Heee. Nathan and Hiro's comics are tied for first place in my love. Because Nathan's is...him flying into a burning building to save someone because he *can* (heart! heart heart heart!) and Hiro's making the cover of Action Comics #1 into a paper crane to honor his grandfather and also Hiro was named after Hiroshima so they wouldn't forget. It is all just so, so wonderful.
And yeah, I *love* Nathan. And not in a way where I think he's more interesting than anyone else, but he's just as interesting as everyone else and I think he sometimes gets dismissed very easily.
And I just...I love that Nathan's power is romantic, like you say, and that it works on so many levels metaphorically. Amy and I said, after we saw the pilot at Comic Con, that it was *so awesome* that Nathan's power kicked in to catch Peter when he fell like Nathan had been doing all their lives, but it's more than that, even. Nathan's the one who stands out, he's the one with the ambition, he's the one that gets noticed, and of *course* Nathan has the flashy power, the power that can be *seen*. Of course he does. And he has the power to *rise above*. Literally. And he's the one who needs that most *because* of who he is.
And yo, your reading of Peter's power? *Totally awesome*. I had not even thought of that.
I love this show so, so, so much. Hell, now I need an icon of Nathan, because I do think he's stepped up enough to get one. Oh, Heroes. How happy you make me.
