I take it no one got the reference?

[Mars Investigations]

Live and Let Die.

ooh, ok so i guess the comic came first, then the movie?

[Cyclops1974]

To be precise, the first Baron Samedi is the one in the Voodoo culture/religion. A spirit at the crossroads between life and death, with the power to ressurect people or to let them pass into th realm of the death.

But, this being Heroes, I guess the reference here is probably to the Marvel villain.

I wonder if he possesses any powers? Maybe powers similar to the of the comic Baron Samedi? Controlling people? Creating zombies?
