[edit] D.L. Hawkins

Who is D.L. Hawkins? --Brown Shoes22 05:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Feh. Gods of Wikipedia, forgive me. Ahem.

D.L. Hawkins is a fictional character in the TV series Heroes. He is wanted criminal man with the power to phase through solid objects. He is also the father of Micah Sanders and estranged husband of Niki Sanders. He ran with a crew of men who all wore skull rings.

As of the third episode, his mother Paulette and son have both apparently been in contact with him, and believe he is innocent. He has also escaped prison. He will be appearing in the next/fifth episode, as stated in TV Guide. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 07:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

He has also shown the power to effect mind readers and erase memories, its not mentioned in his official character bis so posting it as speculation?--Seth Turner 06:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Ummm... How has he shown this? He's not the Guy with Bennet, if thats who your thinking of.. Either that or he can be in lots of places really quickly.. Because Bennet's assistant did a mind wipe in Odessa, then he wounded up stalking his wife in Vegas??? EnsRedShirt 06:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Bennet's assistant was credited as 'Mysterious Man' for a whiel on IMDb, while DL has always been DL. while IMDb isn't a great citation source, the page also shows pictures,and you'll see the two are different characters. ThuranX 11:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Totally different actors. Totally different characters. D.L. Hawkins, and The Mysterious Man, aka The Haitian. 144.15.255.227 02:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I bet a lot of (*cough* white *cough*)people make that mistake in confusing the Mysterious Man and D.L. Perhaps that distinction should be put in the article?--Hypergeometric2F1(a,b,c,x) 03:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh for god's sake. They're both darked skinned males with shaved heads. MM, a seemingly minor character, appearing long before D.L., a supposed major character, doesn't help matters, either. It's not racism or "just white people". Gees. Now, keep your comments to improving the article. And frankly, the distinction is made by the differing information. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 02:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
To make matters even worse, they also cast Nathan Petrelli's campaign manager as a dark skinned male with a shaved head. MahlerFan 19:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comparisons to other fictional characters

An anonymous user has been contributing comparisons between D.L. (and other Heroes characters) to various comic book characters. I don't think such comparisons are helpful to a general readership and in some cases may be speculative or inaccurate. However, I cannot revert these additions any longer without violating the Wikipedia: Three Revert Rule. Primogen 19:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Heh. Always good to call for help. Vandalism reverts are like bullets. "I'm out!" "I got 'em!" Flying is a fairly common power in superhero fiction, though. I wrote such in Nathan's PaA section. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 22:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rifle shooting

I realize the show is fiction, but I just recently watched "Fall out" and saw how "Jessica" shot DL with a high powered rifle through the shoulder. A rifle that size would have blown his arm off! Anyway, I just wanted to note that I’m going to edit a paragraph to show he was shot in the shoulder (which is usually a “non-fatal” area hit on main characters in movies and tv shows).(Ghostexorcist 22:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Phasing

If Hawkings has the ability to phase, should it not be only his body that phases? How is his clothes able to phase as well? The only answer I can think of is that any matter that is attached to him phases as well. If this is the case, he should have the ability to rescue Niki.Mdriver1981 04:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Wearing matter and holding onto it are two different things; human matter and clothing are very different. Anyway, this isn't a forum to question the writers' logic. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 05:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I write that comment to encourage debate on whether the article should mention it. His powers seem more complex than the series suggest. In regards to phasing, how is matter different whether it is cloth or human flesh? One would think that Hawkings would have to be nude while phasing. I am simply pointing out that his clothes phases with his body. Maybe he has a phasing aura around his body?Mdriver1981 03:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Mdriver1981: That is a pretty good observation. You think we should write about that in the article? BotchThis 02:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I know this is getting into speculation, but could DL's ability not be a personal phase (phasing his arm), but phasing what he wants to go through(to unlock the door, he phased the door, not himself)? Just a thought. PureSoldier 15:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Isn't that the same thing as phasing himself? And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he phased his head when Jessica shot him. (Sorry, I forgot which episode). hippi ippi++++ 12:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clothes

Maybe DL can phase himself and his clothes is somthing like the animorphs, they had to where skin tight close in order to morph will not be naked, so i his case he can phase little lose- skin tight clothes, since he mostly where's baggy pants and a under shirt. - Red spider man 3/1 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.16.89.117 (talk) 22:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC).
