Demi Blog #1: Missing Powers

Hey everybody…

I just got finished posting a huge blog on like six different powers that weren’t present in the Heroes universe yet, but it didn’t process with the server and I lost it! I’m very upset right now, but I’ll go ahead and give you a summary of the powers I picked.

1. Super Speed

Possibly the most important power not yet shown on Heroes, Super Speed has encompassed comic books from Superman to The Flash. Will we see it soon? N.G. and I have agreed that we think one of the original Company members possess this power, although he seems to think its Peter and Nathan Petrelli’s father….which I’m not so sure of. I am sure that this power will be in included in this series. I’d bet my life savings on it…One, because my life savings is literally equal to zero, and two, because its so essential to a comic book setting.

2. Superhuman Senses (non-hearing)

We’ve seen Flight, Superhuman Strength, and Enhanced Hearing….what about the other classics? Where’s the X-Ray vision? Where’s the seeing three miles away? Also, and I know this is a stretch, what about superhuman smelling? I mean, Wolverine and Sabretooth had it…which leads me to another power…

3. Animal Mimicry

I know, I know…its a bit far-fetched…but animals are an integral part of the superhero universe. Many characters in comics have emulated the abilities or likenesses of animal i.e. Black Cat, Spiderman, Wolverine, Sabretooth, Toad, Batman, Catwoman, Penguin, etc.

4. Magnetism/Force Fields

We’ve already seen powers that have dealt with metal…Sylar can change the molecular structure of things (including metal) to cause them to melt without reaching melting point, Bob can use alchemy to change the chemical compound of things (including metal into gold)…but what about magnetism. We know how awesome Magneto is, and how helpful could it be to use an electro-magnetic force-field to protect you or your group from danger? I think we may seem some type of this sooner or later…perhaps in a new character with electric abilities *hint*. But speaking of metal what about..

5. Mechanical Prowess

I know its not really a power, but come on…its as big in comics as anything else. The ability or skills to make your own powered gear to fit your needs i.e. Batman. I know that NBC is pushing Bionic Woman down our throats but for the love of all that is holy please just drop it and put an Ironman type character in Heroes…Then you can put some of that advertising money into Heroes and Journeyman and replace Bionic Woman with some crappy mid-season show like..oh I don’t know…American Gladiator Redux (which is actually coming to NBC soon).

There you have it…I had more but I’m done writing. I leave the rest open to you guys. If you have a power that hasn’t been seen on Heroes that you think is worthy enough to be brought on the show, let us know! Leave us a voice-mail at 205-383-4781 or for you international folks (or people that just feel like doing it) send us an audio message as an attachment to thecompanypodcast@gmail.com.

Also e-mail us anytime at that e-mail address with your opinions, comments, or questions and, if they aren’t stupid, we’ll put them on the show!
