It’s time to read “Behind the Eclipse”, great Q&A series with writers Aron Coleite and Joe Pokaski.. This week’s subject is “Questions after Episode 17 - Company Man”

Q : “Another theory - is there more to the Haitian’s powers than we’ve seen? Sylar ran away from him. I don’t think he can negate every power, just ones involving the mind (persuasion, telepathy) - but maybe he can cause physical pain in someone’s head?” Is there more to the Haitian than we know thus far?

A: Lots and lots more. Not only in regards to his powers either. That Haitain has lots of magic up his proverbial sleeves.

Q : Jeff Dawkins goes back to the beginning of the season with his question. “What powers did Pete pick up from Simone’s Dad? He seems to be more a part of this than most folks think. His daughter works with Linderman, and Claude hangs out on his deck, and why cast a heroic figure like Richard Roundtree for a couple of death bed scenes if he isn’t a character with a heroic past? I figure he and Claude and HRG go back to another generation of heroes. When will we become aware of Simone’s powers?? Now, if Simone has powers, that would be interesting especially after her death scene. Guys?”

A : That’s very observant. Connecting a lot of the dots. There are some more dots to help either confuse you or keep the mystery going. But, there will be answers before the season is over.

Q : Does Hiro age normally during the time that he freezes time or goes back in time? Does that mean he’s actually aging faster in our timeline due to all this time he’s spent elsewhere? Oh, man, here we go again with the time line stuff. Head hurts!

A : Yes, Hiro is aging at a normal rate, so if he lived a year in the past and returned to the present time he’d be a year older.

Q : Fair enough. Landman’s back and has an interesting thought going back once again to Future Hiro. “Future Hiro said Peter looked different without his scar, but Peter has Claire’s ability now so how does he get a scar?”

A : Well, then… that’s a damned good question. If Peter could heal, how could he get a scar? Is it something more powerful than Claire’s ability? Or is it something to do with Peter’s ability? Take that Landman! Answer that!

Q : Peter can now access everyone’s powers that he has had contact with - even Sylar’s and Hiro’s. He seems to be getting better at using the powers too, as evidenced by his fight with Isaac. Now, with that thinking, shouldn’t he be prepared to stop the big explosion now?

A : Peter has just started getting control of his abilities and just because he kicked Isaac’s ass doesn’t mean that he’s totally under control.

Q : Super-hearing is a cool power, as evidenced by the latest Hero (who died). Is there a master list or wish list of powers you guys have in the writers room that you look to work into the show? If there’s something like, can you clue us in to what some of the upcoming powers new characters might display are?

A : There is no master list that we know of, but the beautiful Missy Peregrym will be showing up with a very uh “glamorous” ability.
