heroes

What would you do if you woke up one day and realized you could fly, see the future, stop time, or even walk through fire unscathed? "Heroes" ask several people the same question. The pilot introduces several characters in different parts of the world that are aware they are no longer "normal." Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia), a New York nurse, believes he can fly, while his politician brother Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar), does not believe him, but unknowingly can fly. Niki Sanders (Ali Larter), a Las Vegas single mother struggling to raise her genius son, Micah Sanders (Noah Gray-Cabey), has a split personality in her reflection. Claire Bennett (Hayden Panettiere), a Texan high school cheerleader, can regenerate her body in a blink of an eye. Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), a Japanese comic book geek, can teleport himself anywhere in the world. Isaac Mendez (Santiago Cabrera), a drug addict artist in New York, can foretell events of destruction. These are just the few characters introduced in the first hour of the series. Not to mention cast members who are not endowed with superpowers. Namely the Indian genetics professor Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), whose wild theories of human evolution are actually not that wild anymore. Additionally, you cannot have a series titled Heroes without villains. The villains do not exactly make an appearance, but there is an air of conspiracy that is bound to tie each character together as they all marvel at the phenomena of the solar eclipse not knowing their destiny is bring them together, most likely in New York.
