Monica Shows Off Her Powers | Heroes

Her character is a metaphor for the show. An interesting idea that was never fully explored and dropped without any closure.

[@jesseward568]

I couldnt follow the show

[@loka7783]

Or a villain. Ever hear of TaskMaster from Marvel Comics? Exact same ability. It would be interesting to see if she later developed the same disability TaskMaster did, in that he forgot people entirely. He remained fully functional, (could eat without being told, self care issues basically) but he forgot he had a daughter entirely. Even when she told him, he told her it'd be a couple of hours before he didn't know her name, only how she moved.

[@danzo-zoa2031]

I checked Wikipedia and his talent seems natural born into him. (It first manifested as a child.) He did however inject himself with a primer to enhance his ability, which also gave him the side effect of losing his personal experiences.

So disappointing, her power is actually among the coolest powers there is out there, but her character was just wasted

[@singinginthedark2786]

is great till you try to perform a move that your body cant do and hurt yourself, also how is this the best power? all she can do is repeat a movement she has seen. she is not invulnerable or super strong, what would she be able to do against a real power? she would not be able to hold her own, this is why they removed her character. but on one note i agree on, i would totally watch a show only about her, as I too also really liked her character and would have liked to see her evolve.

[@Youboremenow]

@@singinginthedark2786 Because her power is something along the lines of cap america or batman, showing the peak of human capabilities vs something supernatural.It's a reflection of what a person could realistically (in the show) achieve and being able to use such a "weak" power to the fullest would require creativity and give more immersion. Just my 2 cents

[@brizuelasergio]

She was so underused and his character cut out of the show for no reason, despite being one of the few good things out of the mess that Season 2 was

[@clinthammer965]

Originally, she had a much bigger role in the series (second season), but they had the writers strike and the event she was supposed to be a part of was eliminated.

The writers strike ruined a lot of great shows. Granted, I get why they had a strike but it sucked for everyone.

Monica was the high point of season 2 and had so much potential to be a major character and mimicry powers would have led to some awesome moments. Her getting dropped with no explanation was one of the early red flags of the show's decline.

[@pelomk9022]

You're right. Useful ability to have in the real world.

[@linyenchin6773]

This ability, can augment her IQ, which is already above average(by what is demonstrated of her character). She is the Ultimate visual learner, imagine she saw the various monks using their specific posture and breathing methods to do all the borderline supernatural things they can do? With such Yogic mastery, her consciousness would expand exponentially and she's bound unlock many secondary levels to her power. In this matured state, I can see her having the capacity to replicate Peter's power to a marginal degree(60-80% simulation). In this power "replication," since it would take tremendous concentration, she's be limited to using one power at a time(as peter was limited to in season 2), and can only use them to full effect for short periods of time, as her central nervous system still wouldn't be able to adapt in the way that Peter's eventually is capable of in relation to the energy cost and overall strain the new powers have on his body(though that process of adaptation required him to go nuclear in the final episode of season 1). Most likely she'd only be able to replicate powers up to 80% the effect of a true users ability, and that'll all depend on her energy levels, so if she tries to use a secondary acquired power, the two foreign powers would drop to 40% of true effect, or maybe 60 and 40(depending on her priority in a given moment), which is why she'd be generally restricted to emulating 1 power at a time. Also, because of the strain/tax on her body and mind, the additional powers can be beaten out of her(or waited out as she uses them to the point of fatigue)...since they would just be emulations of a an emulation(which is what peter's artificial variation of his original power was after he lost his true power)... Imagine she(with the evolution that I've described above) is in a fight with Sylar(as he was prior to the final conflict of season 1), and she was approximating Clair's healing powers in order to keep from being killed, she would not be able to heal as fast, nor from all the same injuries that Clair can recover from. Each time she takes damage, the healing power would slow down as it's use is direct strain on her central nervous system...Sylar would perceive this and just keep pressuring her with his Superior energy supply(even though her martial skill would be above his). If she isn't rendered unconscious as Sylar is cracking her skull open, the healing abilities of Clair would keep her alive, but she might die shortly after due to loss of the required energy to be revived. If she is rendered unconscious, the healing power would be shut down as it's not a true power of hers and she'd either die like a normal person in a few minutes, or possible regain consciousness in time to use the last of her energy in recovery from the damages...then faint and functionally die due to using up all her energy...but at least with the potential to be revived an iv drip or some random "special" that can heal others....maybe even some random person using basic cpr and feeding her some soup right after... If she survives the encounter, she would also have attained Sylar's "intuitive aptitude," initially to the same 60 to 80% approximation, but due to the nature of that particular power, all she needs is some introspective meditation and she'd fully incorporate it, bringing it to 100% effect(though such would not take moments as it did with peter, maybe hours or even days). This, in turn, would flush out her previous limitations and she's quickly becomes equal to a fully matured Sylar, only with a bonus from her initial path of observing and attaining various monk skills, she'd be too cultivated of consciousness to be compelled by the "hunger" which is innate to Sylar's power and heavily defined his earlier actions.

[@EbonySeraphim]

Even though such a scene is regarded as silliness to some, for most people this scene subtly reinforces the idea that armed robbers "must be stopped" -- but from what? Don't ever put yourself at risk if a robber is going to steal food and money from the register at your place of work. Even if a company rewards you $50k for doing it, your failure would have cost you a lot more. Yes, it's possible that leaving the person with the gun in control of the situation means you get shot later by their choice and "stopping" them now reduces that chance to zero, but media (especially older TV/moveis) exaggerates the situations that a criminal is in control and later decides to kill. Home invasion is pretty much the only one. Having your stuff stolen is only an inconvenience, and there's a reason why these days they have to make it more dramatic like "that is my great great grandmothers wedding ring passed down for generation." Like, ok, we have to come up with an excuse why this character cares sooo much about that property to set up the hero value in stopping a low level robber.

Heroes but there is one detail that escapes us in the series for me and I think I am not the only one! Is that Peter and Claire did not go out together, it shows immediately that they love each other, already the actors went out together in real life. Claire, Ok Peter is his "uncle" but they could have said that Peter was adopted or that Nathan and Peter did not have the same father !!!!!! it would have already changed something! And what does it do if his father is Peter's brother, nothing In Game Of Throne, Daenerys is with her brother and they have children! Not everyone is perfect, in Heroes they could have added a forbidden love. If they didn't do it for fear of criticism, I think it sucks, it would have added originality):, all the fans were waiting for that .... It would have done more good than harm.
