Talk:Tommy Clark

Last Name

Are we sure that his last name is spelled "Clarke" (with an e)? This "article" from TV Guide has "Clark" (with no e). Do we have a more reputable source? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:26, 22 September 2015 (EDT)

• Here's a tweet from the official Heroes Twitter account. I was hoping that his name would be spelled "Clarke", because it seemed like, before this tweet, nobody could really make their minds up as to how it was spelled. -Kon (talk) 08:38, 22 September 2015 (EDT)
  • Thanks. I'll wait to delete the misspelled pages until we have confirmation, hopefully on Thursday. The Heroes Twitter page is more reputable, but not always 100% accurate. Thanks for the link! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:44, 22 September 2015 (EDT)
    • Okay, how are we spelling this? Do we have a definitive answer? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:24, 25 September 2015 (EDT)
      • It's spelled "Clark" in the eBook excerpt I found, which is the most definite answer we've had so far (as it is canon material). It's also spelled Clark in a new interview. Speaking of his name... if we're also going by what the eBook says, his real name is Kevin. -Kon (talk) 08:33, 25 September 2015 (EDT)
        • Ooh, I wish I hadn't read that! I got the book last night and hope to finish it this weekend. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:44, 25 September 2015 (EDT)
          • Oh, I'm sorry! My lips are now sealed. -Kon (talk) 10:33, 25 September 2015 (EDT)
            • I'm only half joking. I don't ever read spoilers for other shows, but I always do for Heroes. It somehow helps me enjoy the show (and the universe) even more. Plus, it's a short book, so it won't take long to read. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:59, 25 September 2015 (EDT)

Tommy's ability

After Odessa, it's now pretty clear what Tommy's ability is: to send people or objects to whatever place he's thinking about. When I try to put a name to this ability, the first word I think of is Transportation. I think that word would be perfect for Tommy's ability, especially as its definition is "a means of conveying people or goods from place to place", and there have already been two other evos listed as having this ability in the original series. What do you think? -Kon (talk) 10:33, 25 September 2015 (EDT)

• We have to be careful of taking the word "transportation" that was used in Chandra's journal and applying it to what Tommy does. It may or may not be the same thing. I'm inclined to say that they are the same thing, but I'm not positive. (It's certainly better than listing him under teleportation, which is about moving yourself, not other objects. That's where Tommy is now, and shouldn't be.) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:03, 25 September 2015 (EDT)
  • Joanne calls him a teleporter. I think the best ability name I have heard for him so far is "object teleportation". It describes what he does, and it fits with Joanne's description. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:24, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
    • Well, we based on the previews for the next episode (SPOILER ALERT!) I believe we're going to see Tommy learn he can teleport himself, too. To me this ability is just Teleportation as we know different people with the same ability can manifest them in slightly different ways. (Admin (talk) 19:39, 26 September 2015 (EDT))
      • Okie doke! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:40, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
    • Just in case anyone else missed it, here are some images from the preview for the season showing him teleport himself. It's also even clearer if you watch the video clip itself.

Why has teleportation been taken off from his abilities ? --Masterofgravity (talk) 16:09, 6 November 2015 (EST)

Blood type

So Anne Clark's blood type is an O and Tommy's is AB (the only one a child of an O can't have), which means Claire also does not have O, which limits the number of people who could be blood recipients from her. -Lөvөl 19:36, 30 October 2015 (EDT)

• I think that would likely be correct, though it might depend on the dosage. Claire is not a typical example of a blood type donor as she has the ability of rapid cell regeneration. Recall that because of her ability, Claire's blood was found useful for creating a cure for the shanti virus.--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:27, 30 October 2015 (EDT)
