INTERIM WEEK THREE

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

More names revealed:

Gabriel (Sylar’s real first name) –The name Gabriel is of Hebrew derivation and means “God is my strength”, “Man of God” or "God Has Shown Himself Mightily." It appears first in the prophecies of Daniel in the Old Testament. This Angel announced to Daniel the prophecy of the seventy weeks, (Daniel 9, 21-27). His name also occurs in the apocryphal book of Henoch. He was the Angel who appeared to Zechariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptizer, (Luke 1, 11), the messenger Angel who announced to Mary that she would bear a Son who would be conceived of the Holy Spirit, Son of the Most High, and the Savior of the world, (Luke 1, 26), and the angel who buried Moses. Within all of the legends of birthing, Gabriel as been accredited as the angel who selects souls from heaven to be birthed into the material world and spends the nine months as the child is being developed informing the new person of what he or she will need to know on Earth, only to silence the child before birth by pressing his finger onto the child's lips, thus producing the cleft below a person's nose.

Gray (Sylar’s real surname) – The surname Gray is a nickname for a man with gray hair, or a gray beard, from Old English groeg, meaning grey. Also, a place name, for one who originated in Graye in Calvados, from Latin gratus = welcome.

Hal (Niki and Jessica’s father) – The boy's name Hal is of English origin. It is a nickname for Henry. In Shakespeare's plays about Henry IV, his son is affectionately known as "Prince Hal." The name Henry is English in usage and comes from the Germanic name Heimerich which meant "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home" and ric "power, ruler". This name was introduced into Britain by the Normans. It was borne by eight kings of England including the infamous Henry VIII, as well as six kings of France and seven kings of Germany. A famous Hal was the computer from “2001: A Space Odyssey”. So named because it is one letter higher in the alphabet than IBM.

Mira (Mohinder’s old girlfriend) – The girl's name Mira is pronounced MEER-ah. It is of Latin, Slavic and Hindi origin, and its meaning is "wonderful; peace; prosperous." Variant of Myra and Miranda. In Spanish, "mira" means "Look!"

Shanti (Mohinder’s dead sister) – The girl's name Shanti is pronounced shan-TEE. It is of Hindi origin, and it’s meaning is "peaceful, peace or calm."

Rufus – (Security guard at Primatech Paper Company) Rufus has its origin in Latin and means “red-haired one.”

Lloyd – (Deputy Sherrif in Midland / Odessa, Texas) – English, from a surname derived from Welsh llwyd meaning "grey". It is of Welsh origin, and its meaning is "gray-haired; sacred." From Llwyd. The name may originally allude to experience and wisdom, and probably denoted a person entitled to respect.

Lynette – (Older woman at Burnt Toast Café) - The girl's name Lynette is pronounced le-NET. It is of Welsh origin, and its meaning is "nymph; idol." French variant of an ancient Welsh given name, Eluned. Its first use was by 19th-century British poet Tennyson, for a character in "The Idylls of the King." The name looks similar to Lynn. In the Arthurian tales, Lynette accompanied Sir Gareth on a knightly quest.

Brian – (Telekinetic’s first name) - Irish, English - The meaning of this name is not known for certain but it is possibly related to the Old Celtic element bre meaning "hill", or by extension "high, noble". Brian Boru was an Irish king who thwarted Viking attempts to conquer Ireland in the 11th century. He was victorious in the Battle of Clontarf, but he himself was slain. It is of Celtic, Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "high, noble." Could also mean "strength." Historical: Brian Boru (10th century) was a warrior who became high king of Ireland and one of its greatest national heroes. He liberated the country from the Danes in 1014.

Davis – (Telekinetic’s surname) – Origin: English, Welsh and means, “Son of David (beloved).” It is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "son of David." Short form of surname that was first used in the Middle Ages. Also a variant of David.

Iyer – (“Dream walker’s” first name) - “Iyer is the name given to a community of Brahmins (members of the priestly class / caste) of India whose members migrated from the Northern part of India to settle in Tamil Nadu. Iyers are therefore Tamil Brahmins. Though Iyer is used as a suffix to names, it does not strictly constitute a family name.”
Iyers are primarily Siva worshippers.

Sanjog – (“Dream walker’s” surname) – Indian name which means coincidence.
Charlie – (Charlene) (Hiro’s friend) – The boy's and girl's name Charlie is pronounced CHAR-lee. It is of English origin. Pet form of Charles, popular as an independent name.

