 7 or 8 unspecific references. '''''Special''''' however, has been used close to 4 dozen times. I just felt the weight of the useage towards '''''special''''' has grown so much larger than any other 'onscreen/gn/webisode' reference, that it was worth discussing. <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 12/23/2008 13:55 (EST)</small>
******* From another perspective, in near-canon sources, "evolved humans" is used 29 times on the [[assignment tracker map]] and once in [[Evs Dropper's messages]], "posthuman" is used twice on the map and thrice in messages, and "specials" is not used on the map and once in messages. "Evolved human" is used twice in [[Bridget's messages]], and it's implied that it's a term used by Chandra himself. Ultimately, I think we just need to use multiple terms on the site. Creating a redirect for [[specials]] was a good idea. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:41, 24 December 2008 (EST)
******** Also, the [[#Examples from the Transcripts of Episodes, Graphic Novels, and Webisodes that refer to powered-people as special:|above list of the word "special" being used]] only has two examples of the word being used as a noun. A graphic novel says, "tracking specials around the world," and a webisode says, "These 'specials' pose a threat to society." (Both are introductions, which is another murky area, but for the sake of the argument, we'll just say that they were in the source proper.) Most of the other "special" references refer to abilities (which really are special--they're very unusual) or to people (for instance, Claire calls Zach special). I guess what I'm getting at here is that doing a search for "special" in transcripted material will yield a much higher search result since the word "special" is a very common word. But seeing the word used as a noun to mean "people with abilities" is just about as rare as finding the term "evolved human" or "posthuman". -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:53, 24 December 2008 (EST)


== An attempt to clear up ability overlap. ==
:We have more info on her specific to a 'genetic anomoly' that most people on the computer list.


Teleportation versus Space-time manipulation, Super speed versus Santiago's ability versus Edward's ability, etc. Overlaps are going to get worse, and it's better to figure out how to deal with it now rather than later. Perhaps something of this nature would work:
:Chandra himself quoted her as having a 1) 'genetic anomoly' and 2) another reference says she was 'special' and 3) Chandra goes as far as saying "My hope is that no one will suffer as she did.", which goes about as close to saying she had some type of power that brought about her death, without specifically saying what it was. If she didn't have a true power, and her death was simply inert, then none of those 3 points would be worth noting.


As it is, for abilities, we list Confirmed, Unconfirmed, and Future. Perhaps we should add "Other examples" or "Similar powers" or something of that nature. In some cases, it's only going to add links from some pages to others, but in some instances it would actually be important. For instance, Daphne does not have Space-time manipulation, but amplified, she can travel through time. Hiro has space-time manipulation, but an aspect of that, explicitly, is teleportation. Thoughts? --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 23:44, 22 December 2008 (EST)
:At least by including her in the list with the power listed as 'genetic anomoly' it is recorded. If the show ever returns to expand on her past, and theres a good chance it will with the continued influence of Chandra, Mohinder, and Sanjong, this entry isn't without merit.--[[User:HiroSynoSlayer|HiroSynoSlayer]]
* I second the "similar powers" concept. - {{User:Tristan0709/Signature}} 23:56, 22 December 2008 (EST)
** We don't need a "similar abilities" section. Similar abilities are not the same abilities. This would also lead to very speculative posts (as it already has) about how powers work. I believe similar powers are already in the Notes sections of articles about abilities. I think that's probably enough. Anything else would actually muck up the overlap and confuse things more, I'm afraid. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:53, 23 December 2008 (EST)
**I agree. What I meant was, if we were forced to choose one of those options, I would go for simliar abilities. I think that with amplification around, we may see all abilities do strange things. Also, should people on this list be included if they have lost their abilities? -- {{User:Tristan0709/Signature}} 01:54, 23 December 2008 (EST)
*** I think it's okay to list them. Maya is still an evolved human, which is what this page lists. I think we just need to make her ability field say "[[Poison emission]] ([[power theft|lost]])". -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:10, 23 December 2008 (EST)


