Talk:List of abilities with multiple users

I like

• Nice page. I think it might be better with a shorter title, though.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  03:47, 18 November 2007 (EST)
• I like the idea for the page, but before it comes over to the main namespace, I think it should be converted into a list: "List of abilities with multiple users". That also means the episodic history would be dropped. Some of the quotes don't really illustrate the concept that there are abilities held by multiple people--in fact none of them do except maybe Sandra and Noah's quote about West having the same ability as Nathan. Bottom line, I like it, but I would convert it fully to have the same layout and format as the other lists. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:31, 6 December 2007 (EST)
  • Agreed, I think it being a list would be perfect. --Bob (talk) 03:44, 6 December 2007 (EST)
    • I'm having trouble figuring out the layout, but I'm working on that. I'm not really good at pulling out quotes like others, but I felt the four I included all pertained to this page.
      1. Claude's empath quote was the first indication ever that there might be "powers with multiple users" (other than Chandra's journal of course).
         • But the quote doesn't directly illustrate it and seems really out of place on the page.
           • I guess not, but I found it interesting. It may one day be re-included in the note section if explained.
      2. Isaac and Noah's dialogue is an early indication when the producers were still going with the one man = one power mantra.
         • Who says they had that mantra? And how does the quote support the idea that there are people with the same powers?
           • No one said that specifically. The quote implies that "an invisible man" automatically equals just Claude, at least to Bennet. This opposes the idea that there are people with the same powers, leading one to think that the producers changed their mind.
      3. Bob specifically addresses the fact that both Matt and Maury "have the same abilities."
         • That's a good quote.
      4. And Sandra and Noah's cutesy little West-Noah comparison.--Tim Thomason 21:27, 6 December 2007 (EST)
         • That's also a pretty good quote. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:46, 6 December 2007 (EST)
      • I removed the quotes, but some of them (and others not included, like whatever Maury said in his revelation that he was a telepath) could be re-added to the page if necessary.--Tim Thomason 22:00, 6 December 2007 (EST)
• Could someone fix the table widths for the second one? It's cutting off the episode name for me.--Bob (talk) 11:45, 15 December 2007 (EST)
  • Which episode name? It looks fine to me, but I'm using IE6.0.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:12, 15 December 2007 (EST)
  • It looks better on my browser. Does it look okay on yours, Bob? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:56, 15 December 2007 (EST)

Move

I like the page, and I think that "Abilities with multiple users" is a good choice of name. I think the page is ready to move. I don't mind a few quotes being re-added, but I don't think they're necessary.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:49, 14 December 2007 (EST)

• Same here, however I think the article should be named "Ability duplicity". --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 23:57, 14 December 2007 (EST)
  • I'm fine with either name.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:59, 14 December 2007 (EST)
    • "Ability duplicity" sounds like a power. I actually think it should be made into a list and be called "list of abilities with multiple users". -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:56, 15 December 2007 (EST)
      • I added the "lists" category inside the nousercat template, so it will automatically get added when the article is moved. I am fine with "List of abilities with multiple users" as the name, with a redirect of "Abilities with multiple users" or vice versa.--MiamiVolts (talk) 10:55, 28 December 2007 (EST)

Mediumship

The interview with R.D. Hall confirmed that both Linda and Ida had this ability. What am I missing?--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:04, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

• Read the very first sentence of the article very carefully. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 22:17, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Ah, stolen abilities don't count in the multiple list.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:43, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Santiago

Does he really have super speed, or is it just an off-shoot of his ability, which I believe is similar to that of Kaito Nakamura? Tristan0709 04:17, 14 November 2008 (EST)

• Just so people casually reading this don't get confused, Kaito only has an ability in the deleted scenes of Four Months Later..., not in the canon of the show. As for Santiago, it sure looks like they're going for two powers. On his character description at NBC.com, it says "he discovers his extraordinary gifts of Accelerated Probability and Super Speed." His Create Your Hero profile says, "He has the power of accelerated probability. Not only that but he realizes he can run super fast!" Normally I don't like to take NBC's descriptions as scripture, but multiple sources and webisodic evidence all point to two powers. I'm wary, but it looks like that's where they're headed. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:14, 14 November 2008 (EST)
  • Hmm....it might be one of those two-in-one power things, like Claire's blood and Time and space manipulation. I wasn't suggesting that it should say he and kaito should be on the list, rather that i was likening their abilities to eachother. Tristan0709 00:44, 17 November 2008 (EST)
    • Gotcha. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how these powers get played out over the next few weeks... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:16, 17 November 2008 (EST)
