10 Most Annoying TV Plot Holes Ever
3. Claire's Healing Power Origin Isn't Consistent - Heroes
It's established in the pilot episode of Heroes that Claire Bennet only discovers her miraculous ability to heal rapidly as she hits puberty, smashing her hand in a glass case only to reveal no scarring or wounds upon undoing her bandages down the line.
Yet, after a later scene alongside her biological mother, that earlier discovery suddenly seems to possess a few holes. Claire's mother confesses to her that she assumed her child had died in a house fire when she was a baby, even telling her, "you were dead", and admitting that the fact she somehow survived was "a miracle".
Claire possessing this ability to heal at a superhuman level at such a young age and then simply losing it up until the point she hit 15-years-old feels like a bit of a stretch. So, it's more likely that the writers just thought this was a neat way to explain how the pair were separated so early into Claire's life and hoped you'd forget about those years of not knowing/using her gifts shortly after.
