Micah might turn evil he has seen so much trauma, dad in jail to psycho mom, dad getting shot, dad living, another psycho mom, dad being shot again and died, mom about to die from virus, then mommy blowing up. i think Micah might turn evil it happens in most movies like The Incredibles lol the kid with the most innocence, optimistic, and most willing to do good ends up being evil cause of a traumatic experience. Thoughts?

With all that build up of wanting to be a hero, going the completely opposite way would be a totally awesome twist. It would make him more interesting as well, right now Micah isn't very high on my priority list. Kid genius taking over the world people. We can only hope. I couldn't see him working with any of the current groups right now though, The Company or Sylar, maybe he will be able to make his own robot army > Very Happy

He wouldnt need to. get in a car with an onstar system and use it to tell all the cars in the world with onstar to start mowing people down.

It would certainly be an interesting twist, but I don't see them going that direction with a kid.

No mistake, Micah has serious power. Like with the stoplight thing in "powerless." He's like a hacker who doesn't need a computer. If Micah wanted to, he could make a "Fire Sale" situation happen, or maybe just tell all of the electronics to stop working via the internet.

I've Noticed Micah's very anxious to put his powers to use. Being that he's a Kid and a very popular character, They might just lead him astray and have him trying to act with good intentions. Nevertheless when he takes his powers to the next level and trys to effect change with them there will be negative consequences ( i won't even try to site how many times this show has done this .) And then some other character will have to try to stop Micah and they can continue with the story dynamic of people switching from bad guys to good guys and back again.

I don't see Micah going Anakin Skywalker. He's just too innocent, and they don't have him turning dark...yet. Usually there is some buildup to someone going to the Dark Side...it just doesn't happen in the course of one season.

I can easily see Matt going to the Dark Side - he is already willing to "do whatever it takes" to get the job done.

Yeah, Micah has been shown what a true hero is (DL), so I doubt that the kid would decide to be a bad guy like the goons who ended up killing his mother. I would much rather see him teaming up with the good guys and taking on the company. His ability would be very useful in shutting down their electronic communications. That thing about the evil On-star cars was funny, but the cars wouldn't know where they people are, and the steering is directly controlled by the driver. He could probably make them go to top speed, though! He could wreak more havoc by being a 9/11 style terrorist and crashing every electronically controlled plane (all the big ones, at least) into crowded buildings. He really has a huge power and understands how to develop it, and if he was one of the bad guys the world would be in for some serious trouble.

i heard his story and niki's story were just gonna get wrapped up and done with...

How Micah acts in season 3 really depends on how they treat Niki's accident.

If she disappears with no trace, I can guarantee that if I were Micah I'd be tearing apart the digital world to find some evidence of my mom's death, or incarceration, or storage.. Whatever, as long as I had something of her.

If they end with her funeral, I could see him vowing never to use his ability again, or trying to convince others to use their powers.. Maybe some kind of converted HRG type of character..

If they end with him going back into the fire to find her, well, stranger things than a massive explosion to wipe a memory and massive trauma to erase some contact with the physical world would allow sufficient time for someone else to imprint what they want Micah to be.. After all, that was the basic premise behind Peter at the beginning of season 2, even though that story didn't really pan out the way it should have, there were plenty of possibilities for that scenario..

So I'm on the fence. I could see a dark and twisted Micah, and I can see the anti-Micah. I can also see someone who refuses to believe that anything bad could come from using his ability, and to severely abuse that power just to prove that things are all right with him and others like him..

Too many options, and not really enough info to go on just yet..
