{{plus}} |
{{plus}} She brought in a girl called Pamela and a mechanic.<br /> |

{{ |
{{plus}} Linda used her power on the informant.<br /> |

:{{minus}} Linda attacked her informant cause she was about to fire her, making it harder for her to find people with abilities. Just because Linda can take abilities by killing, it doesn't mean she kills only people with abilities.<br /> |

{{note}} Or the other way around.<br/> |

:{{plus}} Perhaps the informant, did not know the full extent of [[Linderman]]'s abilities.<br /> |

:{{plus}}Pinehearst could have been the predecessor to the Company. The writers have referred to Primatech as the Company 2.0. |

| Linda wanted to absorb Linderman's healing ability so she could use it in conjunction with [[mediumship]] to bring back the dead. || None || {{plus}} Linda claims that when she steals Linderman's power she will be unstoppable. Given the fact that healing is not a particularly powerful ability on its own and that it appears to be associated with ability immunity, she must have had some sort of ulterior motive for his power.<br /> |
|||
| Linda was just in the novels to introduce Arthur's ability. || None. || {{plus}} She is dead and her ability is like Arthur's.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} By his own admission, Linderman can't bring back the dead.<br /> |
|||
::{{plus}} Linderman may not have been able to, but he did not possess mediumship. Linda did possess that power, and it's possible that she could use that in combination with healing to bring back the dead.<br /> |
|||
:::{{minus}} Mediumship as it was shown can only see the dead, in no logical way it can be used with a healing ability to restore someone's life.<br /> |
|||
::::{{plus}} How so? If one could see the dead, they may be able to see a way to restore them to their physical bodies.<br /> |
|||
:::::{{minus}} Not much is known about the "angels" Ida and Linda could see, but apparently they aren't made of organic matter and therefore can't be healed.<br /> |

| Linda is [[Arthur Petrelli]]. || In [[War Buddies]] Arthur doesn't display any power. || {{plus}} Linda could have stolen Illusion from someone.<br/> |

:{{plus}} They have very similar powers, and over 30 years, Linda might learn how to not kill people from removing the power.<br /> |
