Talk:Claude Rains

This is definitely premature. We should probably wait until the character premieres. At the very least, we should put it in the spoilers category and not the character category for now. All information on other character pages has already been confirmed on-screen.--Hardvice (talk) 00:37, 30 November 2006 (EST)

• Fair enough. Figured since this was with TV Guide it will be pretty widely desemenated quickly... Not sure how to remove a page and/or hide it until the appropriate time.
  • We'll just assign it to the spoilers category. That'll keep him out of the character lists until we change it. Good job with the article, though.--Hardvice (talk) 00:41, 30 November 2006 (EST)

Seeing how Claude is surprised to meet another person who can see him (his first meeting with Peter) takes me back to an idea I had after the second episode: that the parents of our heroes were subjected to an experiment of some kind that triggered the original genetic anomoly that gives them the abilities and then that anomoly gets carried down when they reproduce - making our curent heroes 2nd Generation, and Micah 3rd Generation.Yoshie (talk) 10:30, 29 December 2006 (EST)

Invisibility - hooray!

How cool is invisibility! Really looking forward to this after the break! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:51, 30 November 2006 (EST)

• How cool is Christopher Eccleston? I'm not even much of a Dr. Who fan, but he's definitely an awesome catch for the show!--Hardvice (talk) 00:53, 30 November 2006 (EST)
  • Agree... I mean I, like, had nothing to look forward to before, but now ... hehehe ... - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:00, 30 November 2006 (EST)
• He's an invisible man, what do you mean the article needs pictures?  :) --Orne 17:15, 6 December 2006 (EST)

Claude on Characternav

• So what is he? From the way the producers are talking, I'm guessing he's a Supporting Character.--Hardvice (talk) 02:42, 23 January 2007 (EST)
  • Yeah, why not. Even if he's only on 2 episodes (which is unlikely, since he'll be on a A flashback episode slated for late February (woo hoo!)) he's already been talked about more than many of the recurring characters. I say supporting is fine. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:48, 23 January 2007 (EST)

Claude's Power

• Going by the listed powers in Surresh's files, Claude's power should not be labled as invisibility, but "dynamic camouflage". - Anomy 01:02, 30 January 2007 (EST)
  • Gotta say, I like it! --Fcphantom 01:01, 30 January 2007 (EST)
  • We have no idea if that refers to the same power or not. It probably does, but at this point it's just speculation.--Hardvice (talk) 01:37, 30 January 2007 (EST)
    • Agree, I'm not sure dynamic camouflage and invisibility are the same thing. Kind of like precognition and clairvoyance are different. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:59, 30 January 2007 (EST)
    • Agreed. Dynamic camouflage could be something entirely different, like a human chameleon. For example, someone could hide by standing against a wall and change his or her appearance to blend in. --ZyberGoat 18:15, 31 January 2007 (EST)

Claude Rains

Everyone knows this is an alias, right?--Hardvice (talk) 01:37, 30 January 2007 (EST)

I agree. It seems during the episode that he is not referring to himself but to Claude Raines, who played the Invisible Man on film. Perhaps we should revert back to Claude until we are absolutely sure of his last name. Disney42 01:39, 30 January 2007 (EST)

Is it? I figured either "Claude" took on the name in homage to the original actor... OR it's a joke by the writers and his name really IS Claude Rains. Have they said for certain yet? We do know his name is "Claude" or at least the writers are calling him that, so it's possible that his name is actually Claude Rains... or that he's using that as an alias. I think, like Eden McCain, we call him Claude Rains until we're given a different name. Though if we want to revert back to just Claude there's no harm in doing so of course. (Admin 01:42, 30 January 2007 (EST))

I don't think we need to revert back ... he's definitely calling himself that. But the interview with Chris Eccleston (and his performance of the line) seem to indicate that he was being sarcastic in calling himself "Claude Rains".--Hardvice (talk) 01:52, 30 January 2007 (EST)

Christopher Eccleston? Sarcastic? But he was never sarcastic as Dr. Who! Oh...wait... "Would you mind not farting while I'm trying to save the world?" (Admin 01:55, 30 January 2007 (EST))

In an interview (I'm not going to locate it now, but it may have been the latest CBR interview - oh, and definitely an EW article) they said they named him in homage of Claude Raines. I say keep it. Real or not, he's going by it. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:59, 30 January 2007 (EST)

• It could also be spelled as Raines
