Heroes Season 1(#12)---1/22/07-'GODSEND' Mid-Season Cliffhanger Continued

[Umbran]

My new loony theory, which is so rediculous that I'm sure it's wrong, is about Jessica.

Jessica, like Peter, absorbs powers. Except, whereas Peter does it in real-time, Jessica only does it when they die. She also gets some of their personality.

Okay, I'll call that one loony, alright. What brings you to this idea, considering that, as far as we know, Jessica has only killed normals?

My thought - the whole Nikki/Jessica division is a "normal" psychological problem. Nikki could not deal with the death of her sister, and so created an alternate personality to help her cope. It just so happens that, being the tough one, Jessica is the one who figured out how to use the super-strength. But, like Isaac and drugs,that's a psychological block she may be able to break. If somehow Nikki can deal with her trauma, she'll get rid of Jessica, and have her powers to herself.

I predict that Nikki will gain about 80-90% control over the situation, and Jessica will come out at some point in the storyline. Vaguely Dark Phoenix.

 

[Pseudonym]

We gained some insight into the symbol on Hiro's sword, but still nothing about the connection to the Hatian's pendant on Jessica's tattoo.

If the super strength and reflexes area being blocked by Nikki/Jessica's personality issues, it still doesn't explain why one has that tattoo and the other doesn't.

Yeah, it's dumb.

First, I meant Nikki, which means I'm also dumb. So this is doubly dumb.

It's not so much that Nikki would need to kill someone, as much as be nearby when the person died. Presumably she was nearby when Jessica died, hence powers. If Nathan died near her, she would pick up flight and a bit of his personality, Rogue style.

What brought me to this? Absolutely nothing. Random thoughts.

hey every theory is plausible until proven false. Though it is one of the more farout theories I've seen

I agree, but I find this entire story line weak because of weak acting on the part of Ari. She is pretty, but not much of an actress.

I also think Petrelli, on some level, retains all the powers he experiences. Hence, why is goes boom in New York even when Radioactive Man is no where in sight. And he may have gotten his visions from Isaac.

 

[RichCsigs]

I like that idea for Nikki/Jessica. Kind of like a Rogue (the comic character) thing with the absorbing of powers and memories and them being permanent if she stays in contact too long. A fun idea, but probably not it.

Update on the Primatech Paper web site thing (Spoiler)

Spoiler

Got an e-mail today from them telling me that they are "...always interested in unique individuals with special abilities to help us provide the best service to our many clients" and that a "...representative will be contacting {me} in a few weeks". Actually, it's kinda creepy feeling...

 

[Hand of Evil]

I will state my wild theory on Jessica/Nikki:
...Nikki is the one with super strenght and toughness, she just represses it.
...Jessica is an ether character, she was able to leave her body and float about. She died while away from her body or was thrown from it at the time of death. Somewhere down the line she will learn how to take control of other people, possibly taking over someone to be a villian.

I think its so cool. Creepy, but in a cool way. I've gotten 3 random texts from them telling me they are looking forward to my talents and "we will get them alll" .

I admit her acting is not that great in general, but that scene in jail with her lawyer where she switches back and forth from Nikki to Jessica, she pulled that off big time. I think she sold it very well that there is someone else inside her.

I also think Petrelli, on some level, retains all the powers he experiences. Hence, why is goes boom in New York even when Radioactive Man is no where in sight. And he may have gotten his visions from Isaac.

I don't think he retains others powers, I think Ted is somewhere near him in NYC and he can't handle it. As for his visions he was having them before he met Issac. The opening scene of the series has him dreaming of flying off a roof.
