Any thoughts on the Invisible man?

so so so funny

What role will invisible man play?

AWESOME! He comes off as slightly crazy at first though, especially laughing in Peter's dream...I'm wondering what that was about.

I like him. A hero with flaws. He's obviously a thief but who says heroes have to be perfect.

i dont get how hes supposed to teach peter how to control his power

he already absorbed it and now they're both invisible :S

Christopher Eccleston, all scruffy & everything!

Squeeeee!111eleventy!



OK, now that's out of the way . . .

He's an interesting character. He's not using his power for good, obviously, but we don't know why he's supporting himself by thievery. I wonder how Peter will convince Claude to be his "Yoda."

Is it next Monday yet?

Well..he seems to be a bum...he needs the money.

I like him for now
and in the preview, they made him seems like a mentor for peter

I thought the meeting was awesome! I love how Peter just ran up to him... it's impulsive/irritating and cute at the same time!

*fangirl squee*

Okay, seriously - I like him already. Seriously. And did anyoone else notice that Peter was calling to go to the Nevada desert - the same place Ted was? Weird...

Coincidence(?) Peter, who's convince he's going to explode, was just looking for a safe place to blow up. That's why he asked if that was where they did nuclear tests.

I wonder if the invisible guy can actually become visible again. I would assume that he can because I don't see how else he could teach Peter to control his power.

I like him. Very intresting character I can't wait to see more of him I wonder what he touches does that become invisible as well? B/c wouldn't you think when he picks up the wallet people would see it or they didn't see it and the cell phone?

And Ted probably had the same line of thought! Aw... poor guys... At least it looks like Ted's trying to control his powers, and is succeeding some.

Anyway, back to Claude. Yeah, he looked pretty freaked when Peter saw him. I wonder how long he's been invisible. Also, imagine the reactions of those people around them at the end, hearing shouting out of nowhere and having things fall over randomly. I had been wondering if his invisibility power included sheilding his sounds - I guess not!

I bet he can.

What is it about the invisible man that Peter wants him to help him? I can't wait to find out more about this invisible man. Maybe he's some kind of genius or since he's invisible, maybe he's been so for a looong time so that he is one of the first one's with powers giving him an edge in knowing and seeing others with powers. Maybe he knows alot. Looking forward to finding out alot more about him. By they way, how cool is that invisibility? Love it.

Which brings us back to Isaac... because, in painting that, and the visions that Peter had, is he convinced he's going to explode, therefore, he looks for a safe place to go, which brings him to the Nevada dessert, into close proximity with Ted, the person who's power will cause Peter to explode? See... interesting...

If i can't have new episodes of Doctor Who right now, at least I have Christopher Eccleston =)

That invisibility power is the shizz. I wonder if what he touches turns invisible while he's holding onto it? I would think Peter's own mimicry ability allowed him to be fully invisible while they were meeting.

Peter's gonna look crazy talking to an invisible guy...wait..nvmd..he'll be invisi too.

Thats prob why Claude is a homeless guy now...he can't control his power so if poeple don't see him..he can't lead a normal life.

in peter's dream the invisible guy was laughing when peter exploded.. uuhhh this guy seems evil.. i hope peter knows what he's getting into.

I like invisiman already - even though we've only seen him for a little bit. I dont think he would have been in Peter's dream if it weren't for a reason...

I laughed REALLY hard when I realized Peter had unwittingly turned invisible... he really DOES need to learn how to control his powers...

yeah he reallly does need to work on this powers

Hmm, it might be interesting if the invisible man becomes a "turncoat" character...but he's reaction to Peter was definitely funny!

Teehee... it made me giggle. But, it was awesomely freaky at the same time - it happened FAST!

We need someone to turn villain and fast... I nominate Claude.

!

The Haitian said that Peter Petrelli is being watched, so Claire couldn't go see him. Could this mean that assuming "no one sees" Claude, that he's been off the HRG radar until now? If Peter was being watched and disappeared, that's got to raise some alarms with HRG and/or Linderman...

Questions:

1) Claude is invisible, and he can't be seen. I get that part. But when he trys to steal a wallet, the wallet is in mid-air, how come nobody sees the wallet floating? Does the wallet become invisible too?

2) Peter is not invisible. He is talking on the phone on the street. Later, he trys to chase Claude who nobody is able to see, meaning Peter is chasing a nobody. How come nobody on the street notices that?

3) When Claude grabs Peter, Peter turns invisible as well (I assume). Again, how come nobody on the street seems to notice that a man suddenly just "disappears"?

4) Eventhough Claude/Peter can not been see, I thought people can still "hear" noises right?

wow... good point! nice catch!

LOL! can you imagine how much that guy must have felt when peter saw him? Whose laughing now poopy pants!?

yea not really ssure how it works but i think you have a good point on number 4. invisible man doesn't mean silent man or does it?

1. Maybe they didn't notice... like how Hiro was the only person in the diner who noticed a man landing outside the diner with pajama pants on. People don't notice a lot of things.