Charlene - The girl's name Charlene is pronounced shar-LEEN. 20th-century coinage. Feminine form of Charles (Old German) "free man" with the -ene suffix. It may have been influenced by the older and rarer French name Charline, a feminine diminutive of Charles. Char- is also used as a blend prefix.

Andrews – (Charlie’s surname) – English, Hebrew - From the Greek name Andreas, which derives from aner "man" (genitive andros) "of a man"). In the New Testament the apostle Andrew was the brother of the apostle Simon Peter. According to legend he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, and he is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "man, warrior." English form of the Greek name Andreas. Biblical: the first chosen of the 12 apostles. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and Russia. The "Saint Andrew's Cross", representing Scotland, appears on the flag of the United Kingdom. Andras is a Welsh form; Andy is the pet form.

Note: Hana Gitelman is a new character introduced in Issue 13 of the Graphic Novel (see sidebar link).

Hana: The girl's name Hana is pronounced HAH-nah. It is of Arabic, Japanese, Hawaiian, Spanish and Slavic origin, and its meaning is “happiness; flower; work”. Probably derived from Hannah: It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "favored grace". Biblical: mother of the prophet Samuel. Being barren, she asked God to bless her with a child, and her prayer was answered. Hence, the name literally means “God has graced me with a son”. Hana (Hannah) also means blossom, graceful, merciful, gracious, God is gracious, gift of God and beautiful.

Gitelman (also, Gittel and Gittleman): meaning Goodman. This surname is derived from the female name Gita. Men often left home to earn money and during the time of their absences children were named after their mothers. Later adopted as a surname. Goodman then is “good man” and Gita “song.” Gita means "song" in Sanskrit. The word appears in ‘Bhagavad Gita’, the name of a sacred writing of Hinduism (meaning “The Lord's song”).

Graphic Novel Issue 13: Wireless – Part One

The first page of the graphic novel reveals most of the Heroes where we last saw them. Peter is shown glowing in the background, the new character Hana stands in the foreground carrying two automatic machine guns with scopes (she is wearing gun belts, fatigues and military boots), HRG and Sylar flank Hana to her left and right respectively, Sylar can be seen in front of the broken wall of glass from his cell, the Haitian holds Claire’s mouth just prior to asking her if she can keep a secret, Micah and D.L. are shown, at the bottom of the page Niki sheds a tear in jail, Matt sports a bloody nose and Hiro confronts the dinosaur with his sword.

Also, a page that didn't load in the interactive version... might be important (It does load in the Printable Version, though).

Hana Gitelman:

Hana’s grandmother (Tanta) was a member of the resistance in Germany in 1944. She was captured by the Nazi’s and placed in the prison camp at Auschwitz. Her head was shaved and the digits “359” were the first three numbers of her tattooed prisoner number. She died in a bus crash caused by suicide terrorist Abd-al-Hadi in 1989 in Jerusalem when the bus was forced off the cliff at Kiryat Yaarim.

Hana’s mother (Zahava) was one of the first female pilots for the IDF in Jerusalem in 1967. She shot down two Russian MIG’s during the Six Day War. She also died in a bus crash caused by suicide terrorist Abd-al-Hadi in 1989.

Hana’s name is Hana Gitelman. She was a 3rd generation Israeli patriot/soldier and was trained by the Mossad. She tries to apply for para-troopers in Beer Shiva in 1997 but is denied because of the anger she holds in her heart. She is assigned instead to Army Intelligence. She was promoted numerous times but held on to and prepared for life in the field. Later, during picket duty she was confronted by HRG who told her he wanted to help her.

INTERIM WEEK TWO

Chandra Suresh’s Notebook and Computer “Heroes” List

There has been some speculation as to where the list of “Heroes” from Chandra Suresh’s computer originated. Some fans from the forum boards believed that Mr. Bennet (Horned Rimmed Glasses or H.R.G.) assembled this list and that Suresh somehow liberated it from him. Others believed that this list of “genetic anomalies” came from large public databases, like the Human Genome Project. While the first theory is most likely not correct the second is based on Mohinder’s mentioning of this database and merits some consideration. I, however, believe that a third explanation is more likely. I think that the list was actually compiled by Chandra Suresh and that the information and samples within where painstakingly collected by him directly over the years. Supporting evidence to confirm this belief is the notebook found inside Chandra’s computer by Eden and Mohinder. We have seen the inside of the notebook in two episodes (3 “One Giant Leap” and 8 “Seven Minutes To Midnight”) and the pages we have seen clearly show that Chandra collected the samples of DNA (fingernails, hair, etc.) and supplied the information about each test subject. Inside that book are pages and pages of research concerning people with super human abilities. Chandra explains on those pages where the person was from, their age and race and how he obtained the genetic material of each subject. On many of the pages can be seen a small baggy, which contains hair, blood and fingernail samples, all viable resources for extracting genetic material (DNA). I assume that the names on his list are the same names found in this notebook and that the computer listing may be only a single screen of a larger list of individuals. Because this list (see image below) contains mostly names of subjects in the United States we presume that the list must be much larger than the single page we have seen.

