Removed blog link

Guys, I removed the link for "Claire, That's Disgusting": A Heroes blog that got its name from a now-famous quote from Sylar to Claire", as I think it's mainly there for self - advertising, and I can't see any reason for it to be there. If you revert it back, that's fine as I'm not sure there isn't a reason why it's there.--IotV 17.42, 6 January 2009 (GMT)

  • I agree with you I dont think it has any reason for being there --laughingdevilboy 12:47, 6 January 2009 (EST)

Brody as a significant other

Can we really call Brody her former "significant other"? I mean, he's not so much her former "significant other" as her attempted rapist... --Golden Monkey 19:20, 26 January 2009 (EST)

Continuity

Anyone else thinks that the whole Claire meets Anna and Red Eye needs some closure? Just like Adam's 11th wife and Caitlin's fate, they just left that hanging. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:19, 8 February 2009 (EST)

  • I don't think anything really happened there, she was out shopping, fought off a few guys, told Anna she was lucky to have Red Eye and left without getting too involved. After all she is having her own problems right around now.--Steelymcbeam 12:20, 8 February 2009 (EST)
    • I don't think so, I just hope they don't end up like Gael and Bianca, who appeared two seconds in the show just to be killed off. I hope they appear fighting off HLS agents. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:25, 8 February 2009 (EST)

No I think it's hilarious the build-up that goes into a character, for a 2 second death. It's hysterical.--Steelymcbeam 12:28, 8 February 2009 (EST)

  • Well, I think it's a waste, both of them were well developed characters in the novels, they could have made a transition to the show easily. That's the thing I don't like about the GNs, they make good characters and just kill them off, either in the GN or in the show. How many interesting characters died in the end of the Evs Dropper arc? They didn't need to kill everyone. The German also had what? Five lines on the show before Knox punched him through the gut? If the writers don't want the characters to stay, just stop making good characters and stick to the ones they've got. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:35, 8 February 2009 (EST)

I don't agree with that, I think they definitely should keep making GN characters. They have their own story arc but yeah you're right, the writers should find new ways to implement them into the show. Just for clarification was Adam a GN character first or was that after his first episode?--Steelymcbeam 12:38, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Right thanks, so still no proof of a successful transition.--Steelymcbeam 12:42, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Pain

I'm re watching volume 3 on Netflicks, and I'm on the episode where Claire and Elle travel to Pinehearst so they can get help controlling their abilities. Claire was upset because, ever since Sylar attacked her, she can no longer feel pain and was afraid shed eventually not be able to feel anything at all. Do any of you remember if she ever solved that problem, can she feel pain again?--Cairoi 21:40, 8 February 2009 (EST)

I kind of doubt it. Nothing has really changed with her physically since then. And I believe Sylar said it was something to do with her nerve endings... Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 21:56, 8 February 2009 (EST)
She felt pain during the eclipse, and appreciated it. I don't think it's been mentioned since the eclipse. - Josh (talk/contribs) 22:47, 8 February 2009 (EST)
Check out the latest Behind the Eclipse. Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite said she didn't regain the ability to feel pain, though "in retrospect, she maybe should have." Still no pain, I guess. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:34, 9 February 2009 (EST)

Worst day ever!

Looking back I noticed a series of terrible events that all happen during the same day. First Claire broke things off with her boyfriend, then her apparently dead father comes home only to tell her that he is leaving again, soon after she sees her birth father get shot on the news, then Peter turns her down when she calls and asks if she can use her blood to help, finally she perused by Sylar in her own home, ultimately having her head sliced open and brain violated. To top it all off this results in her not being able to feel pain anymore. Poor kid, how does she handle it :/ --Cairoi 22:04, 8 February 2009 (EST)

  • Maybe her feelings heal, too. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:41, 8 February 2009 (EST)
  • I still think Jack Bauer has worse days. -Whizzles 10:22, 4 March 2009 (EST)

Weaknesses.

So far throughout the whole 3 seasons, I wanted to know everyone's weakness, because it was the only way for me to figure out if some characters would die or not. So far, the weaknesses leading to possible death I've witnessed of Claire are:

She can drown, Her head can be cut off, She obviously cannot go into outer space, She can suffocate, She cannot heal if there is something in her skull, She can be shot in the head, She cannot heal internally (?), She can get shot in the heart.