2. Peter probably became invisible when he synched up with Claude.

3. Its a street in NYC... people don't notice a lot (I live here, I should know). People don't notice a lot of things.

4. We can't tell yet. We know they could see things moving around though after they made such a huge commotion. Don't know if they heard them talking/fighting.

the look on his face when he relized peter was talking to him was priceless. i think HRG is looking at the moniter going WTF jsut happened!?

we know that people can tell they are there because they knocked the stuff from the table. as far as the hearing thing i'm not sure cause they were making a lot of noise.

It looked as though the invisible man was able to make whatever he touched become invisible... plus it could be that Peter became invisible simply because he was imitating the man's power.

What I'm wondering is how Peter was able to see the guy in the first place.

The same way he could still move when Futuer Hiro came back and stopped time... he synched up with Claude without even trying.

It was great to see Christopher Eccleston again. I've missed him since he left Doctor Who Series 1. If anyone is interested...check out his version of Time Lord #9. Just fantastic. He'll be a great asset to the show!

and this time he wasn't even that close before he took the power much like with Nathan when Peter walked on air.

Now THAT's an invisible man. The ugly truth of it all

Claude looks, walks around and acted like a total slob until he saw Peter. Hell, you can tell he's been abusing his powers for quite awhile.

1. Whatever he, Claude, holds or wears also becomes invisible.
2. Peter, as soon as he sees Claude, is also invisible [for he has entered Claude's world].
3. see 2
4. You would think so.

Good questions.

Okay, seriously - I like him already. Seriously. And did anyoone else notice that Peter was calling to go to the Nevada desert - the same place Ted was? Weird...

yeah i notice, and peter is not the only one going, Hiro and Ando are going to get that sword from Mr. Linderman. and in the preview of Hana, she meeting ted in the desert.

OK my guess, out on a limb as to the reasons for the sound thing:
Claude has uses his/has the power to "cast" an invisibility field, and that masks the sounds he makes in his activity. Naturaly, as stated before, things he touches are rendered invisible

i don't think so, cuz they make a big commotion on the street, when claude grip peter up.

1-Too true. It scary how many people walk around in a fog.

2-Im guessing his proximity to Claude helped in that

3- I was going to say the exact same thing. Here in NYC we tend to ignore people walking down the street seemingly yelling at no one. It happens so often.

4- Ture. We'll have to wait and see exactly how Claude's powers work.

Yep, when you live in a big, busy city you tend to tune things out.

I have a friend who's purse was stolen while hanging on her chair at a restaurant while she was sitting against it. (I doubt the thief was invisible, but you never know).

People tend to be in their own world. If you didn't you'd get sensory overload.

It happened one time I visited New York. There were way too many people getting ****** off at me for not taking their flyers on the street, couples yelling and fighting on the sidewalk, an old man barading a bum for spare-changing his wife, Mariachi music wailing into my friend's apartment at 3am, people shooting off fireworks at cars to set their alarms off, street performer and mimes getting in my face.

New York city is one of the few places I've visited where the stereotypes ring true. I still love to visit it every few years. It's a good way to get perspective.

If that's the case, why does he need to steal money? It looks like he can control his power. You didn't see invisible money floating around when he stole it and the cell phone.
Do we know that he's homeless?

yeah...we can e really ignorant sometimes..if we are in a rush, etc.

i was just assuming that because of his attire..
I'll have to watch again to check what he is wearing.

What if he isn't what he seems and is working for HRG? And I'm going out on a limb here, could he possibly be Claire's father?

Aw... I'm likin' invisiman *cuddles*. Don't listen to them... you're not in the league with HRG. I have no idea why I like you already, I just do!

Okay, back to reality. I don't think someone working for the bad guys would have to resort to having a really big beard and stealing money. I think he's definitely a loner - think about it - he didn't expet anyone to see him, right? Have people seen him in a long time? Oh, dunno... this brings up all these topics about his past...

Either he can turn off his power, or he can't. He is supposed to be a mentor to Peter, which means that he had to either come to grips with his power or learned to control it. If he can turn off his power, it would make sense for him to be a thief - why bother with a day job when you can just roam around a couple hours nicking wallets without any worries of being caught? So the mentoring might come from learning the control of turning the power on and off - and of course that sets up the inevitable conflict of morals as Peter is a do-gooder who would never stoop to petty theft (And if Claude IS a thief to survive - does that make him any worse than Hiro, who is a thief also? Or is Hiro's ulterior motive of do-gooding enough to out-weigh any intrinsic evil of thievery?)
If Claude cannot control his power, and spends his whole life invisible, it makes sense he is a bum - but it doesn't explain why he is nicking wallets. How can an invisible man spend money? If he's hungry he can steal food as easily as money. Unless he has a bank account that he wires the money to, and buys things online. In this scenario, Claude would teach Peter how to cope with having a power that isn't controllable, and maybe coming to grips iwth it himself. I don't buy this angle as much, too much wouldn't make sense about it.
I think he can turn it on and off, and has developed a petty thievery lifestyle.

If Invisible guy hasn't learned to control his power, it would certainly make it difficult for him to hold down a job, etc. Perhaps thieving is a survival mechanism. Of course, it'd be fun too which Invisiguy seems to be having.
