Occasionally, haunting the TWoP boards doesn't suck.

In the spoiler boards for Heroes, there's a quote from a TV Guide article clarifying Peter's abilities.

Nathan's younger brother, a disillusioned nurse, will learn -- spoiler alert-- that he has the ability to absorb other people's powers. But beware, Kring says: "He will be tempted whether to use it for good or evil."

Ha! Knew it. :)

It certainly explains why Nathan was so sweaty. Peter was thinking so hard about flying that he was sucking away all of Nathan's strength.

I swear, that didn't sound so Petrellicesty in my head.

... what? What'd I say?

I need a Heroes icon, man. YESTERDAY.

WHOA. Maybe it's just me, but Sam Winchester much?

Um, I hate to trump but, Rogue much?

hah you are right, touche

And I'm not even the first one to notice that. I've seen at least one XMen shout out in the show. But damn, I wish someone could write something original, or at least less blatantly derivative.

Plus, his name is Peter and he's a broody New York super. I'm trying to decide if I love him for being "Let's chop up several superheroes and put them in a blender" or not.

It sounds like someone had a really good idea for a show, found out that there was some overlap, and instead of working to make it original, decided to run with it. (Transl: How much work can I get away with NOT doing and still sell this show?)

I need to get out of LA. It's made me jaded and cynical about the business of creativity.

From when I first saw the trailer, and especially the intro on the pilot, my thought was "Huh. So where's Xavier?". I suppose it's always possible that Dude's Dead Dad will turn up in a flying wheelchair at some point.

Man, and he doesn't even have the horrible untouchable skin. Rogue must be so pissed!

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

Heee. I just thought the same thing!

[mouseykins1.livejournal.com]

Ooh, interesting! It would be cool to see what would happen if he ever meets Isaac again through Simone.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

He did in that first episode, remember? I figure that's why he drew that prophetic picture in the second episode.

Finally some clarification! I've been thinking emphatic rogue since seeing his interview with Kristen on Eonline! HAA!

[kkglinka.livejournal.com]

*gives herself a high-five* Rogue. What? It's nice to have the confirmation.

Interesting about Peter! I'm tempted to wax poetic with some Meta, too, what with him being a nurse and all.

Icon-wise,I just remembered the NBC Heroes site promised some downloads so mebbe they came through with iconage!! :::runs to to check:::

[l-vera01.livejournal.com]

Dude. Your icon is just too cute! :)

[sweill.livejournal.com]

I likee yours too! =]

I love Hiro. If I were a Japanese guy, I'd be him.

[penyn-1600.livejournal.com]

I wonder if his powers work more like Rogue's? I mean, will he also absorb things from normal people?

[palmetto.livejournal.com]

I wonder if he's not doing that already. That is, that his empathy is tied into his absorbtion of others' power. For instance, he was able to know that Simone's father wanted the stock reports read to him, despite the man not being able to speak. And maybe what makes him such a good hospice nurse is that he draws some of the pain and fear from his patients--it makes them feel better, and makes him understand them in a way that others might not.

[penyn-1600.livejournal.com]

Hmm...that's true. That's actually a pretty cool superpower.

re: Icon

[seferin.livejournal.com]

Want me to get you a base of something?

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Wow. A spoiler that doesn't actually spoil me! The TWoP boards have been speculating that that was what was really going on since this weekend. Nice to know that it's been confirmed. :-)