“Heroes” Listed in Notebook From Episode Three “One Giant Leap”

The notebook contains what looks like information concerning people with extraordinary powers (“Heroes”) that Suresh has documented. We have attempted to include as much information as we could decipher from the pages that we could view (HD DVR and all) but if anyone can contribute more information than what we have listed we’d like to see it and will include it here with the proper credit.

(At the bottom of the page can be seen a Hindu word or phrase and the drawing of what looks like a foot. This has been translated to “nirala” and the literal translation means “unique.” Someone else (on the forum boards) has identified the foot as the “double helix genetic code which identify link matches.”)

INTERIM WEEK ONE

SYLAR'S WATCH
There has been some debate over Sylar's watch on some of the forum boards. Some believe that Sylar wears two different watches. After viewing them side-by-side I think that there is only one watch and it is a Sylar worn only by Sylar. The above image shows the watch after Chandra Suresh's murder (left) and six months ago (right). The watch on the right is not embedded in a case and covered with a crystal and therefore "looks" different than the other. This difference has been used to argue that there are two different watches. The only real difference that I can see between the two watches is that on the "6 Months" watch, the word "Sylar" is clearly visible. In the other one, where the watch is broken, you can't see where it says "Sylar" because the hands are in the way. The two watches have too many similarities to be different. What they have in common: The ball at the end of the second hand is identical. The minute and hour hands are the same. The triangular pips pointing to the hour numbers are identical and the winding mechanism is identical. They are, in my opinion the same watch.

P.S. Peter's watch, on the other hand, is a Nixon.

Also, there was additional speculation that in Peter's dream sequence that the sound of a ticking clock could be heard. I have watched the episode a number of times and find that the ticking is actually the "blinking" click-click-click of the construction arrow sign "> > >"in the background of the dream. The sound can only be heard when the arrow sign is visible (and just after it leaves the screen). It is not a Sylar sounding watch ticking.

GRAPHIC NOVEL 12

Also, Graphic Novel # 12 "Super-Heroics" was released today (12/12/06) at the NBC Heroes Graphic Novel page.

While in a comma in the hospital, presumably after his dream sequence in "Fallout", Peter struggles literally with his inner self. This issue of the graphic novel resembles a true comic book more than any other previous issue. Peter, and his counterpart, are dressed in familiar super-hero garb (to quote Ando "tights and a cape") and are battling for domination over the other. After the battle the antagonist is revealed and Peter realizes that he has been fighting himself. While we are certain not to see super-heroes in tights and capes in the series this issue gives us an insight into Peter’s emotional state. The fact that he considers himself a good hero is weighed down by the fact that there is potential for both great good and great evil in all people. Peter understands this and fears that he may not be the “good” hero he wants to be. The doubt entertained here is probably something any normal person might experience when found that they possessed an extraordinary ability. I enjoyed this issue for all the above reasons but also because it appealed to the teenager in me. Obviously, after all the thought and analysis required to publish this site I sometimes forget that “Heroes” really is a great deal of fun and presented to us for our entertainment. The graphic novel “Super-Heroics” brought me back 30 years, even if for just a moment of pure comic entertainment, and for that I truly appreciate their efforts.

P.S. Episode 12, which is scheduled to air January 22nd, 2007 is entitled “GODSEND”.

SEASON 1 : CHAPTER ELEVEN: “FALLOUT”

Air Date
Monday, December 4th, 2006 7/8c

NBC Press Release

AS SHOCKING DETAILS ABOUT ISSAC'S NYC NUCLEAR BOMBING PREDICTION ARE REVEALED, THE "HEROES" FACE TRAGEDY AND BETRAYALS -- The tragic events in Texas have sad, serious repercussions for many of the "heroes," their families and friends. Meanwhile, shocking details about the moments leading up to Isaac's predicted New York City nuclear bombing are revealed. Later, Isaac's newest painting has fascinating future implications for a hero in crisis. Suresh takes the first steps along his new path. Matt and F.B.I. Agent Audrey Hanson pursue a break in the Sylar case. Horrified by Jessica's recent actions, Niki makes a tough decision to protect her family.

