Talk:Examples of simultaneous ability use

Needs

• This page needs to be cleaned up. For instance, there is no such thing as "TK-ing", and power names Do Not Get Capitalized. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:14, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Done. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/9/2008 13:24 (EST)
• We need to look at the name, too. At the very least "powers" should change to "abilities" to fit the convention. Does the name need to be clarified like "Examples of simultaneous ability use" or is "Examples of simultaneous abilities" sufficient? (Admin 13:26, 9 October 2008 (EDT))
  • I prefer the "examples of simultaneous ability use" name, personally. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:31, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

incorrect example in season 3

• (Assuming it's the scene where Peter is talking to future gabriel about getting his power) I don't think Peter used telekinesis on Future Gabriel while trying to read his mind. When he puts his hand out, he's already done trying to read his mind, and there's no indication he's using TK, as there is no effect on Sylar at all. I think he was just threatening him, similar to how he reacted after being removed from Jesse's body. Also, shouldn't the season 3 future Sylars be Future Gabriels?

Removal

I think this should be removed because in this scene Hiro is freezing time. Therefore Peter is only using one ability--BlueRavenBoy 18:11, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

• Peter is using the space-time manipoulation ability passively, in that he's not affected by Hiro slowing time. Stevehim 18:14, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Right -- it's actually a pretty cool effect of the time-stopping ability. Remember when Future Hiro stopped time on the New York subway, and everything froze around Peter, but Peter had no idea what was going on. Similar to when Hiro stopped time as Peter was on the warpath with Adam, walking through Primatech Paper. Great side effect! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:18, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Time Stopping

Can someone confirm whether Peter actually froze time when he telekinetically caught the vial in Powerless? Because I was under the impression it was just telekinesis but I might be wrong. -- Ericcarner - 05:18, 10 October 2008

• Wasn't the vial still spinning slowly, indicating just TK? Plus, I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed elsewhere Peter (not future Peter) has yet to stop time --Matchu 01:31, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Unexpected, half way through Season 1, was the first time Present Peter actively stopped time. Hiros, several episodes before that, was the first time Present Peter passively participated in a time-stop (with Future Hiro on the Subway). --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/13/2008 19:13 (EST)
  • When did he stop time in unexpected? the tazer dealie? that was more llikely TK. --Max00:22, 12 December 2008 (EST)
    • Yes, the taser dealie. Peter used both telekinesis and time-stopping. Lots of previous discussion about this here, here, and here. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:41, 12 December 2008 (EST)

Incorrect Season 2 example

I don't think the example regarding Peter using lightning while time is stopped is correct. Technically, he was using lightning while Hiro had time stopped, right? --Aburu 22:27, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

• Ah, but when one stops time, it stops automatically for the other. Peter may not have been actively stopping time, but his ability was being engaged. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:53, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

Our Father

New example in Our Father: Sylar stopping the bullet telekinetically while detecting Arthur's lies.--Radicell 19:32, 13 December 2008 (EST)

Also, how about when Arthur erases Hiro's memory and uses telekinesis on Ando (It's Coming), or the time when he holds Hiro in place telekinetically and absorbs his powers and his catalyst (Our Father)? --Radicell 19:35, 13 December 2008 (EST)

• Those sound good. Would you like to add them? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:14, 13 December 2008 (EST)
  • Ahh, I was away and it looks like someone else did the job. No problem. --Radicell 22:48, 13 December 2008 (EST)

We missed one

Hang on a minute. When Peter Petrelli was training with Claude Rains in Unexpected, when he used telekinesis he was invisible at the same time. That's pretty significant isn't it? That was one of his first times using an ability off his own bat at all, and he managed two at once? He obviously didn't come out of his invisibility when he used telekinesis, otherwise he'd have stopped being able to see Claude. Immelman 19:15, 23 December 2008

• Good point! Would you like to add it? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:32, 23 December 2008 (EST)
  • Done and done. - Immelman 17:02, 24 December 2008 (GMT)
• I think I have an explanation for that. Invisibility is pretty much a passive ability, and since he was automatically mimicking it in Claude's presence, he didn't have to think about it... but with telekinesis it was a different case. So I suppose for him, it was really only like using one ability, even though he did use two. Either way, that's a very nice catch! I never would have realized that myself...

Intuitive aptitude

What about all the times Sylar and Peter have used other abilities while experiencing the hunger? - Josh (talk/contribs) 23:00, 24 December 2008 (EST)

Flying regeneration

I can't recall and don't have the Season 2 discs, but was Peter shown to regenerate at all when he caught Nathan after the explosion, or was he already fully healed by that point? --Stevehim 23:11, 24 December 2008 (EST)

Wait, who said he had to heal from exploding? Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 23:14, 24 December 2008 (EST)
