I think the alternate role he was offered was Linderman. He is a mob type character, in Las Vegas (not trying to say anything derogitory here, this is my backyard), and has his claws into too many sections of the show....We need a new topic thread here with Linderman....

[spoiler]Kring reveals that Linderman will be revealed after the February Sweeps and that we will see more of Micah and his ability to manipulate machines. He adds that Simone and Mohinder will not get powers.

That's the actual spoiler where Tim Kring affirms that Simone will not get powers[/spoiler]

It's realy odd that Linderman's name reflects what he does.

Huh?? I don't see the connection...

I think you're going to have to expand on this, in what way does his name reflect what he does?

Agreed... This guy/gal needs to expand on his/her ideas...

So, explain...

this doesnt make sense...linder doesnt mean anything...

Someone needs to elaborate on this topic... Whoever posted this topic needs to speak up...

I'm assuming the OP meant Linderman is one letter off from Lenderman.. and most of what we've seen of Linderman involves him lending money.

Or maybe I'm wrong

FYI, while trying to post as an unregistered guest, your 6 character code generator is severely screwed up. It replaces random characters with "Code Bit". I had to click "post reply" about 25 times before it actually gave me a complete code. Clicking on the image did nothing.

Well, I will tell the site admin... While the simple solution to this problem is to register as a member of the site... So you don't have to enter security codes...

Thanks for the info!

Hmm [spoiler] Linderman's power is probably complete omniscience. If I spelled that right.[/spoiler]

I kind of hope that Linderman won't be given a power and that he is just a mob boss with the right connections, and that is why he knows everything

So why is Linderman a funny name?

Still waiting for the original poster to offer an explanation

Yeah, he needs to answer us... I can tell him to answer, but it seems that he is never on the site...

This topic has been up for 10 days and no explanation has been offered and I kind of don't think that there is anything really to it

What a GREAT introduction to Mr. Linderman! [snapback]14496[/snapback]

What other scenes was Lindeman mentioned before the Great reveal?

Oh wow you want a list? I believe that he's been mentioned in every single episode (excluding episode 17) and the first time we see Nathan in the pilot is when he is on the phone with Linderman

I was just thinking about Mr. Linderman and a thought occured to me. What if Mr. Linderman is really Peter's and Nathan's father? He sure does know about their powers, and Mr. Petrelli doesn't have any powers that we know of from the comics, maybe Linderman had an affair with Mrs. Petrelli? That would explain it if Mrs. Petrelli had powers and Linderman had powers that they would have some powerful kids.

I don't know. What do you think? The idea just popped in my head.

Could be who knows with all these twists in the show

No definetly not, especially in the comic when Papa Petrelli and Linderman reveal themselves. As much as many people would like not everyone is blood related in this show

Which comic was that?

The one that was released yesterday, Part 5/6 of War Heroes

Where do you get the comics? NBC?

Yeah you can read them here: http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novels_library.shtml

I got a bit of catching up to do lol!

Well they aren't too long but they make for some interesting reading

..Back on topic I still don't think that Linderman is related to the Petrelli's in any way

This was the Idea I forgot to Post, when I read More info from Jason Badower about Dallas and Austin. I was thinking Dallas Petrelli is Nathan's Dad and Austin Linderman is Peter's Dad. and this could give hope for CB+PP.

hmmmm

I hope not it would really bother me if they started to say that people who have been related since the beginning aren't actually related

I'm surprised up to now nobody pointed out that they still have the same Mother, Angela?

lol i noticed that. there is no possibity of peter not being claires uncle.

I thought about that but I really don't think that Angela and Linderman have done anything and maybe I'[m wrong, I don't know but I'd rather that all the brother and sisters stay that way and don't become half anything, it becomes too confusing that way



That's true they wouldn't go back on that, I think that they need to be related so that fans can get rid of their crazy ideas

I thought that maybe Linderman could be Nathan and Peter's grandfather, but I highly doubt that. I don't know why he would've killed his own son...

No because by the graphic novel, Linderman is younger than the Petrelli parents

Okie dokie...guess I can forget that theory then...

Lindermann has been around for a while . who do u think among the existing heores would be linked to being linderman's son/daughter

There was some moron reporter from E! who asked Jack Coleman if Linderman was Claire's grandfather . Coleman looked like he was talking to an idiot when he heard the question. Anyway my guess is that Linderman's only children were normal humans. Because if they were anything special Linderman I imagine would care about them more. Linderman is much like Magneto in which he feels that evolved humans are the true rulers of humanity.

Do we even know that Linderman has children?

No just a speculation !! most of the older generation have in the show ...

Maybe Sylars his bio son or something stupid like that.

Linderman doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would settle down long enough to have children

I am still sticking with my Theory that Linderman may be the father of either Nathan or Peter Petrelli (OR BOTH!)??? Think about it! it makes sense! I think it would make for another another great twist! SO far the show has baffled my imagination, so I wouldn't put it past them to do it!

thats an interesting look out !! how about this linderman is conncted to most of the people and tries to control them and sylar has this behaviour to connect to all ( by using the list ) prove and fix things and see things and possess em all... do u think those qualities overlap ... even though the methods are different!!

If Linderman is the father (which I highly doubt because this isn't a soap opera) then he definetly isn't the father of Nathan because Nathan bears a striking resemblance to his father (see graphic novel)

Unless, of course, Linderman is the father of both Nathan AND Nathan's father.

Read the graphic novels at nbc.com and you'll find out that Linderman is younger than Papa Petrelli so that wouldn't work at all

Haha .. I know, that was a joke.

Oh well you should put a smiley so I know your kidding

..anyway the thought that they would go against the initial setup of who is related would annoy me, this show isn't a soap opera so I'm hoping if they say that Nathan and Peter are brothers and Papa Petrelli is their father and not Linderman than that is the way it should stay
