[QUOTE=gigi] When was Adam supposed to have contracted his powers? Did he go back in time to Japan, or has he been alive that long, carrying the virus? And if he is frozen as that age, will Claire not get any older looking? [/QUOTE] Don’t know when he got his powers but he didn’t realize it until Hiro showed up. He did not travel back in time. When Hiro showed Adam his powers Adam was amazed. If Adam could time travel/teleport I doubt he’d be amazed at something he himself can do. I am assuming two things: 1. he has been alive all this time 2. and that yes Claire is stuck looking like a teen as long as she lives. ---

[QUOTE=DigitalC] I thought Claire was supposed to look older in the 5 years in the future episode last season. [/QUOTE] You may be right. I don’t remember that notion if it was put forth in the episode. It is just my own assumption that she will look the same. I would be happy no matter how it is really supposed to be. Though it would suck looking like a teen forever. I guess you could get people to believe that you were at least 18 or early 20’s. You could probably even get your driver’s license at 21 and have them believe you are 21 even if you look like a 16 year old. ---

Sorry I’m dense, but that means the virus, and supers, are supposed to have been around for hundreds of years? ---

I’m not sure about the virus. I am still unclear on that too. But as supers go the oldest one we know is Kensei/Adam when Hiro found him back in 1600’s Japan. We do not know if K/A just lived out all those years until now or if he and Hiro made-up and became friends again and Hiro transported him into the future. I like the idea of him just living out all those years myself. ---

Is anybody here going to watch the re-broadcast on G4 network Saturday, along with the live “[Post Show](http://www.g4tv.com/heroes/index.aspx)” where they discuss the show? ---

[QUOTE=Maus Magill] I also don’t thing that it’s West that Claire is kissing in the background. The hair is all wrong. [/QUOTE] The hair looks like Nathan… :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/heroes-11-05-07-out-of-time-spoilers/425343.md?page=6)
