The Wonder Twins: A Maya and Alejandro discussion thread.

so alejandro has a power?

Yes, Alejandro's power is essentially an "antivirus" to Maya's "virus." It looks like he has to absorb it through physical contact with her and that, if no one has died from Maya's virus, it completely cures them. Also, in the Canadian preview, Sylar mentions how the twins both have power.
 
Well, Clarie is near Los Angeles, so it's certainly possible. However, here's something else to consider:

In the Canadian preview of the next episode, we know that Sylar meets up with the Mexican Wonder Twins. There's also a rumor going around that Sylar will kill Alejandro.

My guess is that the Twins storyline could tie in this way:

Sylar meets up with the twins, and learns they have powers and offers to take them to see Dr. Suresh, that he was good friends with him. Alejandro doesn't trust him, but Maya is willing to except his help. Sylar learns that, contrary to what he first thought, he did in fact absorb Candice's power to cast illusions, realizing that the power only effects what others see while he can see how things really are (which is why he thought it didn't work at first). As a result, Sylar kills Alejandro and absorbs his power, and then disguises himself as Alejandro to fool Maya. Because of Alejandro's power, Sylar is immune to Maya's virus and decides she can be a useful tool in acquiring other powers--by manipulating her to kill others with powers via her virus so that he can absorb their powers. If Maya ever discovers that her "brother" is Sylar, Sylar can tell her that she can't exactly run away unless she wants to cause a massive epidemic and that, because he has her brother's power, only he can prevent her from losing control. Also, it could be revealed that Alejandro's power wasn't just stopping his sister's plague, but that he could cure ANY virus, including the Chandra Virus. So now Sylar, ironically, a killer of Heroes, holds their cure. Of course, this brings a ethical dilemma for Mohindir because Sylar his a "monster" and yet is potentially the key to eradicating the Chandra Virus.

Good theory.... but I hate it. :(

Just because it involves killing off one of the wonder twins. :o


:cmad:
 
I don't want Alejandro to die. So he probably will. Sigh.
 
For the sake of clarity, it's "yin and yang" not "ying and yan" or anything.

Being somewhat competent in both Japanese and Spanish (also French for that matter, for the "Je m'appelle Mohinder"), I'm thrilled by the multilingualism. I love catching instances where Hiro's subtitles aren't translated correctly.
 
I want to like these two. I really do.

But I find their story to be pretty bland right now. And I also feel that they revealed their powers too soon. Maybe if they kept us waiting, I'd be more interested.
 
I hope that Maya learns to control her "power" eventually and not be too dependant on Alejandro. I think Alejandro's healing power is quite interesting.

My guess? Alejandro won't last long, leaving Mya royally screwed.
 
I wonder if somehow Maya is connected to the virus...
 
we can assume from the nbc press release alejandro will be around untill atleast episode7
 
Well, I was wrong about Sylar killing Alejandro in episode 5, but I'm still saying it's still a strong possibility that Alejandro is going to be Sylar's next victim. Plus, I found this from E! Online (courtesy of the Heroes Fanatic website) that seems to suggest that the theory of Sylar killing Alejandro and disguising himself as him to manipulate Maya may be not that far off the mark.

Maya and Alejandro Have a Crazy Twist
: Be patient with this brother/sister combo; there’s some juicy stuff coming up to make you invested in the pair. For starters, Sylar (Zachary Quinto) will be all hooked up with Maya for at least a handful of episodes, using her for her power to kill everyone, now that he’s currently a powerless puss.

And then there’s the jaw-dropping moment where you find out exactly what kind of “homicidio” Maya is wanted for. Let’s just it involves a wedding and is above and beyond anything you’d think this Latina cutie could be capable of. Prepare to freak out.

"there's some juicy stuff coming up to make you invested in the pair" Makes me believe they won't split them up. ie not kill Alejandro. :\

Not necessarily. It says that Sylar will be "using Maya's power to kill" people since he doesn't have any powers of his own. But as we saw last episode, he, like everyone else, is vulnerable to Maya's virus. How can he use her as his personal weapon if she can kill him as well? Plus the only person who is immune, who can cure her, who doesn't trust Sylar, and who is probably smart enough--make that foolish enough--to get in Sylar's way is Alejandro. So, in order for Sylar to use Maya, he's got to kill Alejandro and take his ability in order to protect himself and control Maya. Plus, the guy playing Alejandro is listed as a guest star rather than a series regular. That makes his survivability for the season tentative at best.
 
Do you think Alejandro's abillity is actually like the Haitians. Canceling out others powers not just Maya's.

Hmm, that's a very good theory. It would certainly explain how Alejandro is immune to Maya and how he can "cure" her virus power. Plus if Sylar does kill him and get his hands on that power, then it makes him an even bigger threat because he could just "turn off" whatever powers his potential victim has.

it's more than that. just look at his eyes. the haitian is a power nullifier; alejandro isn't.
