Talk:Candice Willmer

Appeared in Company Man

She was the nurse that was caring over Parkman at the end of the episode....and later was shown again in next week's preview. Right? HiroDynoSlayer - 18:14pm 2-26-07

• She was listed in the credits, so yes, I believe so. --Fcphantom 23:41, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Power

So...do we know what her power is? (Heroe) 22:26, 16 February 2007 (EST)

• The spoiler for Missy Peregrym said she was a "temptress" (some kind of pheromones, maybe, but that seems awful Eden-esque), but then again, it called the character "Faith" so who knows how accurate it was?--Hardvice (talk) 22:29, 16 February 2007 (EST)
  • Just as a heads up, we're going to have to come up with a better name for her power. "Temptress" is a person, not a power. I'm sure we'll understand more when the ep airs, but I'm thinking "temptation" will be her power. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:41, 21 February 2007 (EST)
    • Her power could be anything, really. She could be a temptress who can channel the spirits of the Marx Brothers for all we know. I think we're reading too much into the word "temptress".--Hardvice (talk) 21:58, 21 February 2007 (EST)
      • Right, totally agree. I'm just mentioning it because over at evolved humans, she's commented out, and her power is listed as "temptress". I just want to make sure we don't start calling her power "temptress". Ugh. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:41, 22 February 2007 (EST)
        • I read somewhere it's more than likely shape-shifting of some sort, but we'll have to wait and see (look for her to do a nice Simone impression).--Baldbobbo 00:41, 27 February 2007 (EST)
          • How do you guys know what her power is like? Did NBC send out a spoiler?
            • See Spoiler:Candace and Spoiler:Parasite#Published Spoilers. (I guess it was revealed in the The Ausiello Report?) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:50, 28 February 2007 (EST)

Next Question

Should we assume the character is actually called "Candace Willmer", since she has appeared that way on the list three times already? I mean, the NBC blurb also called "Eric Roberts" "Eric Robert" and thought "Aron Malsky" was the actor's name. (Insert regular caveat about NBC confusing DL with the Haitian and periodically spelling Niki with two k's here.)--Hardvice (talk) 22:32, 16 February 2007 (EST)

If the only reference to "Candice" is a single NBC blurb then I'd go with Candace for now unless we see "Candice" show up more frequently. If we find that they changed their mind and actually changed her name to Candice we can always fix it. Though the more reliable sources have repeatedly shown Candace, so I'd put more trust in them. (Admin 22:42, 16 February 2007 (EST))

So far it's the NBC blurb and TVGuide, but since TVGuide is just going with what the NBC blurb says...let's move her.--Hardvice (talk) 22:46, 16 February 2007 (EST)

Ok. It may go without saying, but I'd leave the redirects for Candice in place for now at least until we know for sure what her name ends up being. (Admin 22:49, 16 February 2007 (EST))

I have a feeling when it comes down to it, they'll go with what's on the list. They pay pretty close attention to it -- I mean, they made a printout with names from the list. Hopefully the people that "matter" will throw us a bone and keep some continuity. :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:25, 16 February 2007 (EST)

Spoiler Info up so early?

Since this is the character page, why is the spoiler information up? I left most of it as a comment in other pages since that episode doesn't air until 5 Mar. Normally the character pages reflect what has actually aired.--Baldbobbo 14:02, 24 February 2007 (EST)

• If the character hasn't appeared yet at all then typically the character page gets created with the spoiler information, but the character doesn't get linked to from non-spoiler pages. That way people interested in spoilers can still find out beforehand, but people who avoid spoilers don't get exposed to it. (Admin 14:11, 24 February 2007 (EST))
• Actually, I just checked and the page is currently linked to from the list, so you're right it shouldn't have spoiler information in the main article. (Admin 14:14, 24 February 2007 (EST))
  • I just delinked Candace from the list for now, so we're ok and can continue to add spoilers to her article until she airs. This is like how Claude's article was entirely made up of spoilers until he aired. (Admin 14:18, 24 February 2007 (EST))
    • Cool beans.--Baldbobbo 14:26, 24 February 2007 (EST)

