If there's already a thread on her then forgive me.
But I'm curious about fan speculation on her character, spec her having a power. Here's some interesting things I've found:
+ Both the Petrelli boys have powers and Claire has a power because her biological parents has powers.
+ Angela seems to suggest that she has powers when she says to Claire, "[In Paris], you'll have the chance to grow up and develop into someone that can make her own choices, and then if you choose to... to come back and join this madness like I once did." The implication is strong enough that Claire asks, "You mean you're like me?" (.07%)
- It is more reasonable to say that Claire thought that Angela was in the exact same situation with her biological parents. It's illogical for Claire to think that Angela would "come back and join this madness" because she had a power. This is unlikely considering Angela has watched over Claire and knows about her powers. Also when Angela refers to "madness" it would only make sense she's referring to people with abilities. + Nathan acts very strangely when he talks with Claire. He says "I did... I do" in response to "Your mother said you wanted to see me". He also displays mannerisms and speech patterns that are exactly like Angela's, while contradicting a seemingly agreed-upon action between Nathan and Peter to get Claire to stay in New York. This may suggest a power of telepathic control, shapeshifting, takeover, or illusion possessed by Angela. (.07%)
- Nathan does not act strangely at all. That scene fit his nature and character. He wants to win the election and is still questioning Linderman's "plan." Despite this conflict, he still wants Claire as a daughter, and says she will be back with her family. Also, Nathan believes the explosion is imminent and may be trying to get Claire safely away. If there is a link between the mother and the passing on of the abilities, it is possible, since all mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother, that this is the key to expressed abilities.
+ She appears to know much more than one would normally. She knows of incidents that have happened to Claire, she knew Nathan Petrelli was questioning allowing the explosion to take place, she knew Linderman had died, and she mysteriously appears at exactly the right point in time when Claire is trying to escape. (How to Stop an Exploding Man).
+ When trying to convince Nathan to just let the explosion happen, she places her hands on his back. Moments later, he is agreeing with her, saying variations of exactly what she said. Later, when Peter reads Nathan's mind, he is thinking the same thing ("It can't be stopped") over and over again. (How to Stop an Exploding Man)
+ It is implied that she does have an ability. She seems to know about people and events when others just figure things out as well. Her point of view seems to be the same as the others around her or at least those she choices. When she is speaking to Nathan, she seems to strongly imply the word "perspective". In study, perhaps that is her power, seeing the point of view or wants of others. This would explain Peter's dream of Nathan's car accident. Peter may have absorbed her power since he was around her so long, taking on her power of "Perspective". In theory, her power would allow her to see the point of view of anyone she wishes. Peter was most likely thinking all night about Nathan wanting to prosecute their father so Nathan was the only person on his mind. If he absorbed his mother's powers, he was seeing Nathan's accident first hand, from his point of view. Yes, he saw it later than Nathan did but maybe that power can allow you to view what they have seen at any time. This would also explain how she knew about both Peter and Nathan's powers when they were going to tell her in front of the fireplace. Also, this suggests her power when Nathan is surprised that his mother knew that Nathan wanted to talk to Claire.
What do you guys think?
