Terrakinesis

Should we include his known ability as Terrakinesis? Joshua Korolenko

• We don't know for sure if that's his power. For all wthat was shown in the promo vid, it could be just telekinesis. I think it's terrakinesis as well, but let's just wait for confirmation. Until then, it could go in the theories section of this page. -- Psilaq R.- \m/ -_- \m/- 10:59, 30 July 2009 (EDT)
• Why is Terrakinesis listed in his infobox if its not confirmed yet? --Snow Leapord 18:51, 6 August 2009 (EDT)
  • I think it was confirmed somewhere. But I may be wrong.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 18:56, 6 August 2009 (EDT)
    • The only place I ever saw it saying it was terrakinesis was at the ODI. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 19:05, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Main Character?

I could be wrong, but wasn't he listed as a guest star in the opening credits? --Skullman1392 22:16, 21 September 2009 (EDT)

• ummm I really dont remember. on another note is his ability really terrakinesis? and whats with the ink thing? by the way amazing premier. -Tsmarg
  • I'm positive he was listed with the guest cast, and thus cannot be considered a main character. --Skullman1392 07:52, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
    • He was credited on-screen as a guest star, but in the press releases he is credited as a regular. This is similar to David Anders in early Season Two, his status was changed eventually. -- Tristan0709 talk 02:59, 23 September 2009 (EDT)
      • Still considered guest cast... I vote he should be removed from the main cast (on our site, obviously) untill he is listed as part of the main caston the show. Technically we have no cannon evidence he is main cast, and again, maybe the bigshots at Heroes decided they don't want him around for long and changed his status. If he becomes listed with the main cast, he can thus be changed back. --Skullman1392 22:34, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

Arnold

How do you know his name is Arnold. Does he call him that, during the episode? --Janrodrigo 10:28, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• A page has already been created for this character, and it lists his name as Ronald. AltesUTC CH
  • That page is named incorrectly. Edgar asks Samuel if the "Chinese guy" is going to replace Arnold. Also Jack Wallace is credited as Arnold. See Arnold. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:17, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Abilities

Do we know for sure that his ability is terrakinesis? Because of those tattoo things, I thought he had could do something else. Any thoughts? - Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | 11:38, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• Maybe he developed his ability and may be able to do some randomly different things? AltesUTC CH
  • For some reason, I feel that he is either like he has multiple powers (Terrakinesis: when he moves the earth; Some Ink Ability: When he manipulates the ink; Telekinesis or something like that: When he keeps the pins from falling.) - Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | 11:57, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
    • Ink-okinesis, yeah. :-P AltesUTC CH
      • Lol. If it's actually Imprinting, than maybe we named it wrong. I think he has a form of Empathic Mimicry, but maybe a bit more selective. - Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | 12:02, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

+The actor confirmed in that LotsOfInterviews interview that was his character's ability. He said something about the minerals in the ink is the reason he can move in round. --OutbackZack 13:48, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• If he has Empathic mimicry, he wouldn't need to ask Ronald to send him back in time. --NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 14:55, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
  • Then maybe he has another ability that allows him to have multiple abilities. - Vampirate68 | Talk | Contribs | 16:39, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Have we thought, maybe he can control earth and ink...it's possible that they share some of the same composite minerals--Anthony Gooch 16:35, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

and he may have been controling this mystery mineral stated above to control the metal bottles that he threw to convince Hiro at the carnaval.

• Well at the moment it says

Using his strange tattoo power once again, images of Claire, Sylar, and Peter appear on Lydia's back.

Evolved Human Abilities Samuel has the ability to move earth.

So it needs to be changed, should we wait for the next episode to shed some light on it?-- By Danko CH 16:46, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

We could change it to something link "control mineral materials". Ink can have those. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:57, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• I would guess that he is an empath like Peter. The reasons I suspect this is that he seemed quite interested in discovering that Peter 'was' and empath by Edgar. Also, it would explain why he can do tricks with ink and manipulate the earth. It is entirely possible that Lydia's ability is ink manipulation (or whatever) and the other guy (being buried) had terrakinisis, or someone else from the carnival. -Barbedknives (talk)21:18, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

• • I think his brother Joseph was the Empath thats why he was interested in Peter, and he said it on the last episode that he controls the earth on his feet.--Darkfiremaster13 06:26, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

Name it Samuel's ability, just like with Mohinder. =\ AltesUTC CH

• • • Actually i thought he said he could control the earth under his own feet. Meesa yoda 21:53, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
      • Sorry my mistake, but it still proves that he have Terrakinesis and was not an Empath right? I think that is why he was interested in Peter cause their group needed another Empath to "replace" the past Empath on the group (I'm guessing it was Joseph). Like Hiro doing something that Arnold couldn't do because he was old and weak --Darkfiremaster13 05:44, 1 October 2009 (EDT)

just noticed some nice trivia

Samuel uses the name bill hooper as his alias, this is also the name of the man who wrote about the mysterious drownings in nathan's newspaper at the end of volume 4.

• They're both named after Bill Hooper, a script coordinator for Heroes and a graphic novelist. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:28, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

Anyone hope he doesn't die?

• Since Heroes has a long trend of killing off its villians during or after one volume (look at Adam, Arthur, Knox, Flint, Maury, and now Danko), it's likely Samuel will meet the same fate. I for one really hope this doesn't happen for once, because Samuel's a fairly unique main villian by the show's standards. He's not uber-powerful like Arthur or Sylar, but is strong enough to be a threat by himself, unlike Danko or Adam (who was just more durable then an average human). Anyone else hope he sticks around for a while?Swm 08:55, 8 October 2009 (EDT)
