"Immunity to pain" under powers section[edit]

i removed this once, to which someone replaced. so i put forward this, that is NOT a result of her powers, she could still feel pain. her "immunity" is due to Sylar poking around in her head. there is a point of this in the "Villains" section Dar-zero (talk) 20:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you cite where you got that piece of information? I'll admit, framing it as an expansion of her powers is out of line, but if you can't prove the other that's just as much out-of-line. Padillah (talk) 12:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The ability to feel pain. "Series writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite would only comment that she "feels pain, but not the way most of us do."[2] Claire, describing her response to pain to West, says "I feel pain; I just get over it quickly." See. "Powers and Abilites" paragraph two "Claire Bennet" wikipedia page

Sylars intervention. ok granted, i have no physical proof, other than what is stated in show, claire makes repeated remarks at revenge against him, that she no longer feels human since the incident and of course, she lost the ability of feeling pain moments after sylar cut her open Dar-zero (talk) 10:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And, while I apreciae the attempt (I want the dumb thing out of the powers section too), what you've just described is "speculation" and we can't use it. ~~We can remove it completely because there is no proof that it is a power either,~~ but to go any further we're just gonna have to wait. Something will come up, especially on a show this big. Padillah (talk) 12:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, we shouldn't remove it in it's current incarnation. It's under "Powers and Abilities" and it's simply stated that she can't feel pain, not that this is a new power of hers. We can take it out of the info box however. Padillah (talk) 12:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, after Sylar poked around in her brain, I remember her saying in one episode that "pain is the only thing that made me feel normal", or something like that. It should be re-added as "Immunity to pain as a result of" so and so, according to me. Winxrocker (talk) 12:50, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity[edit]

There's something that I've been thinking about. Since Nathan and Peter are listed in the category for "Fictional Italian-Americans", then shouldn't Claire, being Nathan's daughter, be too? Nintendoman01 talk, 8:26 23 January 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.236.98 (talk) 01:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. Nathan and Peter should not be listed as Italian-American. Nothing has ever been said on the show regarding their ethnicity and any attempt at establishing an ethnicity should be regarded as WP:OR. Thank you for the notice I will go remove it from their pages as well. Padillah (talk) 13:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing/cleaning up article[edit]

This article seems way too long. Though I'm loathe to do it myself, as I'm not an expert on the show, but it seems that the entire article should be re-done. It doesn't seem that such extremely detailed reiteration of the the plot is needed on Wilipedia. silvertron —Preceding undated comment added 19:02, February 2, 2009 (UTC).

Plot Section[edit]

The plot section reads like an episode guide, eg "In 'episode name', 'blank' happens" at the start of almost evey paragraph. Can someone more knowledgable about the show, than me, try to supe this page up a bit?--71.97.134.56 (talk) 07:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article definitely needs less details, and reception header[edit]

I noticed that this article is WAY too long, far too many details for a plot synopsis, is should be a single paragraph per season at the most.

Also, I noticed that there's no header for reception on the character, which I think would be a good idea, since, in my opinion, she is what is currently what is ruining the show, with terrible acting, dialougue, everything. I'm sure a lot of reviewers have differing opinions on her, so there should be at least some info on reception. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.69.48 (talk) 00:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion based on secondary sources[edit]

In case someone would like to further improve the article, specifically the analysis section, the deletion discussion has brought up several more soures thanks to Jclemens: [1], [2], [3]. Also, I did not have full access to The Handbook of Gender, Sex, and Media; especially pp. 168-170 might have more relevant info. Daranios (talk) 08:09, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
