Also, I don't think Micah would have direct interface with computers. If you go into my campaign, "The Instance of Time" and go to the CADs and look at Samus's character. She has recomposition which is like metamorphosis in some ways but with technology and stuff. I think that's closer to what Micah has. I don't think fixing a payphone counts as direct interface with computers. Didn't we just see him "interface" with an ATM? Yeah, thinking that one over, he would also have that. Sorry, mix up on my part. However, with DL, it's yet to be revealed if he has phase attack or phase stun. Phase stun would allow him to stun someone like he did when he was fighting Jessica. Phase attack, however, would kill them or just hurt like a bitch. It won't stun them. So he might have both, but currently, we only know him to have phase stun.

Oy, there's so much to say about Heroes. I think it could easily be worth it's own section here, but maybe that's just me. (Also, an idea crossed my mind about running a campaign set in the Heroes universe, but I'm not sure if I'll ever actually try it.)
Anyway, a few things about the CADs. Be warned, if you aren't caught up on the show, you may find spoilers in my post.
Peter Petrelli: You spelled the Petrelli correctly, I think. I couldn't manage that so easily. While I would say he has possibly displayed Empathic ability to an extent, a modifier number of 5 seems excessive. Also, the stone cost for that is huge. Perhaps instead of an Artificially Intelligent modifier, it could be an "Out of Control" action? Also, since he has recently displayed an ability to use powers even after their original owners have left his vicinity, doesn't that go beyond basic Copy A/A/M?
Hiro Nakamura: Unless he has Intelligence-Based Energy, he can't spend max stones into ANY of his actions. Secondly, he should have social skills. Thirdly, Teleportion of 5 couldn't get him from Japan to New York. It probably wouldn't get him across th Pacific Ocean. However, an option similar to Overstrain could correct this. Instead of losing the power for a time afterward, he looses control and ends up in an unintended time and/or place.
Regarding the sword and his ability to slow time without fulling stopping it... I'd say we have seen the real sword, strapped to FUTURE Hiro's back. I'd also guess that the sword boosts his power not because it's magical or something like that, but because he believes it will. I'm basing that on the fact that just believing he was NEAR the real sword "boosted" his confidence enough for him to slow time. Unless I'm mistaken, realizing the sword was fake dropped his confidence, and he hasn't used his powers since.
Oh, and Hiro seems to have decent wealth. Or his family does, at least.
Claire Bennet: Personally, I'd go with Accelerated or Enhanced Healing Factor for her, but I can kind of understand Reconstitute Self. My complaint with it is that I think Reconstitute Self allows a character to rebuild their entire body from a red smear, or perhaps even nothing, and Claire hasn't demonstrated anything that powerful yet. Also, shouldn't she have "Takes only one Panel?"
D.L. Hawkins: I would have said Durability 3 is too high. Then I saw him get shot in the chest. As someone who didn't survive getting shot in the chest in a dream I had, I can fully agree on his Durability of 3. (Heheh. I rhymed.)
Nikki/Jessica Saunders: I don't think her physical stats really change with her personality, but I may yet be proven wrong. Besides, there's not any good evidence for my claim. Considering she's is (ot they are) among the more difficult characters to write up, I'd say that's a very solid CAD.
Micah Saunders: I'd suggest Intelligence-Based Energy and possibly changing "Computers" to "Technology." And maybe increase the AN, too. I mean, he managed to manipulate an ATM, and I'm sure that's rather difficult. However, I suppose an Intelligence Bonus could cover that.
Wow. I typed a lot. I need to take a break and then type up a list of many theories I have about what we can expect to see in upcoming episodes. (But that's not for this thread.) Oh, and would anyone mind if I tried making CADs for my favorite characters from the show?

Thats what i was thinking, even when he wasn't around his brother he could fly, and after he was away from the invisible guy he could still turn invisible. is there a modifier for a uncontrollable power, like when he took the automic power he almost lost control.

is there a modifier for a uncontrollable power, like when he took the automic power he almost lost control. Well, there is the "Power out of control (without device)" disadvantage. That costs CL-2. Though I don't think it should apply to Petrelli, He didn't loose control, and hasn't shown any abilities (that I can recall) where he hasn't any control over them... At least not since he was tossed off that building and figured out how his powers work.

When he took the nuke power, he almost lost control of it. what if there where like a concentration check, and if he didn't put enough stones in it he lost control or something.

Sounds more like a challenge to me. Where he isn't guaranteed to have control, if the original character's had the power out of control disadvantage. With the nuke guy, it seems to me like he bought his power with the out of control disadvantage and bought it off with lines (remember the scene where he's in Nevada, sitting at a table, setting off and stopping the explosions?).
EDIT: I'd probably price that as a 2 or 3 stone Challenge. On par with Hubris or being a mutant (it could be a problem in some situations, but won't be in all).

Thats what i was thinking, like absobing a healing factor wouldn't do it

I think its academic that DL has phase attack, after killing linderman by putting his hand in his head and killing him that way. But not that it matters much now that he died.

Aye, I was waiting for something like that to happen. Phase attack and Stun.

Dude... I can't believe I forgot this thread... I'm not sure I have anymore write-ups in me right now... anyone who wants to finish up or do alternates won't be offending me at all.

The idea of being able to do stuff like that is sweet, he could just hid in a wall and pop out gat someone and jump back in, Im interested to see how they develop him, if they do.

Name: Nathan Petrelli Abilities Intelegence:4 Strength:2 Speed:2 Agility:2 Durability:3 Actions Close Combat:2 [Strength or Weapon bonus] -I’m not sure about these Social Skills:6 -White Collar -Politics -Lawyer -Charm -Persuasion -Blackmail Legal Skill:4 State Craft:2 -Politics -Justice Flying:7 -I’ve Read Nathan can Go Super Sonic I'm glad that somone showed me this thread because I've been working on Heroes also. Check this out heroeswiki.com/Portal:CharactersAlso, I think Niki would have a durability of at least two as Niki, I'm not sure about Jessica but it would be three (Maybe even four?) Micah doesn't have to touch everything to turn it on. I think it was in the fanalie of Season 2 where he changed a stop light while Niki was driving them down the road. DL would probably also have the 2x damage option with phase shift.

Niki and Jessica or not two distinct people. It is one person with a mental disorder. We learn this in session 1. Niki has the power. Jessica is a way for her to escape and cope with stress. Micah asked his cell phone to change the stop lights.
