Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

Suresh's is by far the most annoying !

And claire has been annoying (yet hot) since season 2 began. But Elle coming back should be interesting :D:D

I like Suresh as a baddie but he met his match with Daphne :p

well I finally caught back up to the series! lol. It's interesting having HRG and Sylar working together. Now I'm wondering what would be Sylar's weakness? Children? lol.

Sylar's 'weakness' is obvious. He just wants love. He is being shown some by Angela, and that has calmed him down. In the future, he loves his son, and that has completely turned off 'the hunger' for him.

I wouldn't consider it a weakness. As Angela said in one of the episodes 'hes just been misunderstood'. Misguided would probably be a better word.

If I had to put money on it right now, I would say Sylar saves the world this time around. What I'm not sure of is if he will live or die doing so.

That's a good theory, though I would've imagined the series (not season) concluding with Sylar and Peter in an epic fight, or perhaps since Sylar can be good again that together they take on a single threat.

Ah, but the imagery of the villain saving the world at the end of the chapter called 'Villains' would be hard to pass up. And to have him die because of his one good dead would be even greater imagery.

And yes, despite Arthur being the one that brings all the rest of them together, Sylar is still the mega badass.

I've been thinking about Adam's power.... if he cuts off his arm, it'll grow back. If he cuts off his arm, it grows back and if the Haitian walks by, his arm won't fall back off. His power is keeps him young. If he loses his power.... shouldn't he just age as normal from whatever age he is now?

Yeah but he sucked the power out of him thus his age caught up with him.

well that's what i'm trying to say

how can his age catch up to him?

if his power is keeping his body 30 years old, then he's 30 years old

if his power goes away, fine. he'll just start aging from 30 years old

Its probably from when he stopped aging which is over 400 years ago so it will just catch up time.

well that's what i'm trying to say

how can his age catch up to him?

if his power is keeping his body 30 years old, then he's 30 years old

if his power goes away, fine. he'll just start aging from 30 years old

That was the point I was making. His body doesn't know that 400 years have past because it keeps remembering that he's 30 years old. If Claire was 10 when her powers started, she should stay in the body of a 10 year old, but if her powers are taken, or if the Haitian is blocking them when she is, say, 25, then does she instantly grow breasts, have her period and grow a few inches to match the 25 year old body? Apply the idea to a baby and suddenly in an instant they go from being an infant to a grown man since their power has been blocked/removed? I say no, but the logic on Adam would apply to the two scenarios I just depicted.

To me, the "catching up to him" should also occur with Hiro if he jumps 400 years into the future. His body should know that he's 400 years older and make his body match it, or 400 years into the past, he should change into, well, nothing, to catch up.

I think it was more that his ability was constantly healing him and keeping his cells from degenerating, once his power was stripped that constant healing stopped thus causing his cells to rapidly degenerate.

Also, they explain in the comics that Adam noticed his body stopped aging at 42. That's not to say that he stopped aging at 42 but just that he noticed it when he was 42.

As for your Hiro theory, that just doesn't make any sense, like at all.

Well why not? Hiro's body should know that he's 400 years in the future and should "catch up". How is it any different with Adam? As you've stated, his body stopped aging, so by not aging his body wouldn't know whether another day, year, decade, or century has passed, which means the "catching up" wouldn't make sense (as the Hiro example wouldn't make sense). But meh, I'm now repeating myself, which I don't like to do.

His body never really stopped aging though, it was just being healed from the effects of aging. There was no catching up with Adam, he just stopped healing.

Hiro on the other hand teleports through time and while the time he is in may change his body would only notice the normal linear change it time that it is use to.

This will be my final argument so that it's not drawn out further than is necessary. From the Heroes wiki:

According to Angela Petrelli, after a certain amount of regeneration, the person stops physically aging (Cautionary Tales).

This would line up with my theory since the body cannot know that 400 years have passed. So that it doesn't appear that I'm partially quoting Heroes Wiki, this followed the above sentence, but it's crucial to note that the above is based on canon, and the below has no reference and is therefor an assumption by the wiki editor:

Also, all the cells in his body are dying then healing, effectively making him immortal.

If there is anything to backup this last sentence, then that would effectively counter my argument, but until then, I'm not swayed. :)

The Hiro analogy was to illustrate why the "catching up" reasoning shouldn't be the cause of Adam's death. I'll give it one more shot. Let's assume both Adam and Hiro are 30 years old, with Adam's case being that his body only knows that 30 years have passed, which is why his physical condition remains unchanged after 400 years. How is living 400 years any different than teleporting 400 years into the future? They're not. Again I say they are not. Both Hiro and Adam's body still retain the undeniable fact that they are still 30 years old, regardless of how much time has past or been skipped. Going back to Adam's body not aging, it does not know 400 years have past. Again, it does not know, just like Hiro's body wouldn't, so why would it catch up to something it is completely unaware of?

whats to say author didnt just steal his life as well. I see him as a rogue character, someone who steals all.

Anyway, I think something will change this season to make sylar stay evil. Thats what we really want anyway. no one wants a good sylar and peter, that would be boooring.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
