******* Although laser emission sounds better, I agree with Dman. On a related note, "laser" is an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation" and that should be noted in the article.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 14:24, 14 October 2008 (EDT) |

| 4. Common names for abilities | Names from other works |
5. Descriptions of abilities |

| Source/Explanation | |
| Eric Doyle asks if Michael about his lasers (Doyle). | |
Laser manipulation would require a laser to exist in the first place. I don't think Michael is manipulating lasers--in fact the article never mentions manipulation again after the title. I think there's a better name for this ability. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:48, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
- So, laser generation? Laser creation? Let's have a discussion for this name. Radicell 06:50, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
- "Laser generation" is a good start. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:54, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
- I agree with Ryan. He doesn't manipulate them, he creates them. I'd say Laser generation sounds good. Super-Hiro 08:23, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
- Emission would be similar to generation; but would be more consistent with existing naming conventions. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/14/2008 09:24 (EST)
- And yet we call Lighting just Lightning. Shouldn't it be lasers because Eric specfically calls the "Lasers". Because we've done it with Lightning, why not Lasers?--Dman dustin 13:23, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
