Hooded character speculation *spoilers*

[ken smith]

didn't they say somewhere that the "new villain" would be like sylar only with more class? maybe kane, the new villain, will be able to collect other heroes' power, or it might be like x-men where everyone gets a secondary power.

i like the multiple man theory for hiro's dad. it could make sense if he was in two places at once.

It said Kane has a lust for power, not powers. kane lust for power is money while Sylar lust for power is to be Special

West was wearing the same hoody on his date with Claire.

 

[Katsuro]

Well it seems obvious now that it was the Nightmare Man (Parkman's dad) who attacked Angela Petrelli. Dont know what his power is, but it seems to fit. I also think he's behind Nathan's scarred reflection.

But then that just doesn't fit Nakamura's killer. The person in the hoodie was slim, and obviously had a very different power than Mr. Parkman.

 

[DarkSuperman]

Maybe West is in league with the Nightmare man and is knocking off his former justice league buddies because of what the company did to him when he was a kid?

i think the nightmare man as the answer or cause of everything is becoming a cop-out, much like how people keep using telekinesis as the explanation for unique abilities.

Nate's mom didn't self inflict her wounds right? Because I don't think the Nightmare man can inflict phsyical wounds otherwise we would of seen some on Molly when she was looking for the Nightmare man's room. So can't be the same person right?

 

[JPC4]

I'm still leaning towards the hooded guy/gal being Takezo Kensei. Anothe poster made mention that the show could portray him as the 1st "immortal", and that his powers go beyond just regeneration.

And he sort of has 2 motives set in place. One, he could be exacting some revenge for the Original 12 failing to make the bomb exploding in NYC come to fruition. And two, Hiro may really being mucking up history by staying behind in the 1600's to woo Kensei's princess. Evertime Hiro helps Kensei or changes something in the past, he could be altering the future.

 

[paranoidboy]

What's Christopher Ecclestone upto these days?

 

[HeroesFreak]

Something to keep in mind is that Mrs. Petrelli could be working with the "baddie" of this season. Every scene she has she always seems like she's up to something. Her being attacked could be somehting that was done through her own power, which I think it's still hasn't been said what she can do. In the first season she actually wanted the bomb to happen so that means she already has tendencies of being a baddie as well. She could either be the hooded character or working with him.

I've got a theory about West along those lines, but unfortunately it depends upon this character description I found at ActivatingEvolution.org, which is a promotional site NBC puts out for Heroes that's set up like a "web-companion" for Dr. Suresh's book. Whether this character is an upcoming character that has yet to appear in the series or whether its a full on fan creation, I don't know:

...airport checking through security Kyle was abducted. His parents spent years looking for him. It wasn't until when they got a series of threats that they backed off, but they still regret not continuing to searching for him and hope that he will return, but they didn't have to worry he was in good hands with Mr. Linderman.


Linderman took him in and gave Kyle the finest education and continued to advance and train his power,his body, and his mind. He would be Linderman's secret weapon, he would only be used in severe emergencies. Although, as Linderman raised him he become like a son, and Kyle saw Linderman like a father. One day during his training Kyle was given a blood sample. What Kyle didn't know was that the blood was taken from a person with the ability of X-ray vision. A gift to Kyle to further his training and get a advancement on his ability.

Kyle's ability was only able to work if he knew the molecular structure of the object or in this case abilities that he wanted to manifest; or if he had the exact materials needed to create a replica of the object. Consider X-ray vision as a backstage pass to your molecular structure. By focusing, he would be able to see straight into the molecular structure of the person.

Kyle thought of Linderman as his family. Kyle had to leave. Before Kyle left Linderman offered him something. His ability. Kyle excepted and took Linderman's ability. Linderman gave it to him as a reminder that even though Kyle was leaving, Linderman is always with him. He was a little hesitant to leave, but realized that living in the world outside of Linderman's control, was just apart of his training. However, it didn't make it any less hard to leave. Several years have passed and Kyle has traveled the world from Haiti to Ireland and picked up a few things along the way. While in Cairo he read in the newspaper that Linderman had died. The death of Linderman has crossed oceans and continents

Kyle returns back home and wants revenge. He came to the Linderman's Building to find out what exactly happened. As he walked out he used his X-ray vision to find any trace of the murder and saw that there was some blood that seemed through the floor. He didn't care how long it took, he would search in each and every person to find whoever was responsible for Linderman's death. He took the blood and used his x-ray vision.

He is currently still searching, but as he searches he has come across several others with abilities. He has the ability of flight, spontaneous regeneration, and invisibility, and illusion, amnemopathy, Ability Suppression, superhuman strength.

Now if any of this is true, then I believe that this guy is actually West and it actually explains a good deal. For instance, one of the reasons why he was so interested in Claire is because he knew that she had abilities right from the start, and why he wanted her to be upfront about her own abilities because that’s essentially part of Linderman’s own philosophy. It also explains why he’s out “west,” because he knows that HRG is hiding out there somewhere and wants to seek revenge against him because he’s part of the Company; he just doesn’t know that Claire is his adoptive daughter yet. Perhaps his illusion powers also give him a more youthful appearance, or maybe one of his powers keeps him perpetually young. It might also explain how Nathan seems to be healed and keeps seeing himself with radiation burns in the mirror. One of the first people Kyle would try to find would be Nathan since Linderman was behind his congressional campaign. Kyle could’ve found Nathan after Peter’s self-explosion and questioned him about Linderman. As a favor, Kyle then healed Nathan from his radiation burns. Whether or not this qualifies him as the Hooded Killer, I have no idea, but it sure gives him motive.

flight: nathan, west, peter*
spontaneous regeneration: claire, kensei, peter*(for self); healing: Linderman
invisibility: claude, peter*
illusion: candace
amnemopathy: haitian
ability suppression: haitian
superhuman strength: jessica

now, all of these people, with one exception (and possibly another), have known ties to Linderman.

