Now we know what Tracy Strauss' ability is. She is definitely the Ice Queen of the series, literally.

I have always loved Ali Larter as an actress and I kinda liked Jessica from season one. But i hated Nikki and I hated Nikki's story line.

I love Tracy's power and i love her plot so far this season, I'm really looking forward to the Ice Queen of mean!

hmm.. remember her promo picture with the icy background? so it did have something to do with her power. i wonder if its exactly like sylars ability, or she has to touch watever she wants to freeze

yes! very coool power! I hope she can also freeze the air and shoot icicles or chunks of ice! would be soo awesome, i also hated the nikki story line, but this one is much better


but hey when Tracy used her power and killed that reporter she looked surpriced like she didn't know she could do that....or am i wrong?

KNEW IT

yeah, first time she realized she has an ability

Then it probably is Nikki and not another person like a twin sister or a look alike...
looks like they erased her memory and gave her a new one.
not sure tho, because of her new coool power.
I really hope they make her shoot icicles

WOO! I've always wanted someone to have this ability on the show (other than Sylar).

I ridiculed this idea before, and it looks as if I was wrong. So Tracy has cryokinesis then.

I think it's Niki with erased memory (though I don't really see how she could have other power)
Or Jessica didn't really die. Maybe Linderman had different plans for each one of them. And the company arranged the whole thing, so nobody knew. In the end of the first season it was obvious that Linderman manipulated with the life of DL and Niki

If she is Niki she could have used her new power to survive the fire.

The effects of Cryokinesis look a lot better than they did in S1. Hopefully Tracy actually uses her ability more than Sylar does, I'd really like to see what all she can do with it.

Er no,.... Niki is dead. Do I really need too dig out the picc of her body?

Then could Tracy be her twin or some sort? Where could she come from then?

I really cannot take this anymore. Tracy is Niki and Jessica's triplet!!!

Shes a triplet, check the magazine scans in the spoiler section.

Cool. I wondered too when she look at the video on the laptop. Wierd thing is she never admitted to nathan she knows niki.

I LOVED every single scene with Ali to say the least. Her acting was awesome once again, the new role she plays is cool, the new ability is fun and was one of my favorite scenes (together with elles shockwave) through all 3 seasons so far.
Can't wait to see more of her and I hope she survives this time!

Nasty..

The ice queen

Ok, well, first off... Jessica and Nikki were sisters, but not twins, originally. So Tracey being a "triplet" just sounds misleading to me. Then again, we have had things get ironed-out mid show before, to make story fit better, changing details like this, so it's really anyones guess.

However, my personal guess, is that Tracey really is just a 4th personality for Nikki. Since her powers seem to be tied up with the MPD anyways, is it really so far of a stretch that each of her personalities could have different powers? And as Nikki, the "true" personality, she can potentially access all of the powers? We never saw what, if any, powers were wielded my little-miss-vegas, but Jessica had strength, which Nikki eventually gained ACCESS to, LMV never manifested. I am betting that that is the case... I mean, the company (and the Haitian) need not even be involved... not really. Amnesia is a common side-effect of MPD.

-Khay

The main issue with your idea, Khay, is the info Mohinder (god i hate him) gave us in these episodes. Its the blood chemistry that defines the power (or whatever the heck Sylar does). And no amount of MPD will effect blood chemistry.

For that reason, i'm witholding judgement on Tracey's identity.

Glad Ali is back, though. She and Mrs. Petrelli (whose name always escapes me) are the most talented members of the cast (not including guests, of course. Since we all love Malcolm McDowell).

And how did Niki not know she had another sister? This all makes ZERO sense...

There seemsto be a linkage between the hero's powers and them needing them
ie matt-needed to pass test to be in fbi-telepathy
nathan-car crash-needed to fly
dl-criminal(breaking in)-phasing etc
so maybe nikki developed cryokenesis in the fire to put it out and because of the new power she sort of rebooted and lost her memory

New Ice queen power is quite impressive, but did anyone else notice who the reporter was that she killed? Only the Greatest (american) Hero....

Personally, I'm already in love with Tracy Strauss. I felt an instant connection with Niki "Jessica"/"Gina" Sanders in the first episode of the series - something that's never happened before - and she was automatically my favorite character. However, the connection I felt with Tracy was much stronger than I what I ever felt with Niki. I can't put my finger on why, though. It's almost like it's because she's the perfect mix between Niki and Jessica...

Though, I'm a little disappointed that her power isn't something completely original. Cyrokinesis was already used on the show (well...mentioned/shown like twice, but we've never seen it actually used...) and I think the "Touch of Death" ability would've been an equally, if not more, interesting route to take. Both serve the same purpose though. Tracy feels like she's cursed with this ability that caused her to accidentally kill a man.

And then there's Nathan...I'm dying for them to take the chemistry between Adrian Pasdar and Ali Larter to a whole new level. I honestly believe that it's inevitable now.



The article in question was released rather recently (just the other day?) so it's really no surprise that most people haven't read it - plus, you know, not everybody follows spoilers so close enough to notice something within a scan of an article or to jump all over a new post in the spoiler forum. But for those who ARE curious and haven't read the article itself, it says that the Sanders triplets (Niki, Jessica, and Tracy) were basically created by the original twelve Company members because they wanted to play God. They were then separated at birth. Why? I don't know. But that's why Niki wasn't aware of a third sister and Tracy doesn't know who Niki is. Tracy's going to be pissed off at Mama Petrelli (who was involved in the experiment) because Tracy was never aware of her family members - who are all deceased now, except for Hal, the father - and because she was CREATED, not BORN. This is probably going to put Nathan in an awkward position between Tracy and his mother.

As far as the Jessica being a twin issue is concerned, it was never explicity said that she was an older sister or a twin. It was always very vague. The only thing that could've really pointed towards her being an older sister is the picture that Linderman had in his records of Niki and Jessica as little girls (they both didn't look the same). This is probably because they used a picture from Ali Larter's childhood that was of her and her real sister and they didn't think that it would point towards Jessica being older than Niki. Quite honestly, it doesn't matter since it was never specifically said on the show whether or not they were twins or just sisters.

I, however, was always under the impression that they were twins.

People need to stop being so pissy some people might not want to read spoiler; I did that for the first 12 eps i wasn't as much fun or suspenseful
This spoiler I def did not want to read, thank God I stoped
