In about an hour and a half, I'm gonna head toward a lecture at the physics building describing the physics of superpowers. Should be interesting.


Awesome. Tell us about your findings.

To be perfectly honest, I thought Adam Monroe was far more interesting than Sylar. His arc with Hiro is awesomeness.

Err, I hope he comes back. He's better than Sylar.

And that was pretty sinister to simply lock him in a buried coffin for all eternity...

What? It's not like he doesn't have time to dig his way out.

And Sylar recovered from worse.

Anyone keep up with the Heroes wiki? Very interesting theory about Clair/Kensie's blood that I hope gets disproved.

Kinda pointless to ask that when you took the time to make such a remark. :rolleyes: :P

The reason I ask is that I have no intention of discussing the finer points of it with those who don't know the basics. Snobby and elitist as that sounds, it just wouldn't be interesting to you or myself.

Well, quite simply.

Adam regenerates.
Because his own cells regenerate, he doesn't age.
Adam's blood contains this ability to regenerate.
This blood can regenerate whomever it is injected inside of.
If this blood can regenerate itself, it'll never disipate within the subject to which it is injected.

Thusly, anyone who's recieved Adam's blood now has his regeneration ability.

This would explain how everyone related to Adam and the Company know they need to go for the head shot to kill a regenerator. (Despite the fact that they kept Adam locked up to which he said "if they could kill me then they would have" - while the company has some twisted motives, a bullet to the brain seems a trivial way to deal with a true regenerator like Adam (and as Claire showed, a head wound isn't permadeath for these true regenerators).)

The obvious flaw is obvious. As demonstrated by Claire lopping off her own toe, the regeneration is new cells forming and blood cells are not made by other blood cells - they're made by bone marrow.

Now this has been brought to the forfray of speculation given the fact that Nathan has recieved Kensie blood and has been shot. Thoughts?

I'd be seriously disappointed if this theory was true.

The blood itself may never die, but the body still produces its own blood. The old blood will likely get forced out through natural means I would wager.

Also since ability is controlled by the brain, I think the blood outside the body is only effective once, since it isn't "recharged" so to speak, afterwards.

In short, I disagree with the theory.

You'd think that wouldn't you?

But I wasn't disappointed with any of the season one deaths turning out to have survived.

Yeah, good point. Even deaths that I swore I'd be disappointed if the person lived, I wasn't disappointed in. So I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Yes, this is when the writer's strike actually affected me. Until this, I could pretty much ignore it.
