OK, this is gonna seem dumb, and I probably have had too many drinks tonight, but I wonder if Monica watched a TV while fast forwarding, if she could do what she saw at really fast speeds?!

Probably not....

She could probably learn really fast though... I guess.

I hope this isn't the wrong place for this, but what movies/shows/games/live events would be cool for her to see because of her power? (lets keep it somewhat clean though!) I think she should watch some sword fighting movies and then team up with Hiro.

I think Monica's power is really cool, she learns everything she see Shocked

I wonder what would happen if she saw someone doing something that required a power, like telekinesis.

So far we've seen her do things that people can actually do, Bruce Lee did all of his own stunts I think. But what happens if she watches The Matrix, will she be able to dodge bullets?

(nvm)

I think she is limited by her physical abilities and capabilities. Meaning, she can't mimic a "power" like telekensis, but she could do kung fu after seeing it done.

She can NOT DO magic people. She can only do what she's physically able to do. Simple.

I wonder Herc..

If she saw Criss Angel do an illusion, could she actually do what she's seen him do?

After all, most of his tricks are slight of hand, and visual effects, so realisitically he's not doing anything really "amazing", but fooling the senses into believing that he's doing something that defies natural laws.

Like David Copperfield, or Houdini, etc.

What do you all think?

maybe this is just a thoery but maybe when her power develops more she'll be like and mimic a copy powers like peter

No, Monica's power is eidetic memory involving the five senses. She can replicate anything physical, but can't copy powers the way Peter does. But imagine how power-stacked he'd be if he met her. He could watch a Jet Li movie and be nearly unbeatable.

What a great power to possess, But like a lot have all ready said, I think her powers are physical in nature and there for abilities like energy projection and mental abilities are just out of her class range.

Which is OK you need super super powerful characters and the not so super ones, it what makes a good story line, however has anyone actually thought about the absorption issue? of can she suffer from too much information (as in overload) before the boundaries begin to blur, and she can't or her brain won't allow her to absorb any more moves to emulate.

Like someone before said she is like Taskmaster from the Marvel universe, but like him does she also have to watch and re watch old combat moves, to maintain her remembrance of them or does she over time forget how to do what she does oh so well????
