Last night's episode was really, really good though. I can't believe there's only two episodes left.

A

Matt/Matts!Daddy, Sylar, Peter, Claire/Adam, Hiro, and Telekinesis!Guy all have powers that have "leveled up". It may simply be a matter of control, however, it really does depend on what they're controlling. For example, what causes the flight? And could better control of that mechanic lead to further abilities?

Some examples:
ElectricElle - Yeah, she can shoot bolts of lightning, but what if she could fine-tune that to the point where she can more specifically manipulate the electrons in the air? She could, theoretically, imitate Pyro/Cryo-kinesis by either speeding up or slowing them down. She could duplicate that one dude's ability to melt objects by breaking the bonds between atoms. She could do Magneto-esque things.

Telekensis - This power, when "levelled up" would be virtually identical to ElectricElle.

Regeneration - If all cells regenerate, the result would be super strength, super speed, super hearing, super eye-sight, super sensation. Super lots of things.

Super Hearing - Could be levelled up to a sort of precognition; you could hear the very muscle fibers begin to tense in someone, and know exactly what physical movement they were going to perform. You could hear the air around you move and everything else and essentially have a sort of Matrix Bullet-Time existence, where if you learned to key-in the precursors of events, you could react instantly. Not only that, but you'd probably have incredible balance and reflexes as well once you learned to identify the sounds you were hearing and what they meant.

Super-strength - Only way to really have super-strength is to have indestructible muscle fibers, and if you have that, then you'd be insanely hard to kill, given that most of your internal organs are protected by a layer of muscle. Only a few major arteries would be exposed, and your brain. Other than that, you'd essentially be able to take bullets to body and majority of the face all day long. Sure, you'd get torn up, but unless one of those few exposed arteries is struck, you aren't going to bleed to death very soon, and you aren't going to lose any strength really given your muscles and everything covered by them won't be damaged.

So yeah, while not every power has to level up, I can't think of a single power that doesn't have the potential to be turned up a few dozen notches.

"1. If Adam had found Hiro in the present during the whole Sylar-fiasco, would Adam have slain Hiro for stealing his girlfriend all those years ago? It happened in the past, so you would assume Hiro had already visited Japan during the 'Takezo Kensei' era, thus Adam knowing Hiro already. Also, if Adam had indeed killed Hiro in the present (but before Hiro travels to 1600's Japan), would Hiro not have travelled back to the past at all, resulting in Adam not having a hate for him and...Hiro remaining alive?"

In Heroes time travel doesn't work like that.

Time travel is based on the idea of threads and alternate realities. His teleportation for example is a manner of folding spacetime, not just stopping time and walking to where he wants to go.

So no, Adam did not know Hiro until Hiro time traveled and met Adam. This sort of time travel is explained in the episode 4 years later I think.

It doesn't matter anyway, cause he was locked up during that time.

Depends on how things are done. If he's viewed as the Messiah, then there's superstition backing him up. But there's also the possibility of just not advertising that its his blood, but rather some sort of synthetic blood-like substance that will destroy the virus, so there's no point in attacking him for it. Beyond that, its already been shown that he's persuasive and charismatic--something he obviously learned in the 400 years since we last saw him, given that he managed to get NightmareMan to help him, and swayed Peter, so he's likely to have a bodyguard to Heroes who he could essentially establish as the upper echelon of his new society.

And as for Peter/Hiro, there is no way Hiro an beat Peter once Peter knows Hiro is there. Peter now has the Haitian Sensation's ability to block powers, which pretty much hands the fight to Peter on a silver platter. Though, I don't think it will come down to a fight. Hiro sneaks up on him, it would be my guess, because he sees Peter with Adam. But Hiro trusts Peter, and Peter trusts Hiro, so it'll be more likely a battle of appeals than anything else. "He saved my brother!" "He killed my father!" sort of thing.

Now the only question is how much has Adam grown up in the past few hundred years? I mean, does he actually still hold the grudge? I mean, realistically, I don't know if its possible for a single intelligent person to hold a grudge like that for 400 years. Sooner or later his Princess was going to die, or he would have fallen out of love with her. And that's the problem with having a suave, intelligent villain who is ancient and holding a grudge...he should have sorted it all out years ago, especially given how much stuff he must have gone through afterwards.

Sylar is such a manipulative bastard...

Hrm...second last episode, right? Half an hour till I can start...

I really hate Sylar, I wish he died when I thought he died I was so sick in the first season where everyone had all these chances to kill him but were too nervous. *weep*

I totally agree with you. He shouldn't have survived the first season. I actually went 'Aww, come on' when they showed us that sewer grate.

It was an awesome episode! I'm sad there's only one more.

I can't remember who, but a few weeks ago, I was reading about people wanting a Hiro vs Peter battle.

Looks like the writers put that in for them.

Oh and this weeks comic is good to. Very American.
