History WMG / Heroes

This explans practically ALL her changes throughout the season. Esspically her "I trust you/I distrust you" jumps with her dad.

Going with the 'Abilities make you stupid'-theory, there is actually someone with the power of being really stupid. Peter unknowingly met this person prior to or during Season One. When Arthur absorbed Peters powers, he took this one too, which explains his later actions. Peter, however, being freed by this burden, has beaten Sylar [[spoiler:and also Samuel]] with his newly functional brain.

* Volume 3 states the powers were the result of genetic engineering. Linderman and his associates injected themselves and their children. It's possible the mutation existed in nature and this may be true of those that aren't part of the Linderman group or their offspring. Monroe was held captive for years and he is likely were the experiments originated from.

He is this universe's version of [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer The First Evil]], and manipulated everything in Vol. 3, as he is much more powerful here (due to the huge amount of evil, not to mention Sylar). He just made Muray think he was his creation. Destroying the Earth seems to be his MO, and the creation of Synthetic Supers is what causes the world to end in the V3 Bad Future.

[[WMG: Las Vegas, Series/{{Heroes}}, TheXFiles, TheStand and Series/KnightRider all take place in the same or parallel universes.]]
Both KR and Heroes have a Montecito, the setting of Las Vegas. Linderman was apparently running the casino, which would fit with the Montecito's high owner turnover ratio. It's possible the Company was killing or persuading the previous owners, using people with powers, in order to get their hands on it. Also, the Shanti virus, in an alternate universe, is what kills everyone in Stephen King's ''TheStand'', except much earlier (This is supported by King himself, who said that TheStand universe was just an alternate version of ours). Possibly due to time-travel, or the Company experimenting with an early form of the virus. The Company coverups would also explain all the weird stuff that keeps happening to [[TheXFiles Mulder and Scully]], especially if you've read the "Last One Standing" fanfic.

[[WMG: Matt's son is TheMessiah.]]

...is entirely because of Samuel. He grows in power based on being surrounded by other specials, thanks to absorbing the 'magnetism' these people generate. Mohinder's use (and creation!) of the compass prove that synthetic specials generate the same magnetism. Thus, the 'everybody has a power' world would absolute saturate the atmosphere with the power. With power of that magnitude, Samuel could easily have broken Earth in half, intentionally or accidentally.

[[WMG: Nathan & Peter Petrelli are really the grown-up versions of JackAndBobby

or the use of an idiot ball. Because why else would she [[spoiler:reveal the specials to the world after trying so hard to stop it]]?

Drawing on the theories about Micah's plotting and Ando's ability, what's to say this season doesn't see the acension of all the supers to AGodAmI status? Assuming that the writers have decided to put away the Idiot Ball, it seems very plausible that Micah (who has already shown himself to be the smartest person on the show) will figure out some of those potential super-super abilities that Ando makes possible. If they can find a way to make the charges permanent, then the Heroes (because no one on the show has named our intrepid rebels) could easily push [[strike: Nathan's]] Danko's Nazis aside. This would then set up Volume 5, where the now godlike supers roam the Earth, causing mass destruction and fighting each other for supremacy. Eventually, someone will slap themselves on the forehead and realize Oh God What Have We Done? The series will end when most of the supers are then somehow killed. The world slowly decays after this, leaving Peter/Momo/whoever Tim Kring likes to sit in some cafe and remark on how hellish powers are.

** Jesting aside, this is actually a very good justification for Peter's mistakes. Almost every time he was smacked with the Idiot Ball, it was because he trusted the wrong people blindly. Just as Sylar's power carries a hunger for more knowledge, Peter's power carries a hunger for more love which makes him so easy to manipulate. Consider his last Idiot Ball moment, when his powers are taken: He knows his father is evil, and has come to stop him, but Arthur offers him a hug. Peter psychologically couldn't refuse it. His power wouldn't let him.