== Shouldn't we? ==
::However, it's completely unsupported at this time. We have to treat as canon only what's aired, and to date, all we know is that she had a "genetic anomaly". That could be Down's syndrome for all we know. Including Shanti on a list of evolved humans, when we define "evolved humans" as those with superpowers, is pure speculation.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 16:17, 24 January 2007 (EST)


is there a page spesificaly on evolved humans? if not, why cant there be? we still havent seen the connection from the brain to the adrenelian or how the set abilities are limeted by logical and phisical limits. we know of things like if and ability is mental, elemental, phisical or temproall/spatal, but not the limitation. we need to have soemthing more to describe evolved humans.
::"Genetic anomaly" is not a power, nor is being "special". So far, there is no evidence that Shanti was an evolved human. So far, all we know is that she had some kind of genetic mutation or abnormality that was linked to her death. As I said, it could have been a well-known genetic disorder. Her condition was important because it was the motivation for Chandra's genetic research, but there is no indication that it was related to the genetic condition that creates superpowers. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 16:18, 24 January 2007 (EST)


== We need an article and not a list. ==
:::It's not pure speculation....the show's premise is that folks on it with 'genetic anomolies' have powers....it isn't a show about gentic anomolied Down's syndrome people.


This really serves more as a list than it does an article on explaining Evolve Humans. There's a lot of information about them such as abilities being passed on, activation by the eclipse, history of them (Abu's ancestors) showing how long they have been around, the different categories their abilities fall under, rights, movements, etc. It would defiantly take some work, but we need it, because right now this is only a list of Evolve Humans and nowhere does it explain them the depth that this topic deserves. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 13:22, 27 April 2009 (EDT)
:::Name any example from the show where other people are identified with 'genetic anomolies' of any kind that isn't related to a power.


If you want an article about evolved humans make one. The list should not be changed in favor of your idea. --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] 15:39, 27 April 2009 (EDT)
:::Shanti's power is simple not-yet stated, like many other folks on the lists, journals, map, etc.
*I never said change the list. I said have an article. That way anytime you click on Evolved Human it takes you to an article that better explains what one is instead of giving you a list. The list is a separate article in itself. Nowhere did I say change the list. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 16:38, 27 April 2009 (EDT)
**Bump. Anyone want to help me to create this page? I guess we would make it a sub user page before we would publish it onto the main site. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 10:28, 9 December 2009 (EST)
*** What would you like to write there? I can only think about something like "humans who develop special abilities are called evolved humans". {{User:Altes/Signature}} 03:52, 10 December 2009 (EST)
****There's a lot of things that we can cover. Here's what comes off the top of my head; the history of evolved humans (from the earliest known to their place in society), how abilities are passed down, the four main types of abilities, organizations that deal and have dealt with them, how their abilities were activated (the eclipse), and the list just goes on. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 05:38, 10 December 2009 (EST)
***** Half of these should go to the abilities article, if one is to be made. {{User:Altes/Signature}}
******Yeah, we could use an ability page also. Then have a summary of the ability page on the evolved human page. I'm sure if we started to work on a page we'll think of information to put on it. After all, we do have a page about the Barbie doll and licence plate numbers haha. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 05:56, 10 December 2009 (EST)

I noticed that there is an inconsistency on how iStories are used as sources in this list. Some characters just have iStory as a source, some have a determined iStory, such as The Civilian or Faction Zero, and some have it right down to the chapter, such as The Civilian, chapter 503. Could we sort this out? [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 11:55, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

I went ahead and changed [[Niki]]'s power to "Unknown" since we've seen no confirmed instances of her using [[enhanced strength]].--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 20:08, 22 January 2007 (EST)

== Dennis ==
== Distinguish Between Show, Map, and List ==


I know there was no demonstrated ability, but he was an evolved human, shouldn't he be still listed? We've listed people without knowing what their abilities were, haven't we? [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 11:55, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
I think we need to somehow distinguish between names on this list. It looks odd to have 23 names in the [[:Category: Evolved Humans|category]], and then a million and one names on this table. I suggest we color code the names in a very basic way. Perhaps black for those that are in the episodes/GNs (Charlie, Claire, David Berman, etc.), green for those names that come from [[the list]] (Felipe, Abu, etc.), and blue for those that come from NBC's map (Byron, Penkala, etc.) A person not familiar with the list, or especially with the 360 map, can be very confused coming to this page. "Who the heck is Felipe?" "What is a temptress?" (especially since there's no article on them, and no other easily attainable information). Any thoughts? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 14:20, 24 January 2007 (EST)
* [[Dennis]] is categorized as a [[:Category:Humans|human]], as he should be. He has never demonstrated ability, has never been referred to as being an evolved human, and we have no concrete reason to believe that he has a power. The only two things that would lead one to believe he has an ability are his large pupils and the fact that he spent time in Level 5. Neither one of those is confirmation of being an evolved human; both characteristics have been associated with humans in other cases. See [[Talk:Dennis]]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:14, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
*Something is defiantly needed, the colors could work, but what about the links and those who are from multiple places? Another thing that could be added is a source column. --[[User:Level|Level]] 14:33, 24 January 2007 (EST)

