Heh, well not in person, but I have on video...

So I guess Elle is a UFO-kinetic Razz

I don't want to go way OFF-TOPIC and I should probably cross-post this in the Elle power thread, but here are three interesting sites explaining "Ball Lightning":

Like, I said, some people who have seen "ball lighting" have confused it or have explained as a UFO phenomenon.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but in the ep where Maury came charging into the Company headquarters, Bob and Nathan had a discussion where they were looking at the bookshelves, and Nathan said something to the effect of "I know a lot of people there -- Linderman, Devaux, the Pratts -- but who is this Adam Monroe...." They lthen launched into the who is Adam discussion. Lost was the throw away line about the Pratts (unless I imagined it, which is possible.)

This raises a bunch of questions for me, including -- why is only Victoria Pratt in the picture but not her husband; and what is it about her that made Angela so protective over her in the discussion with Matt in the last episode. My working assumptions before seeing the preview clip were (1) she is the multiple personality person who gave Bob the knowledge that such problems can occur when powers manifest (as he discussed with Niki); (2) she had a relationship with Adam after she manifested 30 years or so ago and may have produced a love child who is one of the main characters; (3) she has a bio child who was given up for adoption and is a main character who is seriously flawed and lead her to hide (such as if she were bio mother to Sylar, who was later adopted by crazy mom in Vol. 1; or Elle; or Niki; (4) she had a power that had bad or evil implications, and she shut herself down and went into hiding; or (5) she is close to or even related to Angela (almost looks like her sister, eh?).

If she is in fact married to a guy named Pratt, at least (2) and (3) would be problematical. I'm currently leaning towards some combination of at least two of (3), (4) and (5), with (4) the leader in the clubhouse. Thoughts? Rob

I really dig the idea that perhaps her power was seen by this "prior" generation of supers as "evil", Rob. I've said it in another thread, and I'll say it again: What if Mrs. Pratt is Claude's "one of those" -- the model I Mimic. Perhaps the earlier generation was simply threatened by the potential power this woman could possess?

I think her power has to do with the virus....based on what this little preview shows us.

Shes not a mimic. She would have regeneration from Adam, but she has a scar on her cheek.

Nice catch, Action Cool

Well, whatever her power is, Peter now has it... and I hope we see him (or HER) use it!!!

Well I would imagine she has an ability Similar to (X-men) Beast or Forge.

-She is good at creating a virus...
-Carries a big gun (and uses it on someone via the preview of next week- someone gets shot hard onto a car)
-And she called Peter a "time traveler", so she is aware of the "specials" abilities.

i also think she could be Nikkis mom...her Gutsy attitude....was similar to Nikki. "get in the house, NOW!".

I also think that Adams blood was the design of the Virus. Adam blood is to cure, and Victoria Pratt took his blood and designed it to do the opposite- Kill.

Or it is a Synthetic creation of Adams blood (in opposite form-kill), and Adam knows if he injects himself- or gets his blood into the virus..that it could create an epidemic. Which I think is what he is hoping for.

Adam is killing off the 12 to conceal his existence....Nathan, Matt, and the gang have no idea who these 12 are or were. Mama Petrelli keeps telling Matt to drop it, and they all went into hiding.

EPK must be on holiday or something. Still no clips this week.

That Sprint Sneak Peek was quite telling, Leader. It's kind of funny to watch someone point a gun at Peter, lol; he is obviously so not afraid. Sooooo, Mrs. Pratt has run off to the woods to wait out the apocalypse? The fact that she uses a gun also says something, that her power isn't something that has any immediate offensive or even defensive use. What if she was Adam's Molly?