Isn't that sad? She has so many weaknesses rendering her pretty weak, especially since she has no combat skills (that we know of right now) Claire might and can be easily killed.

  • Those weaknesses can be applied to every character. Except Sylar.--Altes 10:02, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
    • She can heal internally, if makes no sense for that not to happen, and Sylar is as much vulnerable to the other weaknesses as she is. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 13:51, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
      • I honestly think she can't die. Sylar says he couldn't kill her even if he wanted to. And then in I am become death he goes nuclear. Claire was a few feet away, it would have completely incinerated her, but she was still able to regenerate. --Gamerelite1 20:41, 22 March 2009
        • I think that in Meredith's little training session, Meredith mentioned something about "not needing to breath, but since she has relied on it for 15 years, she goes into panic mode and thinks she need oxygen"...was i the only person who saw this or did i remember it wrong?--Anthony Gooch 16:08, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
          • She did say something like that but she does need to breathe, adam died in the coffin several times but kept coming back to life. Also, Claire can't be killed by being shot in the head, only in the back of the head (or full on shotgun anywhere on head :() She will also heal if shot in the heart, where did you get the last two ideas from?
            • I have re-watched that episode and she dosent die because of lung regeneration (A Brave New world) she said its like water-boarding her body thinks it needs oxygen but claire's actually dosent

Please...

Tell me it's a joke. "Defensive Player of the Year" - that's a horrible nickname! It doesn't even sound like one! Why do you keep it in Claire's page?

  • I agree, this was Claire's joke she uttered to distract Flint and Knox. Claude called Peter an empath, yet it wasn't added to the list of his nicknames. Also, DPotY sounds disgusting. --Altes 10:43, 31 March 2009 (EDT)

Claire and drunkenness

Claire was not drunk. She faked it. She didn't act drunk until the guy said something to her so she pretended to be drunk so he wouldn't be suspisious. It was quite obvious.--WarGrowlmon18 08:58, 31 March 2009 (EDT)

  • oh my gosh your so smart to have noticed this i mean i really wouldn't have! Crazytom112 15:57, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
    • Uh drop the sarcasam. I put down the page that Claire was unable to get drunk due to her power and someone removed it and I think said something about she was though she recovered quickly or something like that in the summary. I posted this in response to that. I think they missed she was faking it.--WarGrowlmon18 16:07, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

RCR vs. parasites

Just a thought: if Claire happened to have, umm, dunno, worms or lice, her ability wouldn't help much to get rid of them. Huh?))) --Altes 08:43, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

  • Worms...I think her ability could fix those as they are internal, but I would think when it comes to lice I think she could contract them. I wonder, can Claire Bennet get pimples? lol--Anthony Gooch 16:14, 18 May 2009 (EDT)
  • lol, I think every teenage girl is jealous of Claire now because she can't get pimples. Acne is caused by skin pores getting infected and clogged, and Claire's ability prevents her from getting infected by bacteria and viruses (remember in The Eclipse: Part 2 when Claire lost her ability due to the eclipse and she died from sever infection from the gunshot wound? The eclipse ended and her ability returned and killed all of the bacteria that had originally killed her). Any bacteria that gets in her pores that would normally cause acne gets destroyed immediately. Lucky girl.

Baby Claires

Company Man and Our Father both feature babies playing Claire. Should we try to find out the identities of the babies or is doing that too small a thing to fuss with at this point? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:49, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

  • Yes, we should try to find out. I've put out various emails for about a year now, and nobody seems to know their names. Likewise, there is another set of twins (they're actually girls) who portray Matt Parkman, Jr. but likewise, nobody knows their names. :( -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:04, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

Brody

I think brody should be added as a boy frend i mean he was one even though he raped he

  • I don't. They never dated, Claire had a crush on him. They were never an item. Before they even started dating, he tried to rape her. That's hardly a boyfriend or even significant other. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:41, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
    • Yeah, you're right. I read the above sentence here and just for a moment, I took a kiss and a few moments together as a date. A moment of thought's mistake :) --Janrodrigo 13:01, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Not Feeling Pain

