Ability Naming Conventions
The following sources are used for determining evolved human ability names, in order:
Episodes
2. Near-canon Sources 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 impenetrable skin's name.
Source/Explanation
The Haitian says that Samedi's "skin is impenetrable" (The Eclipse, Part 1).

Robert Keep

Should we be mentioning him as being one with this power? Yes, it was a deleted scene, but hey. Ricard Desi 00:07, 25 November 2008 (EST)

  • A note for the trivia section. --Matchu 00:07, 25 November 2008 (EST)


Does Michael Fitzgerald have this ability?

Sylar stated that he had enhanced strength and enhanced durability. Would this be similar to what Samedi has?--ACDC1989 06:11, 25 November 2008 (EST)

  • We have no instances of him withstanding anything a normal human could not, so no. (not for now at least.) Psilaq Remake 15:32, 26 November 2008 (EST)

Should this really be here right now?

We don't even have an image for this power, the only mention is by The Haitian. I thought that if we don't see a character use his/her ability, it should be listed as "unconfirmed"? The same thing as people like Albert Rossling, Paul Harding etc. We know their abilities but we haven't seen them use it so we don't have a separate page for the ability. Radicell 08:54, 26 November 2008 (EST)

  • You're mostly right, but for this one we have more than just a name. We have info. It's likely to be revealed in a near future episode. Just hang tight. Psilaq Remake 15:34, 26 November 2008 (EST)

Unconfirmed

  • How come this ability is already an article even though we havem't even actually seen it being used. This is just like Deoxygenation in the episode The Hard Part, it was mentioned, yet we didn't even make an article for it. --NiveKJ13 12:30, 28 November 2008 (EST)
    • I believe this is different to deoxygenation - we had not (to my knowledge) met the holder of that power, whereas we have met the holder of this power. Plus, it's highly likely we will see it soon.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  12:33, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Questions!

Will this power be stopped by the eclipse and if so then why not just let out lots of bullets when he came near, or does angela want her collection back? What happens if a bullet or knife hit his skin? will the bullet ping off or will it stop or will it just break on contact with his skin? would a knife just bend or shatter?--345tom 17:17, 29 November 2008 (EST)

  • No one knows yet, we've not seen it used. Psilaq Remake 17:38, 29 November 2008 (EST)
    • As Psilaq said we haven't yet seen it on the show, but I'd say it's safe to assume it is similar to Superman's invulnerability. In the movie Superman Returns they try to inject Superman with a neele, but the needle bends against his skin. It create an indenture, but it cannot penetrate it. Likewise, when he is shot in the eye, the bullet is squashed on impact and it falls harmlessly to the ground. I imagine Samedi's power to be something like this. -- FlamingTomDude 2:57, 30 November 2008 (EST)
      • Not exactly like this, I agree with the needle example, but not the eye, his ability is impenetrable skin, unless his eye is closed, his eye would definitely be unprotected. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:18, 30 November 2008 (EST)

Ability Name Change?

Impenetrable skin does not seem to be a completely accurate description of this ability. It would not prevent breaking of bone or damage to muscles. Baron Semedi seemed to be completely uninjured after being slammed into the jeep by Nathan.

  • The Haitian clearly stated that, "His skin is impenetrable...". And in additional, in the deleted scene where Sylar killed Robert Keep, he said, "It really is impenetrable, isn't it?" and "Forgive me, I haven't been clear, I want your skin..." --NiveKJ13 12:17, 2 December 2008 (EST)

  • We have a canon source. Also, his skin is most likely impenetrable by anything INCLUDING strong concussive force. If the force can't penetrate the skin, then said force can't do anything to anything below the skin. (Does this make sense to anyone but me?) Psilaq Remake 17:09, 2 December 2008 (EST)
