Heroes Theories

Apr 09, 2007 10:07

I have read comic books for too damned long for my own good.

Somewhere in history around the beginning of season 6 of Buffy (in a post I can not find) I wrote about the upcoming season 6:

It's gotta be Willow this year. She's just too damned strong. But something is going to drive her over the edge. Probably one of the 3 geeks will injure/kill ( Read more... )

Somehow you lost me there. It's been a while since the last episode, I'm foggy.

How would this suggest that Linderman has the ability to heal again? Leached into his patients..refresh me, which patients? Why would they get leached?

Who is Angela now?

Why do we care where Peter would meet a future wife?

It's been a while since the last episode

NBC has been doing a series of online comics to add side stories to the universe. Similar to the Animatrix. The links in the post are to the comic book story that explore the characters of "Austin" and "Dallas" who I think are supposed to be Linderman and Nathan's father in the past.

How would this suggest that Linderman has the ability to heal again?

If the perception from the photos is correct that the comic character of "Austin" is Linderman, then we now know that Linderman has healing abilities.

Leached into his patients..refresh me, which patients? Why would they get leached?
In the comic, Dallas (who we believe to be Nathan's father... thus Claire's grandfather) is "Magicly healed" by Austin (Linderman?)... One theory is that the healing power would become part of the patients healed (leached) and passed on to descendents.

Who is Angela now?Angela Petrelli is Nathan and Peter's mother. The matriarch of the Petrelli clan. She is last seen in the series berating The Hatian for ( ... )

First off,

Killer comments. See... now this is how you can flirt your way into my heart. ;)

Well ... if Linderman is Austin, that would probably explain why he's not afraid of people trying to kill him, assuming that he can heal himself as well as others. And we do already know that he and Nathan's dad go way back; they talked about that in one of the earliest episodes.

shimmeringjemmy and I talked about the 'way back.' The Austin/Dallas connection would strongly support this. It also would explain why Linderman wasn't afraid of being killed.

However, the dynamic between Linderman and the Petrelli family really doesn't seem to be family. If they were close enough that Mr. Petrelli was Linderman's lawyer (I think that's what it was) for years and years, surely the kids would have referred to him as "uncle" even if the relationship between sister and brother was rather adversarial? Given that they don't refer to him as Uncle, either he isn't, or they had some deep reason to pretend that he & Angela aren't related at all BUT stay involved in each ( ... )

Also, Nathan & Peter were clearly aware of Linderman; Peter & Angela obviously considered Nathan's involvement with him to be dangerous and stupid, although perhaps for different reasons. And don't forget that Linderman tried to have Nathan killed.

Okay.. now here's an interesting squeaker. I really need to go back and watch about 6-10 of the first episodes. We know Nathan thinks it was Linderman. I want to rescrutenize those episodes to make sure. It's very easy to make someone into an apparent guilty party in order to hide the real guilty party.

I'm not saying that Linderman is a saint... but I think there is much more involved in the Petrelli-Linderman relationship.