I think that the reason Claire and Elle were having problems with there powers was because Sylar had sliced their heads open. He started cutting Elles and she lost control of he power and the same happened with Claire. Maybe its a defense mechanism.--Connorbb (Connor ROCKS !!!!) 15:23, 18 May 2009 (EDT)

  • Elle didn't get to have her head sliced open, Sylar only began to do it before she knocked him out, Claire not feeling pain makes perfect sense as a development of her ability. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:17, 18 May 2009 (EDT)
  • Sylar also attempted to open Peter's head, but Peter didn't lose control over his powers. And Ted didn't explode when Sylar killed him. And Angela is okay although both Peter and Sylar attempted to open her head. AltesUTC CH

New picture?

I think its time for new pictures for her and most of the cast. They look different this season.--Cairoi 10:15, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

  • I think the character portraits we have look great, and I don't think we need to change them. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:15, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
    • They are nice, but Peter has long hair now, Claire's is shorter, and some of the other side characters look different as well. I guess it's not that big of a deal though.--Cairoi 13:05, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Claire's birthdate

She is born on 8th August. This can be seen in her profile when she found out Gretchen has been "stalking" her (the computer). --JLYK

ugh

"Haven't you heard? I'm the defensive player of the year." That is such a bad quote. It made me cringe when I first watched it. Could we remove it and update the section with some new quotes from this season?--Cairoi 14:49, 4 November 2009 (EST)

  • Sounds like someone is jealous that they aren't defensive player of the year.Gamerelite1 13:35, 12 November 2009 (EST)
    • Haha that actually made me laugh out loud. :) lol--Cairoi 15:52, 12 November 2009 (EST)

Gretchen

Shouldn't Gretchen be added as a significant other? They are very close.--PJDEP 14:34, 1 December 2009 (EST)

