Generations

So, we know that "book 2" is going to look into generations. The last few episodes have shown us that these abilities (or at least, the chance to have them) has been passed from parent to child.

We know of four family lines that demonstrate this:
1) Molly's family - one of her parents had ice powers
2) The Petrellis - The mother has some sort of "influencing" ability. Peter and Nathan have powers, and Claire has powers.
3) DL/Niki and their son Micah all have powers
4) Hiro and his father. We haven't seen exactly what Hiro's father can do, but he seems to be perfectly aware of Hiro's power.

This would lend itself to suggest that all of the characters we've seen have inherited their powers from their parents.
At the same, there are others who have powers that are unknown to the groups looking for them, which are:
1) Linderman
2) The "agency" that Claire's dad work(s)(ed) for
3) Suresh

We know Parkman, Ted and cyber-chick, did not exhibit their abilities until after they were "captured" by Claire's dad. What we don't know is:
1) Did they have the powers initially and the agency somehow triggered them?
2) Did the agency give them their powers?

Another fun thing to consider. How are Linderman and the "agency" locating these people?
Linderman may have been part of the earlier generation of heroes - so he can track some of them through family ties. We also know that Linderman is working with the Petrelli's mother.
They have created the plot to put Nathan into power. He also knows about Niki and DL, and somehow knows that their son Micah will have the power he needs to rig the election. How does he know this? We know powers are passed on from parent to child, but so far, the power inherited appears to be random. So, could it be that there's another character, like Issac, who can see the future?

More Questions

Here are a couple of more questions to ponder regarding Sylar.
1) What was his first power?
2) Did he have powers initially? I could have sworn that in the first couple of episodes Suresh's father had performed some type of test on Sylar and it was negative.
3) If question 2 was false - and he did not have powers at first, how did he get them?

answers

I am still 2 episodes behind (thank you TIVO!), but here are my answers.

1) Sylar used two powers (cold and TK) while visiting his mom, but he seemed to lose control of the TK. Could it be that concentration to use more than one is greatly increased?

2) Peter used invisible and TK in strip bar while talking to Nikki.

3) cold power was exhibited on one of Molly's parents in 1st crime scene that mind reader visited ( one body stuck to wall with cutlery, one frozen solid in chair).

That is as far as i have gone in the series, maybe i will have more after i see the other episodes.

We got Questions? Who got answers?

Here are a few of our think tank (and I use that term loosely) Heros Universe questions. Most can likely be answered by re-viewing the episodes.

Can Silar use two or more powers at once?
Can Peter use two or more powers at once?
Where did the cold power come from?
What is the nature of space time in the Hero's universe?
Who is the bigger, badder boogeyman?
What is the nature of the BBBoogymans power?


Welcome to Dan and Wes!

Howdy from Jerry

Hello interwebtubes, from me.

Our plan here is to excrete upon the world wide web all of our stupidest theories and musings as to the plot development of all of our favoirte tv shows. A noble mission to be sure, but rest easy gentle reader, in all likelihood we will lose interest fairly soon and move on to greener pastures. As it were.

peace,
