Who is barry misfits

Who we wished we had known, friends and lovers that well-developed fictional characters make us crave. Through them we revisit our own feelings — real or imagined — of the highs and lows in life.

My desire to talk about the show is two-fold: First, the show itself is a wonderful SFF dark comedy about young adults facing unexpected complications in an already complicated time of their lives. It has a wonderfully diverse cast of young actors you will grow to love. Several love stories. And most importantly, an interracial love story. The show opens with a group of young people showing up for their first day of community service.

Obviously, none of them want to be there, but each of them has committed some offense and now must work off their sentences by picking up trash, scrubbing graffiti off the walls of the community center that acts as their home base, painting benches, and participating in other community events like dances for the elderly, and art therapy for the mentally ill, while wearing orange jumpsuits.

We begin to get a picture of their personalities as they complain about being forced to do community service, show disrespect for their parole worker and each other. Kelly is a Class-A Chav with an attitude and a taste for violence. And, aside from Simon, she ended up being my favorite character. Alisha is a pretty light-skinned black girl who uses her good looks to manipulate people and get what she wants. However, she was unable to talk her way out of a drink driving stop when she fails the breathalyzer.

She is desperate for attention and uses sexuality in place of personality until people start treating her with kindness and respect. Nathan is a hysterically funny and morally corrupt prick who ends up making us feel a lot of sympathy and pity.

A painfully shy, comic book reading nerdy boy with his shirts buttoned all the way up to the neck. On their first day, a freak storm comes out of nowhere, dropping hailstones the size of soccer balls that are heavy enough to cave in a car roof and break through pavement.

He drifts a few centimeters higher, but nothing else. Tyson kicks at his shoulder. If Gabe Landeskog could ever be normal. Gabe sneers at him. Landy already has a power. He flushes a little when he notices. No way someone looks like that without weird power things. That would have been the best power Tyson could have gotten—the ability to control his mouth even a little. It gets a laugh, as Tyson knew it would, even as Gabe bats his hand away.

Tyson does hear himself. Which, like. Could mean anything. And apparently everyone else is also thinking about sex a lot. Or at least, everyone is when everyone is a bunch of early twenty-somethings cooped up doing mandatory community service.

EJ wrinkles his nose. Also, he picks out Simon as a target, and continually calls him "Barry" since he couldn't remember his name, despite Nathan's constant ridicule, Simon and Nathan are shown to be friends with Nathan often giving the more naive Simon tips on how to get girls. In Episode 7 Nathan meets Marnie , a single mother with a similarly flippant attitude. The two strike up a sexual relationship but Nathan quickly becomes more and more enthused about the idea of being a father to her child she has no idea who the biological father is.

He and the other Misfits eventually help her give birth. Afterwards, similiarly to the birth of baby Jesus Marnie and the Mistfits begin to sing "Little Donkey" and share a touching moment near the manger. This moment is slightly ruined when Marnie begins to panic thinking she is going into labor again and Nathan pulls out and stomps all over what he claims to be an "alien baby" spraying everyone with blood.

It turns out to be just the afterbirth, which he sheepishly replies with "Merry Christmas one and all! He is arrested after trying to scam a casino, and is forced to stay in Vegas. He uses his one phone call to phone Simon, but Rudy answers the phone and doesn't know who Nathan is so hangs up. Nathan is last seen being dragged away by the police shouting "Save me, Barry! Like the rest of the misfits, Nathan's power reflects an aspect of his personality: his apparent imperviousness to hurtful comments manifests in immortality - he literally cannot die by any means.

Once he reaches the point of death, he regenerates from any and all injuries, often returning to life almost immediately. When non-fatally injured, he heals at a normal human rate; however, those injuries will rapidly heal the next time he dies. This ability seems to be subconscious, since he has died on numerous occasions only to walk away unscathed afterwards. He has recovered from being shot, stabbed, and beaten to death. His body will never rot, age or truly grow old.

As a result, he will stay young basically forever. While the rest of the Misfits discover their powers on the day after the storm, Nathan's doesn't surface until he is killed after falling from a rooftop and being impaled.

He regains consciousness after his funeral, only to find that he is trapped inside his coffin underground, with just his iPod that Kelly had placed next to him at his funeral. Shortly after his burial the group receive a message from 'Superhoodie' telling them to visit Nathan's grave, while standing by his grave, Kelly hears Nathan thinking while having a wank and realizes he is still alive.

The gang dig him up and although he is still at first and appears not to be moving, Nathan eventually jumps up and declares he's immortal. His power is hinted at in Episode Four though. In this episode, Curtis accidentally creates an alternate timeline in which Tony murdered the misfits - except for Nathan who was 'half dead' when paramedics found him.

The fact that his wounds are not fully healed suggests that he didn't die completely and thus begin the regenerative process before he was rescued. Nathan's resurrection didn't go down well with his family - his mother fainted and, if Nathan is to be believed, hurt her face badly after he arrived at her door unannounced; and his father was furious after Nathan claimed that his death had just been an insurance scam.

