Talk:Claude (Heroes)

Shooting

The article says Claude fell over the railing. That's not how I remember seeing it.. Am I wrong? I'll check if NBC has the episode online... What do you all think the chances are he wore a bullet-proof vest, since he knew there was a chance Mr. Bennet would shoot him?

Watched the scene again, Claude fell over the traffic barrier, but not over the railing to the bridge. --Measure 23:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic? Really?

Can a single, prolific word really be a quote? That's like saying we're quoting him because we use the name Claude like he did in the series. Besides trivia is apparently frowned on here in WP. Padillah 14:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ordinarily, I would agree about the first part. However, since the role of the Doctor is how Christopher Eccleston is know to many, it stands to reason that the exclamation is an homage to that role. Also, the way he exclaims it is nearly identical to how he used to say it on Doctor Who. Chronolegion 16:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's identical; it's the same man saying the same word. Unless someone can verify the assertion that it was a deliberate homage, then this should be removed. Marwood 12:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did he use the same accent in both roles? —Tamfang 00:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Marwood 08:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Death?

In the last two eps of season 1, Sylar seems to appear and disappear, but does it offscreen so we can't tell if it's Claude-style invisibility or some other ability. Is this enough to report Claude as possibly dead at Sylar's hands? KickAir 8P~ 03:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also Ando trips over somthing and see frsh blood on the floor of isaacs loft, but there is no body, yet he feels it, so could it be claude?SG-17 20:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

However, since invisibility would be controlled by the brain, a loss of the brain would prevent invisibility. A similiar thing would be Betty reverting to her true shape after she is knocked out by Niki. Tree1138 23:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Blood Ando slips in belongs to Isaac Mendez, who Sylar had just killed (as we see Sylar using Isaac's power). And Although Betty does not revert to her actual form when knocked out, the illusion she was creating at the time does subside. If Claude was killed his ability would no longer function as we can see when Syalr kills Betty. --General Jazza 00:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hell's Angel

The page that's under Hell's Angel will be serving as a redirect page. I would like the link to the Hell's Angel page to be directed at the right subpage, but I don't know which is addressed here. Please, if you know, change it to any of the pages on Hells Angels (disambiguation). --MooNFisH 16:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Commentary for episode 16

The article states that in the commentary for episode 16, it is described that a scene was cut showing Claude starting the whole 'bears of the world' thing with Claire. However, I just re-watched the commentary, and didn't see/hear anything like this. Could somebody confirm this? RedZionX 00:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Do the details about his name actually belong in a trivia section? I think it's an important point.

Also, he was obviously sarcastic about being "Claude Rains." It would be like Nathan saying "Oh, yeah I'm a regular Christopher Reeve," because he can fly. Sharpvisuals 17:15, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, because Claude Rains name is usually linked as in "Claude Rains, the invisible man" as opposed to people saying "Christopher Reeve, the superman". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.241.144 (talk) 01:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tom O'Bedlam

Heroes is heavily influenced by comic books. We have to say that Claude is based upon the character Tom O'Bedlam from the comic book The Invisibles written by Grant Morrison. Tom O'Bedlam is a beggar, is a mentor to the main character of the serie and he is seen often playing with pigeons. Also, While Claude's power is "invisibility", Tom O'Bedlam is member of "The Invisibles". You write that Claire is based on Wolverine, why can't we say that Claude is inspired by Tom O'Bedlam? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.19.24.48 (talk) 19:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put, because we didn't say it or make the comparison. If I recall correctly, the "Wolverine" analogy was made by Hayden Panettiere, who plays Claire. Wikipedia requires verifiable, third-party sources, and doesn't allow editors to make comparisons or analysis of subject matter without said references. --Ckatz^chat _spy 19:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

merge?

I think this should page should be merged into the List of Heroes characters with special abilities, and then edited. Anyone agree? The no erz (talk) 04:21, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, although he has not been seen I have no doubt he will return later in Season 3 --General Jazza 00:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with all the massive merging that is taking place for all the recurring characters. Most of their pages are being merged without concensus. Eden's page was merged and only two users discussed it and made the decision. Why are these articles being merged? I thought this was a encyclopdia where a complete scope of the series was to be presented. We cant delete articles because a character is dead...no one remain dead on the series anyway. We cant continue to edit the Heroes pages based on what is happening in the moment and what is most recent.

Someone has attempted to Merge Molly Walker, Ted Sprague, Claude, Alejandro Herrera and Eden McCain to the List of Minor Characters page without enough concensus to do so. I strongly disagree with that. We cant just scrapped their articles because the characters are either dead or not current on the series. Users worked very hard on those character pages and they are important to whomever created them. This issue need to be discuss more before pages are redirected and merged. Redirects are often time just a sneaky way to delete an entire page. Those five character pages need review by a wide scope of people dedicated to the Heroes project, rather than a few users. Please come to the Heroes talk page to post your comments --Chrisisinchrist (talk) 05:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The merging was widely discussed. Check Alejandro's page for example. --Tone 21:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I performed the merge today. -- 19:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Real World Context.

This article lacks significant real world context. It should include information about Eccleston's leaving doctor who for the role, and so on. Otherwise, it's not likely to meet the WP:NOTE requirements for an article. Also, any information about the writers' and the creation of the character should be included. ThuranX 15:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page is a page that's soley about the character, not the actor portraying him. The nformation you asked for would be best on the Christopher Eccleston page --General Jazza 00:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
