Talk:Emma Coolidge
Emma's ability is similar to Sound absorption (hearing impaired), but more like Echolocation with sight (Extrasensory perception?) -- Mike the Man-child!
- We can't say that because we don't know if her deafness is a consequence of her ability, if Peter goes deaf when he gets this, then we can say it. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:24, 1 August 2009 (EDT)
If she was deaf she wouldn't be listen to music on a portable. 50000JH
- Maybe she likes to watch music, and/or not the outside world? -- Mike the Man-child!
- Maybe her ability is just a more developed form of sound manipulation, since it was said she can manipulate what she sees.
AltesUTC CH - How can she visuals sound if she can't hear.50000JH
Power Name
- I know these debates have been one giant clusterfuck after the other, but we're really left with no alternative. I don't think we should call her ability Synthesia because it wasn't given as a explicit name for her ability, just a condition with similar effects. Sound Visualization seems a better fit for me, but since an admin has already selected synthesia it's not likely to change anytime soon. What say you, heroeswiki? --Piemanmoo 00:22, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
Synesthesia
- It's not an ability. I have synesthetia. Synthetetes just percieve the world differently by picturing colors in our mind and most of us correlate colors with words and letters and numbers. at least that's me. Every synestete is different but for instance: I can't read that thing where you have to read the color of the world instead of the actual word. Like when reading Red. I wouldn't say that word is black, I'd say it's slightly orange with a green tint. u see? so we can take that off as an ability. Because thousands of people have synesthesia. --Jason Garrick 00:38, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
Sound Visualization.
Ability: Sound Visualization. Simple enough, eh? Short, sweet, defines it without missing anything. The colors can be noted on the page.
On a discussion note, my friend and I got chills when she began playing the cello(?). It was such a cool concept and it was executed beautifully. It'd be a shitty power if she had hearing though. Probably would be quite annoying.--Riddler 01:00, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
