ACME Tech

I can't remember where the name came from ( I think an RPG ), but a somewhat common element in 'realistic' superhuman settings is objects and devices that have functions and powers beyond the norm. They are not actual technology, advanced or otherwise, however. Rather, they do something extraordinary because someone's superhuman power made it able to do so.

A common form of this is the 'mad scientist' who makes impossible devices, which may not even work for anyone but him, and even if they do, cannot be reverse engineered. This is because the creator either imbued them with functionality via his powers, or used the device as a psychological crutch for himself.

Now, as of yet, there is no evidence for 'ACME Tech' existing in the Heroes universe. However, if such does exist, well, a logical place for it to end up would be this vault, now wouldn't it. Especially if 'ACME tech' separated from its creator was prone to unpredictability. --Metaphysician 17:31, 9 October 2008 (EDT)


Playing Cards

I was just thinking that maybe these were a foreshadowing of Niki, Barbara and Tracy as triplets. Diamonds can be referred to as "ice" and the emotional connotations of Hearts might tie in with Niki. Of course this doesn't present any kind of in-universe reason for them to be there --NichS 13:42, 10 December 2008 (EST)

  • Sounds plausible. What is the third card? If it's a spade, will we be seeing Barbara's secret life as a gardener? As if it's a club, will she be a party girl? :) -- Tristan0709 talk 00:01, 14 January 2009 (EST)
  • Its a nice theory, though I still stick by my theory of they being representative of mythological/religious figures particularly, Athena.Godsend0 15:32, 16 April 2009 (EDT)

Kris

If the kris really is the Taming Sari, can we expect to see Excalibur in one of the boxes? Possibly --Godsend0 17:53, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Removals

It seems like a lot of theories are getting deleted. Any information as to why? A couple of theories I added were removed and it was too long ago to check the Recent Changes page. If someone could add a note on the Talk Page here if they know, I would appreciate it.--Godsend0 10:24, 30 April 2009 (EDT)