Several years have passed and Kyle has traveled the world from Haiti to Ireland and picked up a few things along the way. While in Cairo he read in the newspaper that Linderman had died.

obviously we know of Haiti and ireland...but as far as i know, the only thing that has taken place in cairo was "Bob" contacting Mohinder... (Bob has also been in Haiti)

 

[stillanerd]

Perhaps if this Kyle guy exists, he tracked down Mohindir, since he would've found out about his being contacted by the Company to treat Molly, to see whether or not he knew anything.

And I doubt it's talking about "Bob." "Bob" has been shown to be one of the original group of 12, is their chief financier, and seems a bit old to be Linderman's surrogate son. This Kyle Lucas guy, if there is such a character, sounded more like Linderman's ward and somebody he kept deep in the background. Furthermore, I get the impression that he's someone who no longer works for the Company. There used to be other info about the guy that is no longer there: that he actually found out D.L. was responsible for Linderman's death but before he could get to him, he found he was already dead. Likewise, he also learned more about Linderman's activities and refused to believe that the man he regarded as his father was evil. Therefore, he's seeking revenge against the Company for "corrupting" Linderman. West, IMO, could qualify.

Aaaand from this week's Behind the Eclipse:

Spoiler

James Rogers has some thoughts on who might be the big baddy for this season. "Is it just me or does it seem like he/she is a powerful telepath? That could explain all the powers shown so far. He made Kaito think he was being pushed off the building and he used Angela's own hands to slash up her face. This would explain why he/she is never there and also explain how he/she sees Molly looking at him with her distance vision. It would also explain why Angela kind of knew how to deal with a mind reader when Parkman read her mind."

James Rogers – you must watch tonight's episode. You can show your email to your friends and tell them just how smart you are.

Dizzamn. This is getting deep. Maybe Parkman can eventually learn to counter this guy (his dad[?])?

 

[fu manchu]

i guess the hooded character was kensei/adam monroe.

 

[GNR]

Takezo Kensei.

Hiro goes back in time to help him become the "hero" he is.

When Hiro returns and finds that his father was murdered,it's revealed that Takezo was the perp in the hooded jacket.Hiro gets a massive guilt trip knowing he had a hand in helping Kensei become what he is and tries to figure out what went wrong with him.

Takezo can regenerate causing him to age very slowly.This would allow him to become apart of the secret cabal which the likes of the Petrellis,Nakamura,Devaux and Linderman belonged to.

Could have easily survived the fall with his healing factor.I don't think he was the same guy that went after Mama Petrelli though.Makes me think a group of people are going after the old guard.

Booyah!

 

[stillanerd]

Booyah!

Congrats. Now please don't laugh at me for my absurd notion for thinking that it was West.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Yeah, it was clearly Adam.

Maury was killing the other ones - thus why we couldn't see who Angela Petrelli was fighting - but Adam killed Kaito Nakamura because it was personal, biatch! t:

 

[chamber-music]

Yeah, it was clearly Adam.

Maury was killing the other ones - thus why we couldn't see who Angela Petrelli was fighting - but Adam killed Kaito Nakamura because it was personal, biatch! t:

I really want Hiro to just pop up in front of Adam and say "You Killed My Father, Now Prepare To Die"! t:

 

[Eddie Brock]

I really want Hiro to just pop up in front of Adam and say "You Killed My Father, Now Prepare To Die"! t:

No, Hiro...I AM your father!

t:

How weird would that be? Then Hiro would be Obi-Wan AND Luke in this story. Wait...he actually kind of is. Hiro is Kensei, and Hiro learned from listening to stories about Kensei!

I'm going to stop. t:

 

[NateGray]

I really want Hiro to just pop up in front of Adam and say "My name is Hiro Nakamura You Killed My Father, Now Prepare To Die"! t:

fixd that for ya t:

Well if Angela Petrelli is his real mom (since she slept with Kaito), and Adam/Kensei is Mr. Petrelli, then Adam is his father.

But I doubt that Hiro is Angela's son and I doubt even more that Mr. Petrelli is Adam Monroe.

 

[-Æ-]

Once it was revelead that the 1st Kensei was immortal, and they way that Hiro father was killed, I always knew it was him.

Adam mothafuc**** Monroe

man this Writers strike better get its stuff straight, because I do not want to see this series end.


I LOVE ME SOME HEROES!!!

 

[NateGray]

Yeah, it was clearly Adam.

Maury was killing the other ones - thus why we couldn't see who Angela Petrelli was fighting - but Adam killed Kaito Nakamura because it was personal, biatch! t:

An excellent point and one that makes more sense know that we know he has it out for the Nakamura's also why Kaito said he knew who it was that was attacking him which would make no sense if it was Maury.

 

[Katsuro]

Well if Angela Petrelli is his real mom (since she slept with Kaito), and Adam/Kensei is Mr. Petrelli, then Adam is his father.

'
You think Hiro is the son of Angela Petrelli and Adam Monroe?!?

I know a lot of people have this theory that Peter and Hiro might be half brothers because of Angela and Keito, but I think it only works one way. It's one thing for Angela to have Keito's baby and not tell her husband, but I think it'd be a bit difficult for Keito and Angela to have Hiro... without Keito's wife knowledge.

Imagine telling your wife that your son isn't really hers. Wha?!?!
