As I'm writing about "power absorption", I'm afraid it might get too confused with [[power mimicry]]. Does anybody else feel that a name change is necessary? Any ideas? IIRC, Sylar says "consume"??

Revision as of 22:40, 8 January 2007

Is "Power absorbtion" a power or a plot point? It seems more like the latter to me: it's a consequence of a power (intuitive aptitude) rather than a power itself. Have we eliminated the "plot points" category? --Ted C 17:17, 21 December 2006 (EST)

Good eye! Yes, we've eliminated "Plot Points" because it was becoming a wasteland of non-plot points. We opted for more specific categories to describe the articles. Though power absorption is definitely not a power (well, unless some crazy writer decides it is...), we decided to include it in the powers category; we subsequently changed the category description to include "powers ... and their effects". I know, there's no perfect spot for it. That's why we also created the category "Sylar's crimes" to further delineate the article's categorization. Hope that helps! :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:31, 21 December 2006 (EST)

Name Change

As I'm writing about "power absorption", I'm afraid it might get too confused with power mimicry. Does anybody else feel that a name change is necessary? Any ideas? IIRC, Sylar says "consume"?? I was thinking of "power stealing". Thoughts? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 04:05, 24 December 2006 (EST)
