Talk:Technopathy

Manipulate Technology or Electronics

I read the article, and I believe the word "technology" is inappropriate. Micah has so far only worked with electronic equipment. Unless we have an indication that he could at the very least fix a mechanical watch, I think we shouldn't be so very broad. -- Cuardin 23:16, 6 January 2007 (EST)

I think that's a good move. Technology is the application of science, which Micah is not manipulating. He manipulates individual electronic devices. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:36, 6 January 2007 (EST)

Examples of Micah's Power

I disagree that there has only been one case of Micah's technopathy. Now, Micah is described as an extraordinarilly smart kid, but I believe that when he is rebuilding his computer in Genesis, that goes beyond simply being "smart". --Cuardin 14:26, 17 December 2006 (EST)

I agree - my bad that I omitted it. (It's been so long since I've seen Genesis!) I think you were right to place the reference in the notes, though, since it's definitely not an overt example of power exertion. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:12, 17 December 2006 (EST)

Hana

How is Hana's power related to this? I am putting a see also category at the bottom of each page -Zeckalpha 19:51, 25 February 2007 (EST)

• Why do we need a "See Also" section when there's a navbar with links to all the powers just below it? Other than the fact that both affect technology, is there any reason to presume that Hana's and Micah's powers are any more related than, say, Matt's and the Haitian's?--Hardvice (talk) 22:00, 25 February 2007 (EST)
  • Good point, but I find the descriptions of both of these powers too similar. In the show/comics their powers are more different than the articles describe them as being. I don't know how to make the necessary changes that make them more distinct. -Zeckalpha 22:05, 25 February 2007 (EST)
    • We have corresponding notes on empathic mimicry and power theft somewhat distinguishing the two "acquisions" (thought that was more relevant when they were called "power mimicry" and "power absorption"). I don't think it would hurt to have a note on technopathy and EDT (or whatever we call it) saying something to the effect of, "Technopathy should not be confused with electronic data trasception, Hana's power to wirelessly transmit and receive electronic communication". — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:28, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Drainage

Did Micah appear drained from using his power or did he just want to go home? I didn't "get" that the power was draining at all. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:07, 16 May 2007 (EDT)
