Micah reads 9th Wonders. Micah is in 9th Wonders. How dumb is he?

[Guy Gardener]

The Kid's crisscrossed through all the other characters lives in what he would call real-life, over the years including Linderman, that you would have to wonder if he's illiterate and just looks at the pictures not to notice that Issac was using his life as a template for his comic book story even if Micah was purposely removed from most of the story telling, then how damn interesting is 9th Wonders without Nikki and DL?

Unless of course he was playing the long game close to the vest all mysterious like? Using his comicbooks to manipulate the future, which is only possible as long as he is one of the few people who know that it is all real...

So, is he a thicky or a timelord?

Actually, the real noodle scratcher is how come Isaac's 9th Wonders foresaw a new alternate timeline before the old alternate timeline (NYC goes boom) had become altered?

I was midly put off when they retconned in a bunch of posthumous issues that took place before the sketchbook.

He's neither. He's a kid, he probably loves having a comic book about him. Micah is further along than any other character in accepting their chance to be heroes.

As for the "retcon" - that's time travel for you. Preventing the explosion changed history and created a new future which Isaac then drew in his comic books instead of the future he originally drew.

Well, they're two separate points, the retcon, and the noodle scratcher.

Anyway, applying your theory, were the former issues of 9th Wonder (covering Future Peter returning to shoot Nathan, then back to future where he found commonplace metas) changed along with the timeline too (in every collectors box on the planet), along with the memories of all who'd read them, or just the posthumous issues?

^Probably all of them.

Hiro traveled to the future, saw Isaac dead and his paintings about the destruction of New York and then saw it for himself. He went back to the past and immediately changed the future by bringing Ando with him when Ando, apparently, wasn't supposed to be there.

The comics they subsequently saw had Hiro and Ando travelling together. This set in motion a chain of events where Hiro's actions eventually prevented the destruction of New York. This means that it is possible to change the events Isaac sees when painting the future.

Since there doesn't seem to be any concept of alternate universes in this show, the Heroes answer may very well be that the effect of Hiro (and others) changing the future is that those changes retroactively change what Isaac drew in the paintings and comic books in the first place.

One wonders, however, why the Company does not read Isaac's comics considering they were so interested in his paintings.

Ouch.

And thanks.

You're just pointing out the cluelessness of the writers...