== evo ==

How are we formatting the word "evo"? Are there any written examples of it being in all caps (EVO), or having just a first letter capitalized (Evo), or do we just see it as all lowercase (evo)? The only things I'm seeing is "EVO ABILITY" on the [[evo card]], but the whole card is written in caps, so that's not a good indicator. Anybody find any other examples of how it's written? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:33, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
* Okay, I found [[:File:Evo-Supremicist attack.jpg|this]]. It says "At least 36 killed in alleged Evo-Supremicist attack". The word "Evo" is not in all caps, but just the first letter is capitalized. So I suppose the word can be written either with no caps or the first letter capitalized. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 11:47, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
** I've always just thought of it as short for "[[evolved human]]", and so having it all lowercase seemed natural to me. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] ([[User talk:Radicell|talk]]) 18:34, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
*I say wait to see how it is used on the show. Sounds to me like slur in the same vein as the n word. --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 18:39, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
** Quentin uses it positively. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 19:32, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
***The N word is used positively by African-Americans especially rappers. The N word is still a racial slur. Just because one person uses it positively doesn't change anything. --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 19:40, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
**** I don't think the two words are analogous. It seems like a forced comparison. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:12, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
***** Which is why I said '''WAIT''' to we see how it is used on the show. Anything else is speculation, and any insistence on discussing the word I am going to take the side of evo = N word. --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 20:15, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

== Missing Persons at Odessa Summit ==

There is a Howard Kiddwell (possibly, hard to tell last name), Stuart last name ends in eldern, & most definitely Susan Erikston. All of three of them are on the missing persons board for Evos. None of those are listed I understand why the first two are not listed but is there a reason why Susan is not? --[[User:Snow Leapord|Snow Leapord]] ([[User talk:Snow Leapord|talk]]) 14:06, 1 June 2017 (EDT)

Discuss appropriate naming convention

Overwhelmingly, all sources for the show use special rather than evolved throughout the canon and near-cannon. Most evolved uses also, are referring to evolution as a process, not as an identifyer of the people. I think the wiki should align to this majority, and refer to them as 'special' (which is explicitly used), as opposed to 'evolved humans' (which is never explicitly used). --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/16/2008 11:02 (EST)

