Heroes Volume 4 : Fugitives


Recommended Posts

1 episode left till the finale!

Last nights episode was great! I knew their mother had to of had some sort of power, just couldn't figure out what

Angela has precognitive dreaming, Sister Alice has Weather Control, Father has Shockwave Emission and the Mother well she didn't use any in the show so we don't know.

the episode itself was not bad. It was a good glimpse of the past and why the company was formed. The thing that I thought was horrible was the dialogue. Too many spilling emotions back and forth. Every scene was like, cry on my shoulder some one! Re-watch the claire talking to both her dads part in the shed. It was just so horribly shot. She walks up, starts spilling this person stuff, and then you see hrg and nathan move at the same time, take up poses.... just seemed too staged.

I don't see how you could come to that conclusion. There are multiple eclipses every year.

The show emphasized on the eclipses in the third volume as power sources, but we've seen powers manifest without the existence of one at the particular time.

The Eclipse was never a source of everyones powers, it just happened that there was one to activate the powers of these heroes. Each one affects people differently I believe

I beg to differ. One of the crux's of volume 3 was the eclipse's ability to give and take away powers, one of the sloppiest things the show did to screw itself up. Several sources have been pegged for powers so far.

Name one instance in which you can say, with 100% certainty, that a person manifested a power without there being an eclipse. Other then the formula of course which was an "unnatural" method. Just because you haven't seen the eclipse take place doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

I thought 2 more episodes were left?

Anyways, I think they are building it in a nice way for the season finale. I can't wait!

How is it a cop out? Just 'cause you try and see flaws in everything doesn't mean there are actually flaws in everything. Hell, they even made the point in the first episode with baby Parkman that his power first started to manifest after the last eclipse.

It's a cop out because it's so easy to say, "Because you didn't see X, doesn't mean Y." It's like waving a magical wand and things are magically different or make sense.

Before the eclipse, Claire attempted to kill herself six times, Nikki was tearing bodies to shreds, Hiro was causing hickups in time, Isaac was painting the future, and Peter was absorbing powers. All these things happened before they showed the first eclipse in the season one. Knox first showed his power with no sign of an eclipse. I'm sure there are more examples in the comics of this. Eden is one example, when she told her mom to die. A full, bright moon that night can be seen through the kitchen window, no indication of an eclipse.

Can't you just acknowledge the inconsistencies in the eclipses and powers? Evolution being the source is what the show originally started with, and it should have stuck with that because it made sense. I should've known mentioning the eclipse would have ruffled some feathers, heaven forbid I want this show to make some kind of sense in one of its most dynamic elements.

The source of the powers still a result of evolution though, there has been a clear definition that there is a DNA source of powers. The real question is what does the eclipse do? I could be something as simple as it causes the powers to manifest or, more likely, it just alters the potency of the powers. This has yet to be explained in the show, nor have they really even tried to. All they have really said is that the eclipses have a significant effect on those who have the genetic makeup for abilities. Just because something is unexplained does not mean it is inconsistent.

I have always thought that the powers are due to Evolution (DNA based) and always has been. However I dont think the Eclipse is "giving" people powers suddenly, negating the evolution cause. I think for some reason the Eclipse had some sort of effect on humans that either sped up the development of their abilities and brought them out earlier than normal, and for some reason temporarily took away peoples powers until the eclipse was gone.

I think its sort of like when theres a full moon out, people start to behave differently and act differently on full moons, I forget but theres some sorta saying that goes with a full moon. Something along those lines.

I really dont think the eclipse is directly related to "giving people" powers. I just think its a side event that has an effect.

Again i think you jumped to conclusions too fast with that issue. Never once did I think the eclipse was the reasoning behind powers but an indirect cause or relation to powers. Again I never heard them mention anything about the eclipse being the source of powers.

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