Redirect

I notice there's no redirect from "Candace" to "Candace Willmer" How do you make one? Heroe 12:29, 3 March 2007 (EST)

• Edit Candace. For content just place #REDIRECT [[Candace Willmer]]. (Admin 12:31, 3 March 2007 (EST))

Thanks. Heroe 12:38, 3 March 2007 (EST)

Whoever put "Dynamic Camo"

• This isn't that. Dynamic Camo is the ability to blend in with your surroundings unseen... aka Invisibility.--Riddler 22:43, 5 March 2007 (EST)
  • I suppose it's possible that it's considered dynamic camo, but I agree Invisibility would be more likely. In any event one of the best reasons to not call it dynamic camo is that we've gotten that term from Chandra's files I believe so we need to wait until they actually explicitly identify someone's power as dynamic camo before we can call it that. (Admin 22:55, 5 March 2007 (EST))
  • Define: Dynamic - Refers to actions that take place at the moment they are needed rather than in advance. Almost all of the abilities are dynamic, I know, but Candace's power appears to take a little concentration, like Hiros. Claude's invisibility is dynamic (camo). Nathan's flight - Dynamic (Flight).--Riddler 22:58, 5 March 2007 (EST)
    • Also, I didn't mean to sound snappy there. :P --Riddler 22:59, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Spelling

Although NBC.com likes to call her "Candice", the name is spelled "Candace"on the list, which is the only canon source to date for the spelling.--Hardvice (talk) 14:11, 8 March 2007 (EST)

Faith

What ever happened to her being called Faith? NBC sucks with their promo tags for episodes.--Baldbobbo 01:03, 9 March 2007 (EST)

• As far as I know, Faith was only ever in fan-published spoilers. Not that NBC doesn't suck sometimes, but this time, the first official mention of her was as Candace. Or Candice, at least. I guess they do suck after all.--Hardvice (talk) 02:09, 9 March 2007 (EST)

I'm so glad that....

No has tried to change this page to "shapeshifting" Heroe(talk)

• Why, is Candace Willmer's nickname "shapeshifting"? :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:25, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

Real Appearance

Wouldn't it be funny if Sylar caught Candace, and she reverted to her normal form to be played by Rosie O'Donnell? --AverageMan 10:47, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

• 'cause if I was dumpy in real life and I could shape-shift, I'd appear to look pretty darn good. --AverageMan 19:24, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

Changing the Effect?

Any thoughts on why they changed the visual effect used when Candace uses her power? Did they think it was too confusing, or do they want to show her more as a shapeshifter and less an illusionist? I guess that falls in line better with the original description of a character wielding a tremendous amount of sex appeal. Nevertheless, it was kind of jolting. It's not like they even tried to make it look the same as in Parasite. --ZyberGoat 00:06, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

• They've done similar things with some of the other powers (precognition and invisibility come to mind). I think it's a creative challenge to not repeat yourself. It also keeps the story moving ("We've already paraded the power the first time it was used, now we're just referencing it to make sure you remember.") And then there's the issue of different directors with different visions. Plus, it certainly helps keep the budget down. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:14, 24 April 2007 (EDT)

Is the Illusion only visual?

Does her illusion only fool the eyes, or can it fool other senses too? If not, surely HRG would have noticed the difference in hairstyle and clothing while hugging 'Claire' in .07% --Havoc 04:12, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

• In .07%, Candace didn't seem to go "full force" with her power--she really only changed her appearance. In Parasite, she exerted a lot more control over her surroundings. She was able to somehow hide Simone's body and change a few other details in the room. That's why her power is not called "shape-shifting" but "illusion". — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:45, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
  • Just to be clear, I meant that if her power of illusion cannot fool the sense of touch, then HRG would have noticed a clear difference between what he was seeing (i.e. Claire's hair) and what he was feeling (Candace's hair). So is this what tipped him off that it wasn't really Claire? Or was it something else?--Havoc 07:22, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
