Power
My guess is that it has something to do with solar energy. -Lөvөl 22:08, 8 October 2015 (EDT)
- Yeah, it does seem like he's mimicking aspects of the sun, but this is a good place to start until we get some more concrete/canonical info. Like many I'm not a fan of Soandso's ability pages, however speculative ability names without any canonical backing I loathe even more. (Admin (talk) 22:34, 8 October 2015 (EDT))
- Agree. And as a major character, we are going to learn a ton more about his ability ... Our learning curve will probably match Luke's learning curve as we will learn along with him about his power. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:42, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
- I believe his ability is http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Solar_Energy_Absorption maybe combined with just a bit of http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Plasma_Attacks and maybe heat irradiation
- Solar mimicry? Solarkinesis? Solar manipulation? Solar absorption? We'll wait until we get more info obviously, but just throwing some names out there. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 13:32, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
- My first thought after this week's episode was "solar mimicry". Definitely not "solarkinesis" or "solar manipulation" since he's not moving or manipulating the sun. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:10, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
- Am I the only person who thought this ability is induced radioactivity? The glow is similar, Luke had the same "boiling the glass of water" scene as Ted. Everything he's done so far checks with IR. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 16:42, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
- I think a lot of us did after Under the Mask. But there are a few differences. The glow is different -- his hand really does look like the surface of the sun. But a different glow isn't enough to be a different ability (see pyrokinesis). I'm glad they brought back the boiling glass of water that Ted did (which was originally a scene from the Engineer in the unaired pilot). But the biggest difference is that Luke's ability is powered by the sun. I know the Sun produces radioactivity ... and it may turn out that these two abilities are the same, but until we know that, we can't assume that they are the same. Ultimately, I see two reasons why this should be separated from induced radioactivity at this point: the writers have been purposely ambiguous about what the power is (as Luke discovers it, so does the audience), and the writers have been purposely deliberate about linking the power to the Sun. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:31, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
- I believe his ability is Solar Energy absorbtion and Projection, [[1]] , I suppose that is the closest thing to what has been shown on the show. User:NiopTres/sig 14:32, 12 October 2015 (EDT)
