Caitlin's power

• Just wanted to predict that Caitlin's power is lightning. Claude unintentionally taught Peter that he had to think of the person with the power to really use it. Peter was able to use the lightning power while thinking of Caitlin. Q.E.D. --AverageMan 08:50, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
  • I would tend to agree; there's also the parallel in the mermaid story story Caitlin tells Peter (the mermaid shares her power with the "big, dumb hero"). --Simply Agrestic 10:00, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
  • The problem with this theory, of course, being that Peter hadn't yet met Caitlin when he utilized lightning in Four Months Later. To me, it seems the emotions he feels for her drew up the ability, not simply him thinking of her. He's also exhibited abilities numerous times when it was unlikely that he was thinking of their user (going radioactive in How to Stop an Exploding Man, for instance, or using telekinesis while fighting Claude when he didn't even remember who gave him the power). His emotions control his abilities, not his memories of the abilities' owners. --Paronine 10:20, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
