Simple Living Isn’t Always

Now that Heroes season 1a is done, a catchup seems appropriate to me. Even more, I thought I’d take a stab at giving our heroes (and villains) names. I’m sure it’s somewhere else on the Web too, but I’ll take my turn and then look around. But before that, let me warn away those who don’t want to know.

…SPOILER ALERT…

I’ll admit upfront that some of these are lame, but hey, sue me. Some of them seemed inspired in the middle of the night. And anyway, I’m still a comics junkie from way back.

Claire Bennett, the Cheerleader. Power: ability to regenerate, even from death (Compare Marvel’s Wolverine). Name: Regenera? Phoenix?
Peter Petrelli. Power: uses the powers of other heroes nearby (compare Marvel’s Rogue). Name: Sponge? Mimic?
Hiro Nakamura. Power: bends time and space. Name: Warp?
the Haitian. Power: negates other powers, eliminates memories. Name: The Void?
Eden. Power: Hyper-suggestion. Name: Not important now…
Isaac Mendez. Power: Paints the future. Name: Prophet? Seer?
Nathan Petrelli. Power: Flying and jerkish behavior (compare Marvel’s Angel/Archangel). Name: Blank on this one.
D.L. Sanders Power: Becomes intangible. Name: Ghost?
Niki/Jessica Sanders. Power: Arguably Jessica’s, super-strength and general psychosis. Name: Doppelganger?
Micah Sanders. Power: Technical understanding/heals machines. Name: Tekno?
Matt Parkman. Power: Hears other people’s thoughts. Name: Frequency?

Sylar. Power: “You’re broken. I can fix you.” Name: Sylar’s scary enough, don’t you think?
