Ability Naming Conventions
The following sources are used for determining evolved human ability names, in order:
1. Canon Sources Episodes
Webisodes,
Graphic Novels,
iStories,
Heroes Evolutions
3. Secondary Sources Episode commentary,
Interviews,
Heroes: Survival
4. Common names for abilities Names from other works
5. Descriptions of abilities Descriptions
6. Possessor's name If no non-speculative
description is possible

Note: The highlighted row represents the level of the source used to determine fire breathing's name.
Source/Explanation
In Faction Zero, the Bowmans are called "fire breathers" a number of times.

is it constant?

like, every time they breath out, they breath out fire? I wouldn't imagine it, but if not I wouldn't see why they couldn't live normally. --mc_hammark 14:15, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Fire exudation

  • This naming conventions gets confusing from time to time. The name Fire breathing sounds more related to Underwater breathing. So far, they have only been described to mostly, "Breath out fire" not "breathing it in". So, if they only breath out fire, the name should be related to Chlorine gas exudation, which is another ability that only breathes out something, but not realy breath it in. Anyone get what I am saying? --NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 15:08, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
    • Yeah, I get what you're saying, it's just out they breath fire (ie the exudate it not inhale it, like underwater breathing does). --mc_hammark 15:10, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
      • I took the courtesy to move the page.--NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 15:17, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
        • My single concern with this: was this ability named by someone in Heroes: Survival? Was it ever explicitly named by NBC or some other credible source? If any of those called this "fire breathing", then that's how it should stay. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 16:00, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
          • While I agree with what you said and the change, multiple people have called Chris, Gail, and Jennie fire breathers. So I guess that is the canon name for it, and it needs to be changed back.--Ratclaws 18:03, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
            • The page should be called "fire breathing" since that's the name we've been given. Even if this were named at Heroes Survival, the iStory has a higher canonicity than H:S. I'll move it back. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:18, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
            • But NivekJ13 isn't that ignoring real life examples, it really is extremely hard to confuse the two. Fire breathing Dragons for example and Underwater Breathing apparatuses. It just seems to me that fire breathing, in order for me to consider "Breathing it in" I have to think about it with some concentration, otherwise I just visualize exhaling fire. Same with underwater breathing. You can exhale underwater, but you can exhale fire, grammatically speaking of course. I'm not sure water breathing (exhaling) makes too much sense either in this case. But every time I hear fire breathing, I'm thinking of the exhalation not the inhalation.--Dman dustin 18:54, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Fire Respiration or Flame Respiration

  • What about one of these, it sounds a little more formal than fire breathing. daevon 19:02, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Blue fire?

Taking in consideration the lead image, can we say Jennie can breathe blue fire, similar to how Flint could throw blue fire? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 20:35, 12 October 2009 (EDT)

Oral pyrokinesis

Nuff said. AltesUTC CH

  • Yeah, you're right. That's probably all that ever needs to be said about that ability name. Ever. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:26, 16 October 2009 (EDT)
    • No, I'm being serious. (Otherwise I would suggest Dragonkinesis lol.) It's basically the same as pyrokinesis: Meredith and others generate fire from their hands, and Bowmans produce it from their mouths. The only difference is the place where fire comes out. It's like Linderman and Ishi, one heals with hand, another with a kiss. AltesUTC CH
      • This does make sense.--Riddler 13:25, 16 October 2009 (EDT)
        • Nothing suggests the Bowman's can generate fire without exhaling it, the same way nothing suggests that Linderman couldn't heal with a kiss or Ishi with her hands. It's illogical. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 13:27, 16 October 2009 (EDT)
