Mr. Kaito's Power

[JulesBiggie]

I apologize if someone has posted this before.

In addition to the TV show, I'm also reading the chapters of the online graphic novels of Heroes.

In chapter 18 where Ted Sprague is covered in cement (á la Chernobyl), I thought the "man in charge" looked like George Takei (Mr. Kaito).

It all makes sense that he is resistant to Radiation. Remember the cockroach, Mohinder was talking about in the first episode (Genesis), the actual power may have already awakened in a person.

It has been shown that relatives of those with powers also can have powers, although a mutation might also occur in a family line for the first time. (DL, Niki and Micah ; Peter & Nathan ; Claire, her biological mother and Nathan).

An Irony, or simply cause and effect, may be that in the second chapter of the online comic, Hiro visits a Hiroshima memorial and it is revealed that his grandfather initially survived the fallout but later succumbed to cancer caused by the bomb. It is also revealed that Hiro was named Hiro from HIROshima, "so that they will never forget". That's also one big motivator for Hiro to stop the bomb.

I don't know insofar the lives of those with powers or their parents influence which powers they will develop. But I think Mr. Kaito is resistant to radiation.

It would also make sense why he would like to stop Ted Sprague and it makes sense that he was in the US for another reason in addition to getting Hiro back.

What do you guys think of this theory?

Well he might have a power that he immune to radiation. Well 1 he is the big cheese at the paper factory. 2..when he had hiro and ando kidnapped the man who kidnapped him said we're taking you to someone that has more power than you....who knows if that was being said because the man was his dad or because he actually is more powerful.

The guy who tries to capture Ted in the comic looks like Thompson(Eric Roberts), I think he may be invulnerable. He withstood the blast, heat, and other radiation.

You're right. In hindsight the man from the comic does indeed look like Thompson.

But this episode brings up another question / several possibilities.


Does Kaito have an ability himself, and is that why he is involved in this research into people with special abilities?
Or does he have no abilities and adopted Hiro, much like he lets Bennet adopt Claire? In this case he would know Hiro is special, but he is trying to deny it for Hiro's sake.
An ironic possibility is that Kaito has no abilities, abducts and researches people with abilities and in a twist of fate his (biological) son develops the mutation. He is totally oblivious that Hiro has developed an ability.

I think he is protecting Hiro, just like HRG is protecting Claire. Since we know he is a Boss in the Company, then why hasn't Hiro been tagged yet. My quess would be that Hiro was tagged when he was a kid and the marks have healed being that long ago.

Mr. Nakamura definitely knows that Hiro has powers now because he told him about his mission, and i assume about his power as well
