**I would be very careful about purporting that just because somebody is the child of an evolved human, that they are evolved themselves. The term "evolved" denotes that the change has already taken place — we have been using the definition that they have ''already exhibited powers''. It's fine to mention Molly or the Petrelli boys as kids of an evolved human, but I would just caution against making the jump between 2nd generation and evolved. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 11:32, 30 January 2007 (EST) |

***True. According to genetics, only 50% of the children of a metahuman will be metahuman. The other 50% will be carriers but not exhibit any abilities. --[[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] <small>[[User talk:Yoshie|(talk)]]</small> 11:36, 30 January 2007 (EST) |

This article needs some help. First, it's nowhere near standard format, and has no category (nor does it fit well in any of the existing ones). Second, it should, following naming conventions, be "Second generation heroes". Third, we try to avoid using the word "Heroes" to describe people from the show because it's loaded, morally speaking.
I would suggest we make it into "List of second generation evolved humans", put it in Category:Lists, and expand it to include a list of ID'd second gens. Thoughts?--Hardvice (talk) 01:43, 30 January 2007 (EST)
Feel free to change it. I didn't know how exactly to format it and was at a loss for a synonym for people with powers. I was just trying to get the thought out due to the revelation of Janice Parkman's pregnancy and the impact that may have on a new generation of evolved humans. Sorry about that!!

- No problem. It's a great idea for an article (especially since Claire and Micah are confirmed second gen evolved humans). It just needs some work, and it's probably best to solicit some ideas for how to clean it up, so I thought I'd ask.--Hardvice (talk) 01:48, 30 January 2007 (EST)

Article title
My suggestion would be "Power heredity" or something similar. --Ted C 10:25, 30 January 2007 (EST)
- Much better title - good job. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:32, 30 January 2007 (EST)
