[The_Heroic_Loser]

I just read the new graphic novel issue on nbc.com and it's all about a new hero that's gonna be joining the show soon. Her name is Hana, and she looks like she's a badass. Not sure what her power is yet, but it'll probably be revealed in the next issue. She also seems to like guns.....

****, my fault for reading this spoiler I was reading the board name and saw a "New hero - hana" and since I already saw it might as well just read that post =P

Seems pretty awesome, but I hope they don't make her too overpowered, cause most shows lately are making the gunners the "superman" saving others and making the bad guy go away.

I really hope the author/whatever makes Sylar overpowered still, hes just so much like sephiroth.
I'd really love to see peter's brother (Forgot his name) in action too, he pulled off a good run-away with claire's dad and that black guy. (Sorry I dont know his name) and his face fits so much into his role play and his looks.

I hope the first half of season 2 goes slowly again

hmmm....very interesting.

I can't quite ascertain her ability given the graphic novel, either, but her intelligence analysis, strategic thinking, and physical skills will make her a formidable foe...or a useful ally.

I wonder how she'll fare against Jessica?

hmmm....her grandmother was a resistance fighter, her mother was a patriot, and both were killed by someone's suicide mission. Her psychological makeup will make her prone to manipulation; this is in addition to the standard limitations.
I still need to see her in action; once that happens, though, she can be adequately catalogued and countered.

Why do I get the feeling Mathy you are watching the show and figuring how'd you'd defeat/maime/kill every single character?

Please don't kill Matt's wife.

[Mathsorcerer]

Killing is easy. Defeating is the difficult part.

No, Matt's wife can stay exactly as she is. *innocent whistle*

The next part of Hana's saga has been released on the nbc site. Apparently, her main power (I say that cuz she looks like she might have something more) is:

SPOILER ALERT!! click this to show it -->

the ability to "see" all cyberspace. She can see things such as e-mails and text messages without having to use a computer. She can also use her ability to break encryptions.

[Ikin]

That's a cool power. But isn't it too much like Micah's?

[Mathsorcerer]

Goodness, no--Hana's ability is nothing like Micah's. Rather, her power is a type of "electronic telepathy", a very complex communication technique broadcast in the radio and microwave frequencies (the common 5.4GHz for 802.11g devices). It is conceivable that she could read RFID tags, too. I wonder if she can read floppy, hard, or CD/DVD disks?

[Sam]

At this point I think explaining the heroes in "Heroes" off as "human evolution" (the show's crutch) is kind of a cheat. I mean, come on, what type of evolution in human beings would allow them to communicate with MACHINES?? Likewise with Hiro's powers.

[Mathsorcerer]

This is exactly why I was dissatisfied with the show's explanation of powers as "genetic mutation". *yawn* We've been there and done that.

Perhaps you should check out my "Left-Hand Path" thread in Fan Fiction. I propose a different source of abilities...and will be adding to the stories there shortly.