  • Also, in The Recruit, Part 1 the opening sentences directly refer to them as 'specials'.--Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 03:15, 17 December 2008 (EST)
    • They've also been called posthumans and freaks. "Evolved human" is used pretty heavily in the assignment tracker map. It seems like any of those terms would do. I say leave good enough alone. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:08, 17 December 2008 (EST)
      • I'm sure there are various synonomyms. Freak is a term Claire uses a handful of times about herself, but not widespreadly used to the group in general. Posthuman likewise, is a grouping term for specials, but has only been used once, maybe twice. (I can't even find it in the transcripts of s1-s2 and the gns we've transcribed so far. My point in bring this up for discussion, is that 'specials' is used as a grouping term in a much larger way, spanning many multiple GNs and episodes from all three seasons. Far more than any other grouping term, it has been the most common; and therefore worth looking into. The assignment tracker is a relatively knew tool that has emerged this season; and still yet, they are using the term 'special' bountifully throughout this season 3, just as they did in seasons 1 and 2. Thanks User:Elemental Manipulator for mentioning The Recruit, Part 1...their use of 'specials' jumped out at me too when watching it yesterday.--HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/17/2008 10:17 (EST)
  • I would say defiantly no to "special humans". "Specials" is a possibility, but I think "evolved humans" is just fine. -Lөvөl 12:10, 18 December 2008 (EST)
    • Yeah "special humans" seems weird. "evoloved humans" however, just seems natural because that's the term the wiki has always used, and we've gotten used to it. The actual phrase "evolved human" (I don't think) has ever been used in canon or near-canon. "Specials" has been used in both canon and near-canon alot; thus my reason for bringing up the discussion. If we want to be more aligned with the canon and near-canon references, "specials" is more appropriate than "evolved humans". --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/18/2008 12:49 (EST)
      • "Special" means that they could have anything from a power to Down Syndrome. It's not specific enough, even though most uses mean "people who have powers". We know that they're humans, and evolution has been refered to multiple times as the source of the powers, so calling them Evolved Humans is just logical. --Piemanmoo 21:54, 21 December 2008 (EST)
        • It is logical, it is very logical; but it rarely used within the heroes universe; and "specials" and its variation is used a multitude of times throughout all of the heroes universe and all seasons. EH makes good sense, because it is descriptive and it is what we've used from the beginning, so we're used to the term. However, just from what has been overwhelmingly used within the show, GNS, and 360 material, 'specials' is by far, the most referred to way of identifying people with abilities. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/23/2008 11:50 (EST)
          • Other terms have been used just as explicitly, most notably "posthuman". I don't see any reason to prefer "specials" above other terms that are used. Frequency of use doesn't necessarily equate validity of term. In fact, I think the term "special" is quite loaded and has a connotation that does not necessarily apply. In the end, the show uses numerous terms for concept of a person with abilities, and they all co-exist in the world of Heroes. So should it be with our site--multiple names are fine and can be used interchangeably. I see nothing wrong with using "evolved humans" in the title of this article. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:29, 23 December 2008 (EST)
            • I can let this go, not that big a deal. What made me inclined to research it and bring it up, is solely because of the volume. Posthuman has been used what, once, twice maybe? "Evolved human" none...it is an implied term in about 7 or 8 unspecific references. Special however, has been used close to 4 dozen times. I just felt the weight of the useage towards special has grown so much larger than any other 'onscreen/gn/webisode' reference, that it was worth discussing. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 12/23/2008 13:55 (EST)
              • From another perspective, in near-canon sources, "evolved humans" is used 29 times on the assignment tracker map and once in Evs Dropper's messages, "posthuman" is used twice on the map and thrice in messages, and "specials" is not used on the map and once in messages. "Evolved human" is used twice in Bridget's messages, and it's implied that it's a term used by Chandra himself. Ultimately, I think we just need to use multiple terms on the site. Creating a redirect for specials was a good idea. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:41, 24 December 2008 (EST)
                • Also, the above list of the word "special" being used only has two examples of the word being used as a noun. A graphic novel says, "tracking specials around the world," and a webisode says, "These 'specials' pose a threat to society." (Both are introductions, which is another murky area, but for the sake of the argument, we'll just say that they were in the source proper.) Most of the other "special" references refer to abilities (which really are special--they're very unusual) or to people (for instance, Claire calls Zach special). I guess what I'm getting at here is that doing a search for "special" in transcripted material will yield a much higher search result since the word "special" is a very common word. But seeing the word used as a noun to mean "people with abilities" is just about as rare as finding the term "evolved human" or "posthuman". -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:53, 24 December 2008 (EST)

An attempt to clear up ability overlap.

Teleportation versus Space-time manipulation, Super speed versus Santiago's ability versus Edward's ability, etc. Overlaps are going to get worse, and it's better to figure out how to deal with it now rather than later. Perhaps something of this nature would work:

As it is, for abilities, we list Confirmed, Unconfirmed, and Future. Perhaps we should add "Other examples" or "Similar powers" or something of that nature. In some cases, it's only going to add links from some pages to others, but in some instances it would actually be important. For instance, Daphne does not have Space-time manipulation, but amplified, she can travel through time. Hiro has space-time manipulation, but an aspect of that, explicitly, is teleportation. Thoughts? --Ricard Desi (t,c) 23:44, 22 December 2008 (EST)

  • I second the "similar powers" concept. - Tristan0709 talk 23:56, 22 December 2008 (EST)
    • We don't need a "similar abilities" section. Similar abilities are not the same abilities. This would also lead to very speculative posts (as it already has) about how powers work. I believe similar powers are already in the Notes sections of articles about abilities. I think that's probably enough. Anything else would actually muck up the overlap and confuse things more, I'm afraid. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:53, 23 December 2008 (EST)
    • I agree. What I meant was, if we were forced to choose one of those options, I would go for simliar abilities. I think that with amplification around, we may see all abilities do strange things. Also, should people on this list be included if they have lost their abilities? -- Tristan0709 talk 01:54, 23 December 2008 (EST)
      • I think it's okay to list them. Maya is still an evolved human, which is what this page lists. I think we just need to make her ability field say "Poison emission (lost)". -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:10, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Shouldn't we?

is there a page spesificaly on evolved humans? if not, why cant there be? we still havent seen the connection from the brain to the adrenelian or how the set abilities are limeted by logical and phisical limits. we know of things like if and ability is mental, elemental, phisical or temproall/spatal, but not the limitation. we need to have soemthing more to describe evolved humans.

