My take on some of the heroes characters!

My take on some of the Heroes Characters

MOHINDER SURESH :
I believe that this character shows slight resemblence to a Moira McTaggert/Charles Xavier character, other then the psychic powers of course. So far he has wanted to find all these people and to help them. His entire story has been about finding these people with the special abilities, he has seemed to have all the answers. I see him banding the group of Good guys together and helping them become more of a team.











NATHAN PETRELLI :
This character gives me the Tony Stark vibe. Sometimes it appears that his intentions are to help is brother, but other times it just seems he is trying to protect his career as a politician. Of course the main draw to this conclusion is the look, he has the Richman/I am in charge look, and of course the money mixed with the flying just yells TONY STARK! He doesn’t always have the best of intentions at heart. The character is cloudy, very grey, you don’t know if he is going to use his powers for good/evil/personal gain/ etc.



















MR.BENNET :
Ahh now here is a charcter that has been hard to understand from the get go! Is he good, is he bad? First starting with the abduction of many super powered humans. The love for his daughter, and not to mention there is a son thrown in there. This character seemed like Magneto. He still loves his family and wishes to protect them, but still believes that his goal, whatever it is he is doing is the right path.


















PETER PETRELLI :
Rogue, Rogue, and a little more of Rogue. That’s pretty much this guy’s power. Except one different thing, we have now found out that he can use anyones powers he comes into contact with, even if they are not there anymore. Once absorbed he can use the power when ever he wants to. Brother of Nathan Petrelli, my Iron Man, I would love to see how this brother plot will grow.


















NIKI SANDERS :
What more can be said other then….PHOENIX!!
She has all the characteristics, loving caring person as Niki Sanders, but then her wild side steps in. The side with all the power, the destructive love for power, passion, super/nearly endless strength.
Niki : Jean Grey *without the telepathy*
Jessica: Phonenix









SYLER :
The villian we love to hate. He enjoys going to other “mutants” and stealing bits of them if not all of them, taking their power. I remember someone in the Marvel universe that would do the same with them, steal some powers, not always for himself, but he would steal them. Mr. Sinister. Syler is psychotic, power hungry. I can just imagine him with a pale white face and a jewel on his forhead! The way he can pretend to be friendly with some and then change his “appearance”


CLAIRE BENNET :
I would think this one is very obvious, regeneration…um Wolverine? Obviously she isn’t a killing machine of course but the regeneration just screams Wolverine. Hmmm wonder if she has some spikes in those hands?











HIRO NAKAMURA :
This one was so hard for me to come to a conclusion with. I saw some kind of mix between, Cable/Bishop mixed with the swordsman. Kind of a hard character to classify down to one Marvel Hero. The Time Traveling and Teleporting flagged my attention, and who other then Bishop and Cable? Course the sword, I wonder if Hiro will don a purple suit?

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

    Freaking Warner Brothers!!!

    Joss Whedon Off Wonder Woman!
    Source: Joss Whedon
    February 2, 2007
    Joss Whedon has announced on his official Blog that he will no longer be writing and directing the Wonder Woman movie at Warner Bros. Pictures.:SATIN TIGHTS NO LONGER. Joss will not be fighting for our rights after all.You (hopefully) heard it here first: I'm no longer slated to make Wonder Woman. What? But how? My chest... so tight! Okay, stay calm and I'll explain as best I can. It's pretty complicated, so bear with me. I had a take on the film that, well, nobody liked. Hey, not that complicated.Let me stress first that everybody at the studio and Silver Pictures were cool and professional. We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that's never gonna work. Non-sympatico. It happens all the time. I don't think any of us expected it to this time, but it did. Everybody knows how long I was taking, what a struggle that script was, and though I felt good about what I was coming up with, it was never gonna be a simple slam-dunk. I like to think it rolled around the rim a little bit, but others may have differing views.The worst thing that can happen in this scenario is that the studio just keeps hammering out changes and the writer falls into a horrible limbo of development. These guys had the clarity and grace to skip that part. So I'm a free man.Well, sorta. There is that "Goners" movie I can finally finish polishing, and plenty of other things in the hopper I've wanted to pursue. I'm as relieved as I am disappointed, and both of those things lead to drink, so that's a plus. Truly, you may be hearing some interesting things brewing in the coming months. But all potential jets therein will be visible.But most importantly, I never have to answer THAT question again!!!! And you don't have to link to every rumor site! Finally and forever: I never had an actress picked out, or even a consistant front-runner. I didn't have time to waste on casting when I was so busy air-balling on the script. (No! Rim! There was rim!) That's the greatest relief of all. I can do interviews again!Thanks for your time. You are the people who make the world go 'round. Or, no, science does that.This announcement comes on the heels of yesterday's news that Warner Bros. has picked up a script from script from newcomers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland

    We will not forget!!


    We will not forget what was done on September 11th. The countless many men and women who died, the many who helped serve that day, both hired and volunteered. And to our armed forces, who continue to keep us safe. America is behind you, continue to keep on.
    United we stand.
    We will NOT forget,

    gears of war baby!

    Yea so me and Josh Schluep have begun our XBOX 360 craze!
    We are in the process of beating the game in co-op mode through the hardcore difficulty, then to insane, and then modest! I would have to say gears of by far one of my favorite games to date. That gameplay is just mezmerizing. The cinematics alone would make the game worth playing if the gameplay sucked. I start the game and I feel like I am inside a movie, its just amazing, high impact action, great dialogue, sweet weaponry, amazing enemies. I am very excited to finally own this game!