  • Friends, probably. But I doubt that they're going to be lovers (at least, not both ways.). And if Tim Kring ends up actually making them lovers, I swear, I will give him a piece of my mind. Just as people don't have a choice in regards to what skin color they have, what eye color they have, what medical conditions they might be born with, or who their parents are, people also cannot choose their sexual orientation. Genetics is never ones choice, and Sexual Orientation is part of genetics. I was born straight, so I cannot choose to be gay or bisexual, it's impossible. Actually, the only real choice that people have in regards to sexual orientation is whether they act on their lusts/attractions or not. Claire Bennet has never shown attraction to the same sex at all prior to Redemption, and considering how she was on the Cheerleading squad, that says quite a lot, if you ask me. If she has shown any attraction to people, it was to males. I really wish the rumors would just stop. Pokeria1 08:19, 26 January 2010 (EST)
  • lol your theory about genetics :p fail :p -- (WaterRatj) 21:35, 29 January 2010 (EST)
  • First off, it's not a theory. Look, bisexuality involves having crushes on both genders developing and occurring at the exact same time. When someone is straight, they cannot just change their tastes. The same goes for being gay. Even IF I desired to be gay, I definitely would never be able to try and change my orientation. If I'm not capable of doing that, neither can others, hence why it's down to the genetic level. Besides, the way people react to the gender that they are attracted to are through organs known as pheromone receptors, which are organs that are made up of tissues and cells, and DNA is in essence what covers it. As I said, the only REAL choice that we have in regards to sexual orientations is whether we act on our lusts/attractions/crushes/instinct to breed or not. Pokeria1 22:55, 29 January 2010 (EST)
  • I have had some friends who started out being straight and after several straight relationships, realized that they were bisexual or gay/lesbian. Claire has told Gretchen that she hasn't had any real relationships, so perhaps she's really bisexual or lesbian and just hasn't realized it yet. I think, while neither Claire nor Gretchen have openly admitted it, the last few episodes have show that Claire is bisexual and is starting to have sexual feelings for Gretchen. Claire says "And I wanna be more like that and not be holding to any label or definition of who I'm supposed to be... I just... I wanna hold your hand." (Episode: Pass/Fail) After that point, Claire and Gretchen hold hands repeatedly and hint at being a couple, but they haven't explicitly said they are together. I think that in the next episode or two, Claire will come out and fully admit her feelings for Gretchen. Also, I just noticed that the Heroes Wiki pages for Claire and Gretchen say they are each others significant others. --lightmaster 00:01, 30 January 2010 (EST)
  • This is a heroes wiki, but still want to say it a bit rubbish to say you are what you are when your born. you don't have experience then. You can be straight and never thinking of being gay or bisexsual and many many years later find out you have feelings for the same gender. So dont tell me that its genetic and can't change in course of life. It's simple silly to say so. Love isn't only have to do with pheromones and chemical reaction and stuff, i agree they affect love to but its not 100% the reason -- (WaterRatj) 11:55, 30 January 2010 (EST)
So... holding hands implies that she has sexual interest in Gretchen? I held my parents hands all the time, and I never had any attraction to them even once. Also, I know of a lesbian user on IMDb who stated that her first sexual attraction was towards Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and that was back when she was three. And BTW, if that was the case, my parents as well as any other members of my family would have gone that same route. You can't just start out being straight then turn towards homosexuality. That's just impossible. That's like turning from a caucasian into an african american in terms of appearance. It's just not naturally possible. And, yes, pheronomes do indeed dictate what love is about. I learned this in my science classes, and in "Max Keeble's Big Move," they explicitly referred to pheronomes as "Nature's Dating Service." And as for her not having any real relationships, then what was her dating West all about?! Pokeria1 13:01, 30 January 2010 (EST)
  • first off all i wasn't saying anything about Claire and gretchen, I was responding to you. And yes its possible and its happens very frequent! Don't compare sexuality with race. Anyway, its possible if you wanne believe it or not. You think everything you learn at class is 100% the way life works? Don't think so. Sexuality is not defined at birth. Only the gender -- (WaterRatj) 13:13, 30 January 2010 (EST)
    • Look, personal choice is fickle, so if you honestly think that sexuality is a matter of personal choice, then I'd be changing sexualities by the hour nonstop. Heck, knowing how fickle humanity is, I'd argue that they'd be doing the very same thing nonstop. Sorry for the confusion on the first part of my previous post, though, that was more directed at Lightmaster. And anyways, I've been drawing girls since I was twelve, and had three crushes, as well as overall attractions to girls, and I've even been completely repulsed at the mere thought of whether guys and guys do it. Granted, I'm also repulsed at the idea of sex as a whole, especially that outside of marriage, but sodomy/lesbian sex is basically even more disgusting to me than male/female. I would have been gay or bisexual a long time ago if I truly was those things, but I'm not. I'm straight and borderline asexual. And if what I learned in class is truly not 100% the way life works, then we should just annihilate the education system, period, since if it's not 100%, then it is not going to work, plain and simple. Pokeria1 13:24, 30 January 2010 (EST)
      • I'm not saying anything personal to you, cause i don't dislike you are anything, but just, their more cases then only you. If your sure your not attracted to anyone of your gender, then that your choice :D No one blames you. Everyone has to follow his own feelings. Everyone also have its own arguments and things they will never do or even can think about it. Its their right. But don't drag the whole human race over the same line :D Thier are people who can change their sexuality when they discover their self. But just don't say its immpossible, cause i know alot of people who can confirm that. So Lets drop it here. We are all different and thats the way it should be -- (WaterRatj) 13:28, 30 January 2010 (EST)
  • Claire and Gretchen don't have a relationship. It's just two dorky college girls hyped up on caffiene and being chased by three different serial killers.--Boycool42 07:42, 24 February 2010 (EST)
    • I'm going to advise that you be less aggressive than you are, lest you incur the wrath of a lot of people. It is quite clear at this point that Claire and Gretchen are in a relationship. --Ricard Desi 09:54, 24 February 2010 (EST)
      • Oh yeah, Claire just turned homosexual after four volumes.--Boycool42 16:37, 24 February 2010 (EST)
        • She didn't "turn" anything. It is well within the realm of reason that she had never explored that particular side before. The way this series is right now, Claire is bisexual. --Ricard Desi 17:07, 24 February 2010 (EST)
          • Like it or not, Claire's sexual discovery is not uncommon. Sexual orientation is not set in stone, especially in young adults. And I agree with Ricard, your comments can be quite aggressive, confrontational, and sometimes downright rude, Boycool42. Please watch your tone. Thank you. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:00, 24 February 2010 (EST)
            • Why are we calling it sexual when they haven't had sex?--Boycool42 07:32, 25 February 2010 (EST)
              • Sexuality and sexual orientation are not defined by sex. They are an indication of preference (when there is one) or sexual interest, or merely attraction. A person can be homosexual or heterosexual without ever having had sex. --Ricard Desi 10:52, 25 February 2010 (EST)
                • And on that note, if the had to have had sex before being homosexual or heterosexual, then that would mean Claire would not be straight, since she admitted to Gretchen that she was a virgin. --mc_hammark 11:30, 25 February 2010 (EST)
                  • You people are vicious lol--Boycool42 15:44, 26 February 2010 (EST)
                    • We're like vultures, we'll strip the show of any meat it has so we can feed the wiki. :) --mc_hammark 15:46, 26 February 2010 (EST)
                      • Definitely.--Boycool42 19:07, 26 February 2010 (EST)
                        • Well this really sparked up a debate but to be honest i do not care about Claire's sexual preferences biological or otherwise, just keep it away from the main story line. --Melkor111 11:52, 14 March 2010 (EDT)

