Abilities

So what to call Ricky (trainee)'s ability? --Radicell 05:58, 26 January 2010 (EST)

• I've added links to Ricky's ability, although I think a merge with future terrorist's ability would also be fine. --Radicell 06:13, 26 January 2010 (EST)
  • We're not sure what the future terrorist's ability was, so I don't think we should combine the two. I like that we got to see another group with abilities... I think the halfway house / specials training facility has a teleporter (the guy squatting up high on four stacked bundles of hay), a girl who could do acrobatics (perhaps adoptive muscle memory, she is doing a similar pose to what Monica did...), an energy mimic (someone who can transform their body into pure energy), and a speedster (the guy running a drill through tires super fast). Just my theory, though; some of those could be hard to agree on from just a single panel. As for the person with the knife at the end, it's hard to tell if that's water mimicry or invisibility, but since there's no water drip I'm leaning towards invisibility. We should find out about that for sure in part 2. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:08, 26 January 2010 (EST)

Didn't like this GN

Reason: too many unanswered questions! First, what the hell is Ricky's power? Second, you can't just show us a bunch of new powers in one panel, and not elaborate on any of them! Third, that water mimic at the end... I thought Tracy was the only remaining (and relevant) water mimic... enough said. --Radicell 06:13, 26 January 2010 (EST)

• Hence why it's (at least) a 2 part novel. Also, I think Ricky's power was only shown in one panel to let us know that he has a power, for the story it's irrelevant as to what that power is. I don't think Ricky's power will ever be eleborated on. But I'd say, just wait until next week. --Smouvy 11:39, 26 January 2010 (GMT)
  • Actually there should be 2 other water mimics out there besides Tracy, whether or not the writers are reintroducing them to the main story, we'll have to wait until next week. And who knows maybe this water mimic is someone totally new or someone we know but unexpected. --Dman dustin 09:42, 26 January 2010 (EST)
    • Water mimis was able to show examples Elisa or someone new- --Adamhiro 16:42, 26 January 2010 (EST)
      • Will these powers not need pages? Oh and I didn't think it was water mimicry at the end... I've been wondering where Becky is? --mc_hammark 13:18, 26 January 2010 (EST)
    • I was under the impression that it was water mimicry at first, but then I kinda thought that since the person was holding the knife it might have just been invisibility (Becky). Does anyone else wonder what the point of stabbing Tracy is? I'd assume she would just regenerate, even it was a surprise attack. Perhaps being stabbed in the back of the head would do her in (ie, Sylar/Claire)?--Halfxwitted 13:21, 26 January 2010 (EST)
      • Looks more like water than invisibility to me, it's quite different from the GN invisibility effects we've seen so far. I don't think a stab in the head would do much, not it she turns into water by instinct like she did when Edgar attacked her. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 13:26, 26 January 2010 (EST)
      • Well that woman sitting with Tracy didn't look like Angela (until the last panel where she does kind of look like an older woman with the same facial features). Each artist has their own style and abilities/characters change appearance sometimes. Perhaps the people drawing the GN wanted to be somewhat ambiguous to even the most avid Heroes fan. If it was too obvious that it was Becky, then where's the suspense?--Halfxwitted 13:38, 26 January 2010 (EST)
