When I first read about the newest hero on NBC’s hit TV show, Heroes, I thought her powers were a bit on the lackluster side. Monica Dawson’s power is described as being able to replicate any physical motion she witnesses. When you compare that power to the others on the show — bending the space-time continuum, spontaneous regeneration, flight, … — it just doesn’t seem all that cool. But then I though, where have I seen something like this before. Oh, that’s right, the Sharingan! Those that are familiar with Naruto (an anime) will recall the sharingan is an inherited trait that those in the Uchiha clan possess. Those with the sharingan can, among other things, copy/replicate any physical motion they witness.
I wonder to what extent Monica can copy motions. Can she fly if she witnesses Nathan flying? I doubt. It’ll probably be restricted to purely “normal” physical motions. Wouldn’t it be cool if she can copy abilities with her eyes, like how the Sharingan copies abilities? But then again, I don’t think Heroes needs yet another ability-copying hero (ahem, Sylar and Peter).

This is going to sound really mean, but she really reminds me of that annoying guy from Good Burger.

But you see Sylar doesn’t really copy, he just takes the person’s powers by killing them and taking/eating their brains. While is the only one the truly copies a person’s powers leaving the other person ALIVE! =P Once again, Peter is most the most awesome hero on the show.
Also, I’m not saying this just cuz the character has the same name as me…=)

Ams, I’ve never seen Good Burger so I wouldn’t know. It sounds familar though… but c’mon, you think she looks like a guy? She’s hot! :P
Peter, I’m sure you’d like Peter even if his name isn’t Peter. Wait… would you? heh

I think Peter likes the name Peter too much. Don’t you remember him being all “I’m in the Peter’s building…har har” =P
And I’ve never seen the movie either but I remember that guy’s face. And she can still be hot and look like a guy. =P

I fail to see how that works, unless the guy looks like a girl. o_o;

Yeah, I’d still like Peter even if his name wasn’t Peter.
and I’m not obsessed with the name Peter, Ams. =P I just think that time it was cool to be in a building with the same name as me. heh

Sure Peter. Just do me a favour. If you ever have a son…or get a dog for that matter, don’t name him Peter Junior. =P
October 24th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
hehe don’t worry, I prolly wouldn’t get a dog. Too much of a hassle to raise one. Plus when I have a son, I’m going to name him Jay Chau. =P

Haha, Jay Chau… that’s genious!