We need an article and not a list.

This really serves more as a list than it does an article on explaining Evolve Humans. There's a lot of information about them such as abilities being passed on, activation by the eclipse, history of them (Abu's ancestors) showing how long they have been around, the different categories their abilities fall under, rights, movements, etc. It would defiantly take some work, but we need it, because right now this is only a list of Evolve Humans and nowhere does it explain them the depth that this topic deserves. --OutbackZack 13:22, 27 April 2009 (EDT)

If you want an article about evolved humans make one. The list should not be changed in favor of your idea. --Snow Leapord 15:39, 27 April 2009 (EDT)

  • I never said change the list. I said have an article. That way anytime you click on Evolved Human it takes you to an article that better explains what one is instead of giving you a list. The list is a separate article in itself. Nowhere did I say change the list. --OutbackZack 16:38, 27 April 2009 (EDT)
    • Bump. Anyone want to help me to create this page? I guess we would make it a sub user page before we would publish it onto the main site. --OutbackZack 10:28, 9 December 2009 (EST)
      • What would you like to write there? I can only think about something like "humans who develop special abilities are called evolved humans". AltesUTC CH 03:52, 10 December 2009 (EST)
        • There's a lot of things that we can cover. Here's what comes off the top of my head; the history of evolved humans (from the earliest known to their place in society), how abilities are passed down, the four main types of abilities, organizations that deal and have dealt with them, how their abilities were activated (the eclipse), and the list just goes on. --OutbackZack 05:38, 10 December 2009 (EST)
          • Half of these should go to the abilities article, if one is to be made. AltesUTC CH
            • Yeah, we could use an ability page also. Then have a summary of the ability page on the evolved human page. I'm sure if we started to work on a page we'll think of information to put on it. After all, we do have a page about the Barbie doll and licence plate numbers haha. --OutbackZack 05:56, 10 December 2009 (EST)

iStory sources

I noticed that there is an inconsistency on how iStories are used as sources in this list. Some characters just have iStory as a source, some have a determined iStory, such as The Civilian or Faction Zero, and some have it right down to the chapter, such as The Civilian, chapter 503.

I know there was no demonstrated ability, but he was an evolved human, shouldn't he be still listed? We've listed people without knowing what their abilities were, haven't we? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:55, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

  • Dennis is categorized as a human, as he should be. He has never demonstrated ability, has never been referred to as being an evolved human, and we have no concrete reason to believe that he has a power. The only two things that would lead one to believe he has an ability are his large pupils and the fact that he spent time in Level 5. Neither one of those is confirmation of being an evolved human; both characteristics have been associated with humans in other cases.

evo

How are we formatting the word "evo"? Are there any written examples of it being in all caps (EVO), or having just a first letter capitalized (Evo), or do we just see it as all lowercase (evo)? The only things I'm seeing is "EVO ABILITY" on the evo card, but the whole card is written in caps, so that's not a good indicator. Anybody find any other examples of how it's written? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:33, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

  • Okay, I found this. It says "At least 36 killed in alleged Evo-Supremicist attack". The word "Evo" is not in all caps, but just the first letter is capitalized. So I suppose the word can be written either with no caps or the first letter capitalized. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:47, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
    • I've always just thought of it as short for "evolved human", and so having it all lowercase seemed natural to me. --Radicell (talk) 18:34, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
  • I say wait to see how it is used on the show. Sounds to me like slur in the same vein as the n word. --Snow Leapord (talk) 18:39, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
    • Quentin uses it positively. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:32, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
      • The N word is used positively by African-Americans especially rappers. The N word is still a racial slur. Just because one person uses it positively doesn't change anything. --Snow Leapord (talk) 19:40, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
        • I don't think the two words are analogous. It seems like a forced comparison. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:12, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
          • Which is why I said WAIT to we see how it is used on the show. Anything else is speculation, and any insistence on discussing the word I am going to take the side of evo = N word. --Snow Leapord (talk) 20:15, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

Missing Persons at Odessa Summit

There is a Howard Kiddwell (possibly, hard to tell last name), Stuart last name ends in eldern, & most definitely Susan Erikston. All of three of them are on the missing persons board for Evos. None of those are listed I understand why the first two are not listed but is there a reason why Susan is not? --Snow Leapord (talk) 14:06, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
