Pointlessness | |
---|---|
![]() Lyle is a pointless character. | |
Originally held by: | Lyle, Caitlin, Maya, West... |
Absorbed by: | Almost everyone in Volume Two. |
Ability to: | Intensely slow down the plot of any storyline. |
Pointlessness is the ability to appear in an episode, graphic novel, scene, volume or cast and serve no defining purpose in the overall plot.
Characters
Confirmed
- Lyle Bennet seems to possess this ability naturally.
- Monica Dawson could have resisted this ability, but she ended up with it anyway.
- Caitlin may have absorped this ability from Peter Petrelli when he lost his memory.
- Maya Herrera's original power was perhaps too powerful to be frequently used in the show, therefore she unfortunately developed this ability until she was written off.
Possible
- Many speculate that Mohinder, at one time, was an adept user of this ability. He probably lost it to the Shanti virus.
- In fact, this was probably Mohinder's ability during Volume Three.
Examples
Mohinder is ashamed of his pointlessness.
Notes
- Also known as "Lyle Style."
- Just because a character doesn't have a normal ability, don't assume that they are pointless. Examples of non-pointless characters are Ando and Noah Bennet, who are non-evolved but still drive the plotline.
- Most characters with this ability do not last very long, as they are killed by Sylar (see Alejandro). However, Sylar does not seem to have taken this ability yet.