[[WMG: There is neither an idiot ball, nor glass skin]]
A lot of WMG's on this page seem to explain the idiot ball some of the heroes seem to carry. But what if the normal human in the heroes universe is actually this stupid. In the first episode with Parkman and Molly, the police knew there was a girl not accounted for. Yet somehow they didn't find her, even though she was in the closet closest to the entrance, with the close door being barricaded. Yet for some reason, the trained detectives can't seem to find her, even though they have been searching the house for a while now.
Another theory here mentions Claire being far too prone to damage, receiving deadly damage from situation that would normally dead non-lethal damage. But look a bit further in the series. In episode 9 Claire manages to strike a fellow cheerleader unconscious in a single blow. And while cheerleading is a good exercise for arms and legs, it is not enough to strike someone unconscious in a single blow. It's also why everyone panicked when the quarterback hit Claire while running, in the heroes setting, everyone expected to break every bone in her body.

[[WMG:Hiro's time powers ''always''' [[spoiler:gave him tumours]].]]

Ando uses his ability to amplify Sylar's "Intuitive Aptitude" ability into full blown Omniscience, And Sylar's mind, and very consciousness, will be destroyed, Rendering him a permanent Vegetable. I know Sylar is good now and everything, But what if Ando has a FaceHeelTurn sometime in the future?

Being as ThisIsReality after Clare outs people with powers Television networks clamor to produce shows about the supers lives. The most popular is an innovative Documentary that features no Confession cam the Show Heroes, which chronicles the lives of the heroes most influential in bringing the existence of Supers to the public and the disasters they averted while the world fell for the Masquerade.

[[http://boards.9thwonders.com/ 9th Wonders Boards]] came up with the Naughty Naked Sylar Theory to determine why he can shapeshift [[ShapeshifterBaggage CLOTHES]]. Since shapeshifting requires DNA sampling (ala Literature/{{Animorphs}}) and clothes don’t have DNA, he must have RequiredSecondaryPowers to mold his flesh to resemble clothing (like Venom from {{Spiderman}} or Mystique from the Comicbook/{{X-Men}})

Between his sheer, undiluted comic-book evil, all of the abilities he had absorbed, and the stress inherent in having a gun fired at his forehead, Arthur Petrelli's mind pretty much folded in on itself. No longer willing or able to take it, he channeled everything he had into his twice-over power of space-time manipulation, left behind a copy of himself a la [[Webcomic/EightBitTheater Black Belt]] to take the bullet, and departed for another world, free of any tangled webs or superpowers. In this new (to him) world, he vowed to use his immense powers to fight evil under a new identity as "[[Main/TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete Artie]]" -- ''the strongest man... in the WORLD!''

The SchmuckBait was just so obvious, Kaito is a smart guy, and he ''knows'' Hiro. Getting the formula out into the open was part of some sort of XanatosRoulette, the kind you can pull off when you're smart and you know precogs and probably have a power yourself (like you totally would have gotten if a scene hadn't been deleted in season 2, apparently).

Or rather, the ''real'' Jessica, whom Niki believed died when they were kids. Linderman faked her death and arranged for her to be raised as Tracy Strauss as part of one of his bizarre Main/XanatosRoulette games. Niki herself is quite dead; regeneration aside, massive explosions are typically non-survivable.

In "It's Coming", Hiro was in shock about some of Marvel's recent big plots: CaptainAmerica's death, {{Spider-Man}}'s unmasking in ''MarvelCivilWar'', and the mysterious "Red Hulk" character. Of the three, Spidey's was already resolved as part of the much-hated ''One More Day'', and Hiro should be griping about that story's dissolution of Spidey's marriage instead. One suspects Marvel didn't want to get more backlash from people hearing of that, and somehow pulled rank to have the writers use a slightly outdated reference. (Out of curiosity, what ''was'' Spidey's marital status eighteen years ago when Hiro was 10?)

* [[{{Batman}} Super-sanity]].

He was a founding member of The Company and the boss before Bishop and [[spoiler: Angela]]. Even though [[spoiler: he died, his spirit lived on in The Company and inspired those that filled his shoes.

Since we're already introducing Promicin this season, it would be too much if he turns into [[{{The 4400}} Jordan Collier]]. Also, Nathan is clearly still Nathan, not possessed or crazy (other than seeing dead people).

[[WMG: The formula is [[{{The4400}} Promicin]].]]
