First Appearance

Doyle's first appearance was in The Butterfly Effect.

On the spolier for Heroes, it says that his power will be mind control. Should it be said now, or wait until the episode?

Power

Seems to me like a good name would be physical manipulation...or Forced Mimicry...or just Puppeteering

• I'd go with Puppetry only because the preview for the next episode called him the Puppet Master.--Riddler 22:12, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Yeah, that's where I got the idea. But I don't know, it doesn't seem scientific enough, if you know what I mean
    • It sounds no more awkward than alchemy.--Watchmaker 01:40, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
• I did confirm that he was nicknamed the puppetmaster weeks ago. His ability is a form of mind control. He controls the mind though effects the body's responses. His ability is similar to telepathy though he does not effect ones emotions or thoughts. He just controls the brain's response to movement.--ACDC1989 06:21, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Are you quoting your cousin, or are you paraphrasing him? Who exactly is your cousin? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:40, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

When was he locked up in Level 5?

The graphic novel opens "two years ago" which would be 2005 based on the series' present being 2007, but then a couple pages later, October 2006 is identified as being "two years later" from that, which would imply that Doyle was locked up in 2004. My only idea is that they fudged the date knowingly figuring late October 2004 is close enough to 2005 that they could just round down to "two years." - Only3Penguins

the mark

The categories say that Eric has the mark, but his Assignment Tracker doesn't mention any marks or scars on him. Did I miss a scene where you could see it on his neck or something?--Piemanmoo 23:06, 11 December 2008 (EST)

Noah injected him with a pneumatic syringe after Claire took him out. I'm actually doubting this a bit; I don't think that was the same syringe that causes marks, but a mere tranquilizer. I'd have to rewatch the episode to be sure. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 23:08, 11 December 2008 (EST)

• It was a trank, not a pneumatic syringe. He doesn't have the mark. ~~ Darmenos 22:42, 11 December 2008 (EDT)
  • Actually, he does. It was the pneumatic syringe, complete with the double needle on the end and the glowing blue and red/green lights. See here. The assignment trackers don't always list all marks and scars. See Claude's profile, or Jesse's first profile, for example. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:20, 12 December 2008 (EST)
    • Actully, he does. Raiku 00:21, 12 December 2008 (EST)
    • Great! I just looked at the shot you uploaded, and upon a closer look, it is the pneumatic syringe. Initially, I didn't think it was because the blue capsule thing in the back of it isn't really visible when Noah uses the syringe. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 00:22, 12 December 2008 (EST)
      • Yeah, it's a quick shot. There's a frame or two about a second earlier than the shot I uploaded where you can see the serum container. I think this is the first time we've seen the red light turn green, though. I'm glad they resurrected that prop. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:38, 12 December 2008 (EST)
      • ...Damn. Good call, Ryan. ~~Darmenos 23:26, 17 December 2008 (EDT)

Last dance

I was really glad to see Doyle get one last really badass moment on this show, and how better to do that than have him control Sylar? Sent chills down my spine. --Ricard Desi 10:35, 16 December 2008 (EST)

• Who's saying he's dead?--IotV 17.56, 4 January, 2009 (GMT)
  • He's not. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:58, 4 January 2009 (EST)
