Heroes - Sum Quod Sum

The last two Heroes Graphic Novels titled Sum Quod Sum Part 1 and Part 2 are centered around Elle right after she was terminated by the company by Angela Petrelli after her father was killed by Sylar. It starts off with Elle in London narrarating that she just got fired and just started losing control of her abilites. We see Daphne hand Elle the Pinehearst card on a train and tell her if she stops wanting to feel like a knife in a toaster for her to contact the company. Elle knew she couldn’t contact HRG so she winds up following and Claude the invisible man from Season 1.

Claude attempts to flee from her and she tracks him outside in the rain and blasts him to stun him, but she also gets caught in the feedback from the rain. The first comic ends with the two of them unconscious on the street. Remember Claude seems to be able to teach people to control their abilities, this is why Peter went to him back in season 1 and probably why Elle is tracking him now.

Novel 109 opens with Claude being helped by by two people a man and a woman, he asks them to bring Elle along with them. Elle wakes up in a bedroom and Claude dismisses his companions to speak with her privately. Elle informs Claude of her problem Claude throws a joke that he has been known to throw students off of buildings. Claude takes Elle to a crowded theater where he informs her that she starts going off just after her dad died and that is no coincidence. Claude lends her his ear so she can unload her “Daddy” issues. Claude tells her she needs to be able to either forgive him or at least let it out, meaning her frustration, hurt, anger at her father treating her so poorly for all those years.

We cut to a scene where Elle is sitting in a hot tub and the woman Abigail who helped Claude earlier attempts to enter but before Elle can stop her she gets shocked the moment she sticks her toe in the tub. She attacks Elle and Elle attempts to zap her, but she puts up some sort of force field in front of her that reflects the electricity right into Lee who was the other man who had helped Claude who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Abigail punches Elle with a force field around her fist and shields Lee and herself from a potential counter attack.

Elle apologizes saying she did not mean it but they both demand she leave. Elle goes back to her room and packs up her belongings, Claude tries to convince her to stay but she made up her mind. We then cut to Elle in Noah Bennetts house right after she shocked Claires Brother waiting for her to arrive home.

These novels show that Elle just wants to be normal like Claire, and they actually have a lot in common. Except Elle was treated so poorly by her father that her sense of right and wrong are off, she also has developed sociopaths behaviors as a result. You can’t help but feel sorry for her, and hope she continues to find her way to being one of the “Good” heroes.
