Ok, so watching one of the promos, they showed a new character that Peter is interacting with. I presume this is the invisible teacher we've heard so much about. Was he the one that said "How can you see me" or something to that affect? Or was it Peter?
If it was the other guy, his power kinda sucks. True, he can't be seen...but he can't be seen by anyone! Like...he doesn't have a choice in the matter. At least that's what it seems like. Or perhaps he can choose and is surprised when Peter does see him while he's invisible... Hmmm...Thoughts on our mysterious translucent Yoda? -------------------- Look up to the sky, and you'll find people inspiring others to live outside themselves, all for the sake of making the rest of us more human...

The name of the invisible man is Claude and I'm guessing that the only reason that Peter can see Claude is because Peter is able to absorb his power. I don't know how that would make a difference but I'm fairly sure that would be why

CraigB, the former site moderator at 9thWonders, has an interview with Christopher Eccleston on his new unofficial Herosite.net (in a similar style as his K-site).
An excerpt of the interview is below: QUOTE Now You See Him: HeroSite Talks With Christopher Eccleston So maybe he was considered for the role of Sylar... Interview by Craig Byrne January 2007 The announcement that Christopher Eccleston would soon be appearing in a recurring role on Heroes was very exciting for fans across the world. The veteran of movies, television, and the stage plays an invisible man named Claude, and he will be making his first appearance on Heroes on the January 22 episode, "Godsend." Mr. Eccleston was kind enough to take the time from shooting on Heroes' sixteenth episode to do an interview with HeroSite.net's Craig Byrne about his powerful new role. The interview follows: HEROSITE.NET: You've had the ability to pick and choose some of the best roles. What was it that attracted you to Heroes? CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON: What attracted me to Heroes is that they came in for me, and I appreciated that. We talked about two roles, and it was Claude that I decided on, the second role. HS: Was there something in particular that made you choose Claude? CE: Well, there's a possibility that we'll be giving away plot points, but what I will say is that the first role was a villain, and I didn't want to play a villain. I think that it's somewhat of a cliche for European actors to play villains in American culture, and I didn't want to be part of that...

but now i'm wondering if he isn't looking through the visible light spectrum the which part of the electro magnetic spectrum is he seeing, cause some of those frequencies aren't exaclty as common as the spectra we see?

Just like Future Hiro and Peter in the train. Everyone else was frozen in time around them accept for peter, cause he can absorb the powers. But some may say Hiro chose peter not to be frozen, then why doesnt he stopped Ando from being frozen those couple of times? cause he can't. so thats the only reason peter could talk to future hiro and the only reason he can see Claude.

Hmmm. Good points. If Claude is permanently invisible and not by choice, it'll be interesting to see what happens when Peter suddenly vanishes out of view when he's near Claude. More than likely though, he can go invisible by choice...

back to claude it would be interesting if his ability was a light bending field because if it was then the writers might make it so he could leave a temporary field around something and hide it from some one later on in the series cause if it was it would be even better to do it to a bad guy who couldn't see out of it and just beat him while he is stumbling around essentaily blind. but hey that is just my thoughts.

More than likely though, he can go invisible by choice... I doubt that Claude would be permenantly invisible and since he becomes Peter's "mentor" I'm pretty sure that he has control over his power -------------------- ...heroes never die |

In the old Star Trek series, there was one episode where they came upon a race that lived at a different speed I guess, because they lived at a different speed, the crew was un able to see them. They gave some of the crew a drug that allowed them to be at the same speed and they were then visible. This could be were they are going as well, but the bending light theory is probably closer.

QUOTE(Jester77 @ Jan 19 2007, 10:21 PM) [snapback]1389[/snapback] This is sort of off topic but I can't help but respond. Future Hiro probably did make sure that Peter remained unfrozen because he came to give him a message. Present Hiro does not have the same control over his power as his future self does so though he is unable to keep certain individuals unfrozen it is very possible that he will learn to do so in the future If he chose then why didn't he chose Mohinder also, so Mohinder could help also??? -------------------- Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Off topic, but Peter was the only one who stayed unfrozen b/c he probably 'borrowed' Future Hiro's ability when that incident occurred. Back to Claude, I was flipping through channels and caught 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. Christopher Eccleston was listed in the cast so I sat through it to see what he was like...seemed like he overplayed his part a bit, but then again, it was a Bruckheimer film...  Should be interesting in that he has that crazy intensity ala Ralph Fiennes (watch Red Dragon or The Goblet of Fire). Wikipedia describes Claude as having the ability to become invisible...so we'll see...or will we?

I thought his take on stage acting and screen acting was rather interesting...never thought of it that way...

i'm upset i missed the last few episodes. i'll catch up on them when the dvd comes out, but a website that has them would be good. any one know where i can find them online? anyway if claude were permanently invisible it would make no sense for him to take money and a cell phone. and the bending light theory makes sense because those objects he takes would likely draw some attention. that's what i think anyway. |

If you want youtube links or something I could probably find those for you.QUOTE Off topic, but Peter was the only one who stayed unfrozen b/c he probably 'borrowed' Future Hiro's ability when that incident occurred. Okay off topic again but Future Hiro had a message for Peter and for probably Peter alone since it was Peter who would have to save the cheerleader, there was probably a reason why Mohinder could not hear the message at that time, why that is I'm not sure -------------------- ...heroes never die |

Based on Claude's introduction...I'm split on him. He is using his abilities for personal gain. That's a no no in the super hero world... The jury is still out on him.  -------------------- I STARTED the list! |

Well we barely saw Claude in the last episode and that was barely an introduction, I'm sure there's a reason why he's so bitter and acts the way he does and maybe Peter will be able to soften him up a bit -------------------- ...heroes never die |
