| The Company's assignment tracker entry for Brendan Lewis explicitly calls his ability "plant manipulation". | |
Name
Perhaps this ability could be summarized as "florakinesis," as it involves an influence over plant movements as well as plant mimicry.--Jeffrey the Red (talk) 19:10, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
- Those are Lewis's roots, an extension of his body, that Lewis uses to attack the Kill Squad.--MiamiVolts (talk) 20:00, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
Sounds reasonable. The only problem I have with that is that Thomson Jr. believed that some of the plants growing in the area were caused by Lewis' presence, and yet were not Lewis himself (The Kill Squad, Part 1).--Jeffrey the Red (talk) 20:48, 15 July 2008
- Thompson didn't know for sure. All we know are that they don't normally grow in that area. For all we know, Lewis planted them himself or can create seeds of any variety of plant, but that doesn't mean he controls their movements. There is more than one explanation that complies with the current name.--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:04, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
I don't know if the move was such a good idea - while it does say his ability is plant manipulation, it also says he has regeneration. And the way the assignment tracker describes his ability makes it sound more than just plant manipulation.--BardinessBoy 21:35, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
- Fortunately or unfortunately, however you want to see it, the description doesn't matter as much as the explicit stating of "plant manipulation". Regeneration is likely an aspect of the plant manipulation.--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:39, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
- Not only that, but now I think we should merge this with plant growth. His personal history states: "he discovered that he could slightly manipulate plants to grow faster". So, originally he wasn't just similar, he was exactly like Au Co. With all the multiple "his power evolved" citations, it's clear that his ability developed. Poor Au Co: she would have become some sort of weird plant woman!--Referos 21:56, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
