Talk:Monica Dawson

Notes for spoilers

I couldn't find specifically the articles that mentioned her from the Spoiler:Season Two article, so if anyone can, feel free to put them in the Notes section.--Bob 15:20, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

• I was wondering if Lyfeiscake couldn't be Dana Davis because I can't find where does the photo the user uploaded come from ... --  (talk) 15:47, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
  • It doesn't look like it. The picture is also on BuddyTV's website by the way so it's probably from there. (Admin 15:50, 17 August 2007 (EDT))
    • Not that it necessarily means anything, but the only result in a Google search for Lyfeiscake is to the Large Penis Support Group. Mmm-kay. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:34, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Micah's cousin

I couldn't find anything that said that Monica is Micah's cousin. Acting as a surrogate, yes, but not cousin. If it's out there, I'd love to see a reference to it. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:48, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

• Found it at TV Guide--Nana is Micah's great-aunt, which makes Monica Micah's second cousin. I can draw a diagram if anybody needs. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:11, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
  • A diagram might help. Nana has a daughter and that daughter has Monica and another kid (a boy I think). Nana has a sibling (who may or may not be Paulette Hawkins) and that sibling is one of DL's parents. DL is Micah's father. So Monica's mother/Nana's daughter is DL's first cousin. Nana is DL's aunt. Monica and her brother are DL's first cousins once removed. --Meteor

Name of Power

So far we've only seen her duplicate things shown on TV. I'm trying to think of a good name of this ability, but i dont want something stupid sounding like "Television-Induced Innate Ability"...lol. Anyways, maybe if any of you on here watch the anime Naruto, any resembleances of her power to the abilities of the Sharingan? Just something I thought was funny :) --Pred 0212 22:13, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

• What about photographic imitation? The only reason why I say photographic is because like someone with a photographic memory, she could perform any act with exact precision. Also when it showed her watching the wrestling match, the sound effects sounded like camera shutters. FlyingMan 22:18, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

• • A savant is a person who can re-create something by seeing it once... a bit like Enhanced memory, but not quite. One who might be a Savant could be able to hear a piece by Bach and play it back on their piano after just one hearing, or meet a person once and sculpt their figure down to the last detail. syndrome - now, this is a bit of a different, as it's physical, but in general, it's the same thing. She sees an act, and can imitate it. :::: EITHER THAT or something involving flat-out "Mimicry" or "Immitation". --Riddler 22:24, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
  • I think a few of the suggestions are good. I believe the National Enquirer spoilers referred to it as "photographic reflexes." I also like something with "mimicry" in it like "physical mimicry", though there's probably a better word than "physical." (Admin 22:28, 15 October 2007 (EDT))
  • I really like the name photographic reflexes. Jason Garrick
    • I'm not the biggest fan of "Photographic reflexes" only because they aren't really reflexes. A reflex is an uncontrolled reaction to some stimuli. On top of that, her two uses of the power aren't reflexes- making a tomato into a flower and thinking before attacking the robber... this is mimicry in it's finest.--Riddler 22:53, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
    • Also remember, Monica was not even thinking about cutting the tomato when she made it a rose. When she attacked the robber she maybe though about attacking for a split second. She had NO idea that she was going to do that. I think her power is exactly what reflexes. But Riddler, I see what you mean: for instance it isn't the kind of reflex that when you take rubber and hit your knee, your knee flies up. It is almost as if her mental and physical beings are working together to make a photographic powerful "reflex". Tell me if that confuses you. I think the word mimcry is what throws me off. If we use mimicry we should use the word physical. BEcause photographic mimicry sounds like empathic mimicry to me. Beside the first two words being the same. We need to distinguish that Monica's powers to not involved replicating others powers. (Even though we're not sure yet). Also there is a person in the DC universe who has this power. I don't remember who but I'll call my guy tomorrow and ask. But how about:

-Physical Replication -Physical Reflexes -Photographic Physical Replication I think the key words we can use are: Physical, photographic, replication, reflexes, mimicry.
