Ability name

Based on what we have seen so far, I would propose "digital transportation" as the name of her ability. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:39, 27 September 2015 (EDT)

• I personally want to see what happens first. Too many questions. I'm not even totally convinced she DOES have an ability yet and that it's not an ability associated with the sword instead. How is her father in the game? Does he have the same ability? If she has the power, can she bring people with her? Can she move in/out of digital systems other than Evernow?

  • Oh, yeah, absolutely. I should have said in my message above that the proposition is for a future date. As of now, I think "Miko's ability" is still fine. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:14, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
    • Agreed. Just wanted to toss out my 2 cents in case anyone else came along. :) (Admin (talk) 00:17, 28 September 2015 (EDT))
      • I like "digital transportation," it fits the ability pretty well, but I agree with the waiting game. I kind of feel like this ability could be an offshoot of digital communication, for the record :) -- Psilaq R.- \m/ -_- \m/- 00:26, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
    • If we're gonna vote on a name to use in the future, I suggest Digitization, the definition of which is "the process of converting information into a digital format". -Kon (talk) 07:48, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
• Can I just say how much of a mess this supposed ability, if it truly is Miko's ability (it's definitely SOMEONE'S ability), is? There have been some wacky powers on Heroes but I think this one takes the cake. Micah's power and Hana Gitelman's power are realistic examples of interfacing with machines and the digital world, but Miko's ability... damn, that's some crazy stuff. Probably one of my least favorite abilities on Heroes so far, just because of how it was represented, mostly with Miko pixelating in and out of the real world. Makes sense within the game, but not within the real world, no matter what your ability is... -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 06:44, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
  • I never really liked any power that physically transforms every atom of a character's body into something else, especially since abilities are supposed to be an adrenal reaction... that's just too crazy for me to believe could happen in reality. Especially since nine times out of ten, the character's clothes transform with them, for example water mimicry, smoke mimicry, freezing etc. In that respect, the ability often credited with being the most bizarre of them all (spider mimicry), would actually be more likely to happen in reality than any ability that completely changes your molecular structure. -Kon (talk) 07:48, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