Future Claire had Trevor's ability

It looks like it a little, doesn't it? AltesUTC CH 06:27, 5 December 2009 (EST)

lol you forgot the part where, peter got her gun :p, ust noticed it this so many months later your comment -- (WaterRatj) 21:34, 29 January 2010 (EST)

It's been 4 seasons...

Can we PLEASE get brown-haired Claire in the present timeline, please?--Gibbeynator 16:43, 12 January 2010 (EST)

  • thats actually a good point, when will we get a brown haired Claire?. --Melkor111 11:44, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
    • I think it's just one of those things they used to distinguish between the present and future character, like Peter's scar, HRG's wirerims, etc. We probably will never see it. Probably the only one we will see will be Matt's gray hair :)--Boycool42 13:50, 14 March 2010 (EDT)

Image

I dont want to start a poll or something (like with Sylar), but isn't this picture a little bit better?--Trizzy 15:25, 12 February 2010 (EST)

  • I'd say so. A straight on profile. --mc_hammark 15:30, 12 February 2010 (EST)
    • I think we should change it after one or two more users agree.--Trizzy 15:31, 12 February 2010 (EST)
      • So, does anybody agree?--Trizzy 15:51, 12 February 2010 (EST)
        • I don't have a problem with either image (the proposed change one or the current one), but I would not suggest doing something that major without getting most of the communities opinions first (eg - poll). Just my opinion though. --Stevehim 15:56, 12 February 2010 (EST)
          • Well, I sort of agree but I dont really think it's a major change of picture, the only difference is that in the other picture she looks straight in the camera. --Trizzy 15:59, 12 February 2010 (EST)
            • Yes, the other image is better.-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 16:17, 12 February 2010 (EST)
              • I'd prefer this one.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 16:49, 12 February 2010 (EST)
                • "This" being the one we've got? or the one we're discussing? --mc_hammark 16:52, 12 February 2010 (EST)
                  • Sorry, should have clarified, the new one suggested. But I don't care if it does change or not. But if it is going to, then the new one.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 17:01, 12 February 2010 (EST)
                    • So are we ready for the change? Nobody seems to disagree and I dont think anybody will.-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 18:28, 12 February 2010 (EST)

MacGuffin

Does anyone else think Claire is just a MacGuffin for all the other characters?--Boycool42 17:43, 22 February 2010 (EST)

  • Yes. Save the cheerleader, save the world. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:17, 22 February 2010 (EST)
    • I'm not alone.--Boycool42 15:42, 23 February 2010 (EST)
      • In Generations, she was a MacGuffin for her miracle blood. In Villains, she was some weird damsel in distress that saves herself. Past that, she hasn't really contributed to the plot...at all.--Boycool42 15:56, 27 February 2010 (EST)