After the accident caused by Lilys ' reversed power she was presumed dead while Jamie appeared to be okay. Jamie tries to convince Nathan to go see their father and make amends, Nathan does only to discover that Jamie is only an apparition as he died with Lily.

He also sees Ollie after his death, apologizing that he was shot. Nathan also see's Kelly's ghost in S02E He was able to conjure a red tulip for Marnie, and ended up going to jail for creating a die with the number seven on it.

Despite not appearing on the show for long, Nathan still appeared in some of the splintered timelines caused by Time travel powers. Nathan's relationship with the other misfits is initially purely antagonistic, through a mutual attraction between him and Kelly lead to a brief romantic fling which she calls off as she sees him as more of a cousin than a boyfriend and tells Nathan that she just wants to be mates.

In Episode Two, he is contacted online by "Shygirl18", who expresses an interest in his videos. In episode 5 he finds out that Sally has taken his phone to find out what happened to Tony , Simon then realizes that Sally was just using him to find out the truth. Simon accidentally kills Sally in a struggle as he attempts to prevent her telling police what he and the ASBO group have done. Simon hides her body in an industrial freezer in the community centre, which he often visits. He does not tell the others about her death, as revealed in the Series One finale.

In series 2, the rest of the gang find out about him killing Sally , their probation worker, as he tries to get her away from the building by taking her out in a wheelbarrow. He is stopped by a shape shifter Lucy who uses the forms of Nathan , Alisha, Kelly, Simon and a mouse to "dick around" with them. In episode 2 of the second season: Nathan kisses Simon's breathing mask while it's still on his face and again in the third episode on the lips and in his mouth this is caused by the tattoo artist he insults earlier in the episode.

At the start of Season 2 it's revealed that Simon spent time in a psychiatric unit where a fellow patient Lucy became obsessed with him. It's also revealed to the group that he killed Sally.

In episode 2 of series 2, during a drug trip, his powers of becoming invisible when nobody notices him is reversed and reversed and everybody in the club he's in takes a liking to him, especially one woman who says that he is awesome and everyone copying his dance moves.

It was recently revealed that the mysterious 'Super Hoodie' who has been appearing to help the group at crucial moments is a future version of Simon that came back in time to ensure that certain events happened when they should, although this Simon has provided no explanation about how he came back in time beyond 'things change'.

Simon also managed to manifest the same superhuman aim that his future self has, as he managed to throw a peanut into a man's mouth while being strangled on the floor; under unspecified circumstances, this future Simon has also become immune to Alisha's power due to buying immunity from Seth.

He has revealed that Alisha falls in love with Simon. Future Simon became romantically involved with Alisha but dies while saving her in episode 4 saying its meant to be.

Present Simon is becoming more confidient and is starting to take more control in difficult situation such as defeating the tattooist and facing off to Kelly's kidnapper in episode 4. Alisha is behaving more kindly towards Simon but told future Simon that she did not yet love this version of him. After the death of Superhoodie Simon moves in to his former apartment and him and Alisha begin their relationship.

Simon also hopes to use his power to help people at some point in the future, and believes the gang all received their powers for a reason, comparing giving up their powers to Superman's decision in Superman II. Simon is still in a strong happy relationship with Alisha and currently under training to become Superhoodie. Nathan has left, leaving Simon, Kelly, Curtis and Alisha without him.

Simon has also bought the power of Foresight from Seth which allows him to see into the future. The gang meet Rudy Wade, a man with the power to split into two people; one being a downbeat version with held emotions and the other being his jokey and sometimes insensitive personality. His emotional side confronted Alisha about an incident that had happened at college and how she was called the 'cock monster'.

However Simon didn't mind her past and loved her nonetheless. The next day Alisha reconciled with Rudy and he gave the gang a lift in a stolen car. This action got the gang back on community service with Rudy.

Whilst training to become Superhoodie, Simon saved Peter, a geeky comic book nerd, from a mugger. Peter found out that Simon was Superhoodie, and he used his power of his illustrations becoming a reality to strike up a friendship with Simon.

Under the influence Simon told Peter everything about his destiny. Alisha didn't want Simon to become Superhoodie, so Peter used his power to make Simon break up with Alisha. The next day the gang confronted Peter, only for Simon dressed as Superhoodie and under the influence of Peter's power to attack them. Later the gang broke into Peter's flat and ripped up his drawings; ultimately breaking Peter's hold on Simon who got back together with Alisha after realising his mistake. Peter then created his own Superhoodie outfit and kidnapped Alisha, followed by telling Simon to head to the warehouse where his future self had previously died in Alisha's arms.

Simon suited up and in the struggle against Peter for the sword, stabbed Peter. Peter told Simon that a superhero has to be prepared to die for what they believe in, before dying from his wounds.
