Heroes, the hit NBC show debuting last season on Monday nights at 8, returns this Monday, at 8 PM. I am excited.
The premise of the show is that their are people in the world born with advanced DNA that provides them with some sort of genetic superpower. Pretty much, they're mutants like in the X-Men universe. The main characters are
Peter Petrelli - a hospice nurse with a sponge-like ability similar to Rogue in X-Men, but different in that he can absorb a person's power permanently just by being in the vicinity of another "mutant."
Nathan Petrelli - Peter's older, politician brother who just won a fixed race for US Congress, and was picked by an elite, secret group of people to be the President in a few years. Nathan can fly.
Claire Bennet - Ever heard "Save the cheerleader, save the world?" She is that cheerleader. Biologically, she is Nathan's daughter, however she was raised by another man who worked for the aforementioned elite group. She can regenerate tissue and organs; she's got Wolverine's power.
Noah Bennet - A man with no powers of his own, but he worked for this elite group until he defected. He became Claire's adopted father because of his connection with this group.
Hiro Nakamura - A Japanese peon who can stop time, teleport, and travel through time. Last season he was last seen in feudal Japan approx. 400-600 years ago, caught between two warring parties.
Sylar/Gabrielle - The villain. His power is something weird, but he can "see how things," or "see how they're put together," and from this he took the ability of telekinesis from one man, and has stolen various other powers from various other characters. He does this by killing them, and eating their brains, or at least a specific part of their brain which contains their powers. He is Peter's counterpart, as they both possess more than one power because of their own natural power.
There are more characters to list, but these are just my favorites. There's a doctor, a woman whose split-personality is a super-strong killing machine, a little girl who can "find" people, no matter where they are, and various others.
Peter and Nathan were last seen flying off together moments before a gigantic explosion ripped through the night sky in NYC, leaving us to guess at whether they are dead or not. However, I have seen a teaser video for next season and Nathan was in it, and said Peter's name, but that doesn't mean they're both alive.
Anywho, Season 2 starts this Monday, and I have a colossal Greek exam on Tuesday, so I'll be watching Heroes, and then studying for Greek.
