Heroes Wiki talk:Ability name origination
Excellent idea.--Hardvice (talk) 01:22, 15 November 2007 (EST)
- I know on more than one occasion someone raises the question of where a particular name originated, so this should become a big help as it gets filled out. Feel free to add any you come across or know off the top of your head. (Admin 01:23, 15 November 2007 (EST))
water mimicry
- Was water mimicry descriptive or canon? I thought they essentially came out and said "he has the ability to mimic the density of water." (Admin 01:29, 15 November 2007 (EST))
- I guess it's descanon. It wasn't explicitly named, but the name is taken from the description. Not sure what you'd call that. We'll probably need notes anyway, to clarify things like that the Haitian's power to cancel abilities and his power to erase memories have been referred to separately, ditto Hiro's time travel/teleportation.--Hardvice (talk) 01:40, 15 November 2007 (EST)
- I changed it and Bliss and horror to Descriptive/Canon since they're somewhat similar. They didn't come right out and say it was the name, but they did describe the power canonically and the name was taken from the canonical descriptions. We can always change the term if there's a better one. (Admin 01:54, 15 November 2007 (EST))
