• how will hiro get his power's back? (2/18/2009)

  Hiro will most likely get his powers back before the end of this vol. In fact probably at the very end. I actually enjoy the idea of a Hiro without powers quite a bit. As has been said before, Hiro with a sword in his hands is about as dangerous as some of the folks with powers running around. Not Sylar or Matt or a few of the others with the more impressive physical and mental powers.

  Also, while I feel Ando will play a very important role in returning Hiro's powers to him, I seriously doubt Ando himself has the ability to actually grant people powers. From what I gather that can come from only two sources so far revealed, the catalyst and an eclipse. I would doubt every drop of the activated red serum is destroyed, so that will always be a possibility. And for that matter I doubt the catalyst is destroyed. Something like that doesn't just vanish, I'd wager. It's somewhere else and will pop up again someday.

  All that said... I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hiro never gains his powers, ok I'd be surprised but not upset I suppose. Hiro's greatest strengths, as a character and as a hero, have always come from his enthusiasm and his morals and ethics. Of all the posthumans(or whatever) he is definitely the most noble and heroic. I'd also not put it past the writers/creators to give him a completely new power having nothing to do with space/time manipulation. Laser beam eyes? His father's precog-like(whatever it was) ability? Who knows? But I'm still interested in seeing what becomes of one of my two favorite characters.
