[QUOTE="F5, post: 3823156, member: 4607"] That would be an interesting twist...when he eats a power from an uninfected hero, it sets the virus into remission, for a time. But it wouldn't cure it...he has to eat other heroes just to stay alive for a little bit longer. I'll second what's been said with the Honduran Death Twins...I don't really like 'em. They would be believable, and a little more interesting, if the characters were about 5-10 years younger. I could see 13-year-old kids making the kinds of choices M&A do...they're scared, naive, and completely helpless on their own. There's no reason that 20-something adults can't be scared, naive and helpless, but it would be more sympathetic if they were younger. As it is, it's just kind of pathetic. I do think that Maya's reaction to using her power on the guards was believable. She's completely paralyzed without her brother. She panics, and uses the only tool she has available to her. I don't think she thought it through to the point of "Alejandro could save the guards", though. She was just thinking of her own situation, not the fact that unleashing her power in the middle of a densely populated city could have killed MILLIONS of people. It bugs me that neither of them even mentioned or considered this. IF the twins meet up with Sylar, it could get interesting. Maya has already shown a bit of a dark side. Maybe Sylar corrupts her to the dark side? Convinces her to embrace her powers of death, rather than fear them? It's a power that he probably doesn't want, since it's dependent on another to control, and he knows he can't eat it at this point, so she's probably safe. However, if he has the virus, and Alejandro can cure the virus, then Sylar's dependent on him. You have sort of a 3-way co-dependent relationship going on...may be interesting. Probably will be annoying. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
