[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] I'm in the "Claire has a duplicate of Kensei's powers" camp, so I figure she's immortal too (and then so is Peter). So her blood would also heal someone. Also, something I forgot to mention before, it now appears that people with healing abilities can repair their memory after the Haitian has fucked with it. This would seem to indicate that his power doesn't do something functional - ie, mess with their *mind* so that they can't remember - but rather something physical, damaging the neurons/synapses/brain structures responsible for storing a particular memory. This again makes me want to bring up the fact that he apparently has two completely separate and unique powers - the power of memory erasure and the power of power suppression. I'd love to see them explain how those two powers are related... Edit: I guess this resolves the debate about how Peter remembered his mom in the previous episode - he thought about her and healed the memory. Don't know why that didn't heal the whole shebang though. And relating to what I originally posted about the Haitian, I remember someone positing that his suppression sort of suppresses the memory of how to use their powers. I'm going to post my two rebuttals in advance of that being brought up: 1) The Haitian's memory erasure is [i]permanent[/i]. If he erases your memory, you don't get it back (unless you're a lucky fool with a healing power). However, as soon as he leaves the area, everyone can use their powers again. 2) More telling - he erased Peter's memory, but Peter could still use his powers. And he erased pretty much *everything,* so he'd have to have purposely left the powers intact - or, his suppression power has nothing to do with memory. I think the latter makes more sense, because it makes sense that these abilities would come from a part of the brain that has nothing to do with memory (like ingrained tasks and reflexes come from a different part, and so does language, and so on). I think he can only affect factual/experience memory. (Also, it would have been really foolish for him to leave a being as powerful as Peter with total amnesia but still able to manifest deadly powers such as plasma, TK, EMP, telepathy, invisibility...and even the more benign abilities like healing and painting the future could be dangerous. Not to mention space-time jumping - after all, look what happened! ;-)) [/QB][/QUOTE]
