Character History
Heroes Evolutions
Slow Burn
In chapter 6 of Slow Burn, Josh runs into Draph at a bar outside the Carnival. He meets Chris and informs that he has been working on his dissertation dealing with Nietzsche and his philosophy of the Übermensch. He informs Chris and Josh that there are two girls (a redhead and a blonde) checking them out on the other side of the bar. Josh is quick to comment on Draph's mimicry and how unpredictable he can be. Once Josh gets into his bar fight with Bill, Draph attempts to intervene. He tells Bill that they are not looking for any trouble while holding his fist back with telekinesis. Once Evan starts attacking Bill, Draph accompanies Josh going back to the barto meet up with Chris. After informing Chris of Evan's danger sensing ability, Draph re-enters the brawl. Draph challenges Bill to 'pick on someone your own size' as he is surrounded by other men much bigger than he. Draph stares them down as he ignites his Phoenix mimicry ability. Using telekinesis, Draph moves the pool table to let the brothers escape the bar while telling them that he will handle the situation. They take Chris and leave the bar. Finally, Draph uses telepathy to send Bill on his way and to tell him that he would forget this entire incident in the morning.
Evolved Human Abilities
Draph's original ability is to be able to acquire information without any experience corresponding to that knowledge. Passive use of this ability can give Draph pertinent facts about a situation or person. Active use of this ability can give Draph knowledge about where a person is or what would happen if he took a certain course of action.
Draph also has a form of Ability Replication which can copy other evolved human's abilities upon touch without damaging their ability or life. While Draph's ability replication can hold up to five distinct abilities, each ability needs to have a different classical elemental attribute. Such as the following:
- 1 Air: Invisible interactions with matter and things
- 2 Earth: Manipulations and/or enhancements of one's own body
- 3 Fire: Energy manipulation/generation
- 4 Water: Enhancements of the innate capabilities of one's brain
- 5 Void: Dealing with ability traits or life.
For example, Draph has displayed Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Phoenix mimicry in chapter 6 of Slow Burn. Therefore, Telekinesis would correspond to the Air element, Telepathy with the Water element, and Phoenix mimicry with the fire element.
Memorable Quotes
"You crazy mimics, always coming up with new abilities. Never know what you'll do next."
"Hey, big guy! Why not take on someone your own size?"
Notes
- Draph's dissertation over Nietzsche's philosophy of the Übermensch is another reference to Nietzsche in Heroes. The first one can be found in a deleted scene for Nothing to Hide. While Claire and Lyle were discussing the nature of her ability, Claire was reading a copy of Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra. Also, when Peter wakes up and finds that he is handcuffed to a gurney and unable to escape, Arthur is sitting nearby reading Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra. (Eris Quod Sum)
- Draph's formal name is Senna Xavier Bond. Xavier might be a reference to Professor Charles Xavier in The X-Men. Another connection between the two characters is that they are both Professors.
