I'd be careful about saying Alejandro "healed" himself and Maya. He made the tears go away, but there's no reason to believe that either of them was actually harmed by her power.--Hardvice (talk) 20:19, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
- I've been seeing that a lot of places, and I agree. Maya seems distressed by her eye gunk, but never sick or dying...and something tells me Dania's terrific acting is motivated more by the thought of killing innocents and less by the blackness inside her. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:23, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
- I have a possible name for his ability. Viral Healing? Disease Absorbtion? Viral Absorbtion? Jason Garrick 22:14, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
- We don't know enough about the powers. We don't know it's viral, we don't know it's a disease, etc. I'm sure we'll learn more about it, they ARE going to see Suresh.--Riddler 22:15, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
- Forgive my speculation, however, it does not appear that Alejandro heals Maya’s victims, it appears that with concentration Alejandro can take Maya’s "eye gunk" and create anti-bodies that removes the sickness from the people in the surrounding area --Matthew 18:17, 24 October 2007 (EDT)

Maybe we can call it....
"supression"? After all, that's what's he doing: Suppressing Maya's power from working. Or, too be less speculative, "Maya's ability suppresion". --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 11:37, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
- Bump. --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 23:51, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
- It's easier just to call it "Alejandro's ability" for now, until we get further details. It's never indicated that supressing is what he does; he seems to be both immune to Maya's ability and able to absorb it into himself somehow. That's not supression. The name is fine as is for now. -- Paronine 23:54, October 31 2007 (EDT)
- Well said. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:56, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
In light of recent events...
Namely Alejandro dying, I doubt we are going to see many more examples of this ability. Should we consider actually naming it, or just stick with "Alejandro's ability"? -- Lulu (talk)
- I'd stick with Alejandro's ability for now.--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:43, 27 November 2007 (EST)
- Agree. We haven't named it because we don't know enough about how it works or what it would be called. If it doesn't show up again, we won't know anything more. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:07, 27 November 2007 (EST)
