Heroes 4.11 Thanksgiving Discussion Thread
But i still love the show its just cool.
If Peter ever does regain his original ability, empathic mimicry, make it just that; EMPATHIC mimicry.
"Empathic Mimicry" Peter (Take Two)-- He actually has to understand the person in order to acquire their powers--not saying he has to sit everybody down for a psychotherapy session or try to fix their sob story in order to gain the ability, but it should take some effort other than simply being in the vicinity of someone who has a power, and it should also be somewhat of a risk psychologically--after successfully empathizing with a villain, it might be a bit more difficult to take them down, or even worse, he could risk becoming them--ala 'The Hunger' which was actually a pretty good concept, but poorly executed and terribly wasted! And then on top of that, make it a two-sided coin: if there are characters he can no longer relate to or no longer feel any ties with, he loses the ability as a consequence. Under these rules, as of this season, Peter would no longer be able to fly for example (no, not because Nathan is technically dead, but rather because Peter has made a point of not really dealing with his brother--then again, under these rules, flight would have been rather challenging for Peter for most of Season 3 as well...but you get where I'm going with this).
"Touch-and-Absorb" Peter (proposition 1)-- Can hold a set number of abilities at a time (like say maybe 3-5), but with each ability he absorbs, he loses another; so lets say he absorbs Flight, Superstrength, and Self-Regeneration (using 3 for simplicity's sake), if he absorbs TimeTravel on top of that, he risks losing any random one of the abilities from above.
If that's too restrictive, let's say he can absorb as many abilities as he wants, but each power has a different shelf life according to how well they suit his personality or overall need (similar to how the abilities were originally implied to work). Since saving people is important to Peter, he may be able to hold a Healer ability longer than say the ability to shapeshift. Again, each power has an unstable half-life, so there are some abilities he can hold for a number of days, some he can barely keep for minutes; he never knows until he absorbs and tries...
Just thought these would be some rather interesting ways to bring Peter closer to his old self without necessarily overpowering him again.
I do agree that Heroes fans are rather hard to please on the subject of Peter's abilities, I mean, let's face it, next to Claire's ability to be an awkward mix of hot and annoying at the same time, he's got the most controversial ability on the show!
Just my ideas on fixing one of the problems in that respect.