Is Anyone Else Really tired of Claire

I mean not just because shes a whiny teenager but because of how ungrateful she is oh look at her supposed problems, she dosent want to be an immortal healer, who cant get hurt, feel pain, or die she wants to be normal, without a super-powered family and the best ability ever I mean come on. Melkor111

  • I'm not tired of her at all. I think Hayden Panettiere gives her richness and depth, and I really identify with many of her storylines. In fact, I would say that Claire is the heart of Heroes. Oftentimes, she is the audience's connection to the rest of the characters. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:23, 8 March 2010 (EST)
    • Well I suppose your Kinda right, I guess its that I don't connect with whiney Claire Im more like Sylar not the killing part just the personality... Maybe Melkor111
  • I'm with Melkor on this one. She whines constantly and has this over-inflated sense of self-righteousness. She talks so much about how she just wants to be "normal", but she doesn't realize that her power would be easy to hide if she didn't constantly toss herself out windows. I felt that she made her relationship with Gretchen much more complicated then it needed to be, deciding whether you're attracted to a member of the opposite sex is difficult, but I didn't see that as her main issue.--PJDEP - Talk - Polls and Opinions 17:55, 8 March 2010 (EST)
  • She needs to die. Period.--Boycool42 19:44, 8 March 2010 (EST)
  • I wouldn't say she's whiny, but I also am starting to get tired of her. For example, understandable as they are (at times), her "opinion swings" can get on my nerves (two examples: her relationship with Noah (I love you, dad -- I hate you -- I love you, dad -- I hate you etc.) and her attitude towards being special (I want to be normal -- OK, I can't live a normal life, let's be special -- No, I want to be normal -- I don't want to be normal, I want to be a hero)).
    Also, I *think* she's somewhat overused. --DrIstvaan 02:31, 9 March 2010 (EST)
    • She almost let New York explode because of her feelings. Blow his @#*!ing brains out! Claire, you idiot. --BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 07:43, 27 March 2010 (EDT)

Aliases

When did she use these aliases: Vivian Lewis, Bonnie Monaco, and Jane Doe?--Boycool42 15:47, 21 March 2010 (EDT)

  • Jane Doe was when she was killed by Brody on the operating table. Vivian Lewis was the name when she was going to France with René, and Bonnie Monaco is the name she used when she went back in time to meet herself as a baby to stop the catalyst from being put in her. --mc_hammark 15:54, 21 March 2010 (EDT)
    • Jane Doe is a placeholder name, not an alias. She never used Vivian Lewis. It was assigned to her and she ran away to New York. Why do we have them on there?--Boycool42 15:55, 21 March 2010 (EDT)
      • Not sure for the Jane Doe, but for Vivian she did use it. She used the tickets/passports to get through the security gates, using Vivian as an alias. --mc_hammark 16:04, 21 March 2010 (EDT)
        • So, can we get rid of Jane Doe?--Boycool42 16:05, 21 March 2010 (EDT)
          • I don't think so. The medical examiner called her Jane Doe. It's like with Noah. In "Jump, Push, Fall" the bank worker calls him Danko. Noah never said his name was Danko but we list that as an alias. It's the same here. Besides, it's not really causing any harm. --mc_hammark 16:10, 21 March 2010 (EDT)
          • I agree with Boycool. Jane Doe was used as a place holder, not an alias.--PJDEP - Talk - Polls and Opinions 22:55, 21 March 2010 (EDT)

Guess they couldn't save the cheerleader...

Looks like Claire bit the dust on June 13th. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/13/heroes-reborn-nbc Obviously we'll wait until we have confirmation in show to add this to her page, but I'm a little sad that this happened. Though I imagine being caught in a catastrophic event like the Odessa attack would probably blow her to bits, beyond regenerative capabilities, so it makes sense. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 19:39, 8 September 2015 (EDT)

