I do not know if it is just me, but does anyone else enjoy the more smaller abilities of the show. I mean, yes, flight would be awesome to have. But, Charlie's, Micah's, and Sylar's powers seem more useful to me. I guess Claire would fit into this circle as well, since it isn't anything like going nuclear or telekinetic. Anyone else's thoughts?

I voted for the non-passive because I like to know the users intent when they use their powers.

powers that activate as a reflex (such as nikki's and Nathains) are no fun. pratice and use them powers for good or ill now thats entertainment

I really liked Charile's and Micha's powers, so yeah be quite and learn to use them for good.

Yeah, I don't really like the 'reflex' powers...

But honestly, I'd like something that COULD be used to show off, but was also useful in everyday life.

Is Sylar's really quiet/passive though? In any case, I'd say that (like others) Charlie, Micah, DL, and Eden are probably the top powers I'd like. Not necessarily in that order, though. Although, if I had to go up against major dangers, I'd probably switch out either Charlie or Micah for Claire. I'm not completely sure which though.

Now, if I did have a 'flashy' power, I'd try to find a way to make it into a timesaver in everyday life. For example, if I were Pyrokinetic, how about a chef?

I don't know about the reflex powers so much, especially for dangerous situations. Charlie had a super memory... lot of good that did her.

I concur with Draker on flashy power professions- wolverine should have been a sushi chef

I prefer the 'Reflex' powers. Look at Claire, she was in the middle of an autopsy and healed.

True, Charlie never got to show us what she could do; BUT with Hiro there is no telling. The Future, the Past -- it is all accesible to him.

Peter's power, how would you define it? He doesn't try to absorb anothers power, but if it were Hiro's power he would have to try to use it.
