Heroes

Heroes is a serial saga about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives.

Some of the superheroes who will be introduced to the viewing audience include Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia), an almost 30-something male nurse who suspects he might be able to fly, Isaac Mendez (Santiago Cabrera), a 28-year-old junkie who has the ability to paint images of the future when he is high, Niki Sanders (Ali Larter), a 33-year-old Las Vegas showgirl who begins seeing strange things in mirrors, Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), a 24-year-old Japanese comic-book geek who literally makes time stand still, D.L. Hawkins (Leonard Roberts), a 31-year-old inmate who can walk through walls, Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), a beat cop who can hear other people's thoughts, and Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere), a 17-year-old cheerleader who defies death at every turn.

As the viewing audience is discovering the nature of each hero's powers, the heroes themselves are discovering what having superpowers means to them as well as the larger picture of where their superpowers come from.