  • I'm not sad about it. I loved Claire's character, but it's not good to have an immortal character around. Do we ever really fear their demise? Are there really any stakes for that character? Maybe partially, but not fully. As much as I love Claire and as awesome an actress I think Hayden Panettiere is, I think this is a good creative move. (Also, are we sure she was killed on June 13, or just "a year prior"?) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:09, 8 September 2015 (EDT)
    • Pretty sure she was killed in the Odessa attack depicted in the Dark Matters webisodes, judging from this teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjsnE-YDbc4 And while I do agree in that it's a good creative move, I feel like, it's a bit of a copout considering that she's basically the entire reason (in the context of the storyline) that Heroes Reborn exists. Everything in this new Reborn timeline is because of her, and in my eyes, that elevated her to the same level as Peter or Sylar in my eyes. I get that they couldn't get Hayden back but still, I feel like her character deserved a more proper sendoff. Maybe it's also the fact that they've revealed that she's dead before Reborn even aired. I would have been fine if she died, but only if we found that out in the actual show. Finding it out through teasers and interviews... I feel doesn't really do her justice. ONE LAST THING, since I'm such a stickler for details like this, I just don't get how she died. I assumed that her body was just blown to bits beyond regenerative capabilities, but that teaser clearly shows that her body is still relatively intact. Who knows, maybe under that sheet she's decapitated, but just looking at the way her body looks under the sheet, I highly doubt it. From a continuity perspective, I really don't get how she managed to die. Maybe they'll explain it like, an evo used a power that killed her past the point of regeneration or something, like a specifically permadeath type ability, but I don't know. If they can explain it effectively while at the same time sending off Claire in the show properly, I'll be more okay with everything. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 04:50, 21 September 2015 (EDT)

She's not dead. Well, we don't know that yet, but they've established their out already by establishing Phoebe as a power-blocker. --Gibbeynator (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2015 (EDT)

Claire Audio in the premiere

Do we know who is credited with the audio clip of Claire? --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 10/5/2015 16:36 (EST)

  • Not positive. It sounds a lot like Hayden, so it might be archival audio. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:56, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

Claire's Babies

I'm calling this before the end. Her babies are Malina and Tommy--Iheartheroes (Talk | contribs) 20:29 29 October 2015 (EDT)

  • Looks like you made the right call. :) Just please remember to add your signature. I've added it now according to the history.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:01, 7 November 2015 (EST)

Temporarily dead

In Heroes, Hiro was able to get his ability back, by Matt Parkman Junior touching him; if someone of the same ability were to touch Clare, then she will be able to come back to life.--Masterofgravity (talk) 10:04, 7 November 2015 (EST)

Maybe, but there's also the possibility that while Tommy can only hold onto one power at a time, the power goes back to the person when he gets another one. So Claire got her power back and revived after Tommy absorbed Hiro's power, and Hiro will get his power back if Tommy absorbs someone else's power. Sandubadear (talk) 12:12, 7 November 2015 (EST)
    • I don't think it's possible. Future Peter (exposed one) died because Haitian blocked his healing ability. Since Haitian did not stay with him all the time, his power would kick in and he would come back to life. But he died for good when his power was blocked (Not like that spot behind the neck thing, but actually blocked, negated, like it was never there) --Sekobro (talk) 19:15, 7 November 2015 (EST)
      • In addition to it being an alternate timeline, I think Peter's version of the ability worked differently than Claire's... I think Peter needed to remember his connection to Claire for the ability to kick in. It may also matter as to whether her body and more so, her brain, survives long enough for her ability to be given back, though with time travel as a possibility that may not be an issue.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:35, 7 November 2015 (EST)
        • Peter used DL's phasing but they had no connection. And after Peter lost his memory in season 2, he was still able to use his abilities without even remembering their source. And brain starts dying right after death(like 15 minutes), but in season 1 Claire get back to life after an autopsy which is like hours later. Or Peter came back to life after Sylar killed him (without remembering a connection, since he was dead). The powers work the same but if Haitian or Phoebe is there, it's like you never had them.--Sekobro (talk) 15:50, 8 November 2015 (EST)
          • I think the connection with DL was with his wanting to escape, and that's how he was able to use the ability without knowing DL... whenever he got that feeling of being held captive, he was able to phase. What I recall about Claire's ability and Peter is that Peter said he needed to recall how he felt about her to access her ability. And when Peter came back to life after Sylar got him, Claire was there so I guess that's the connection in that instance. And it's not just being there, I recall power negation not always being absolute and that it can be turned off by the user.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:31, 8 November 2015 (EST)
