Actually when my brother and I first saw him we went "It's Dauber!" (note: if you know who that is, you're almost as lame as I)

I don't like the whole Nikki thing too much either but Jessica is pretty badass (did you notice how nervous her target got when Parkman said "she"?) and the ability to literally rip people into pieces on regular basis isn't such a bad power to me. Who knows, maybe we'll see Nikki throwing cars at people in the future.

Why did she cover up that tattoo though? I suppose it was so no one would have any distinguishing marks to identify her with but it's also the same symbol seen throughout the series (like the sword). Does having it give Nikki more control just as the sword is supposed to give Hiro control over his abilities?