Re-cap of Episode Chapter : “Fallout”

After Homecoming, Claire and Mr. Bennet return home. H.R.G. tells her that he has known for a long time about her ability. He also tells her that the man who killed Jackie has been taken care of and that because there are others out there like him Zach and Lyle need to be warned to remain silent.

Matt and Audrey visit the crime scene at Union Wells High School and determine that Sylar either had help escaping or disappeared.

Nathan visits an incarcerated Peter who tells him that he is suppose to stop the bomb in New York City. In a dream Sylar tells Peter, “How can you stop what’s coming? You don’t know a thing about power!”

Jessica shoots D.L. in the arm and attempts to shoot him in the head. But he is prepared for the second shot and phases out as it passes through his head. When Jessica comes to the car Micah and D.L. are gone.

H.R.G. confronts Sylar in a bunker inside the Primatech Paper Company. He calls him a watchmaker and Gabriel Gray. Sylar tells him that he “restores timepieces and that he sees how things work. How they tick.” H.R.G. responds by telling him that the infusion of so many alterations to his DNA has corrupted his mind. Sylar threatens Claire and tells H.R.G. that he will take her ability too. Outside the bunker Eden tells H.R.G. that she could persuade Sylar to kill himself and it would then all be over. H.R.G. tells her that her idea will have to wait.

Matt and Audrey attempt to interview Peter and when Matt tries to “read” him is confronted by feedback. Peter reads Audrey’s mind and tells Matt that he must protect Claire.

Mohinder returns to Brooklyn and attempts to warn the FBI that a serial killer is on the loose but is unsuccessful.

Isaac is sober and sketching in his book when Eden comes to see him. She tells Isaac that the cheerleader has been saved and that she is “going off the reservation.” She hands him a cell phone and a Primatech key card so that he can exit the building.

Hiro and Ando make their way to Union Wells High School but are too late. They believe that the cheerleader is dead but Hiro convinces Ando to continue. Hiro utters the new slogan, “Find the artist – stop the bomb!” Isaac then calls Hiro and tells them that they have to meet.

Audrey Hansen interviews Claire and H.R.G. as Matt tries to read their thoughts outside the room. What he doesn’t know is that the Haitian is also nearby blocking and/or deflecting his attempt to read minds.

Jessica and Niki argue over who has the power and who is stronger. Micah finds Jessica and tells her that D.L. is hurt.

Peter is visited by Claire and H.R.G. Mr. Bennet tells Peter that he owes him his life and that he promises to return the favor. Claire’s affect on Peter seems to be wearing off as he appears to become sick (probably from the five story fall.) Claire calls Peter her “hero.”

Jessica attempts to beat D.L. but he gets the drop on her and knocks her down. When Micah is hurt in the scuffle Nike comes back out.

Claire destroys the tapes that Zach had of her and her “accidents.”

At the Greyhound Bus Depot in Midland, Texas Isaac steps off a bus and finds Hiro and Ando waiting for him. Hiro shows him the comic that has not yet been printed. Hiro tells Isaac that he has seen him in the future and that he was lying on the floor dead. Isaac tells Hiro that the man who cuts off heads has been captured.

Claire comes home to find that her brother, Lyle can remember nothing about her ability.

Niki leaves D.L. and confronts a Utah State Trooper. She asks him to arrest her for murder.

Matt and Audrey are staked out at the Primatech paper Company. When H.R.G. and the Haitian come out of the building Matt tries to read them but can only manage a bloody nose and the word “Sylar.” They are otherwise closed off from him.

When Claire calls Zach to meet her she finds out that he too has been mind wiped.

H.R.G. brings food to Sylar who tells him that they are very much alike. They both like to collect special people. H.R.G. tells Sylar that they are going to “take him apart!”

Hiro, Ando and Isaac have taken a room at a hotel in Midland, Texas. Isaac has a blank canvas in front of him. Hiro tells him to concentrate. Isaac’s eyes turn white and he begins to paint!

H.R.G. receives a panicked call from Claire. She suspects that whoever is after her has wiped the minds of both Zach and Lyle. The Haitian enters her room and tells her that her father is the one wiping minds and that he was ordered to do the same to her. For some reason he feels that he should not follow that order and that Claire should pretend to have had her mind wiped.

Isaac finishes his painting and it seems out of place. The painting is of Hiro holding his sword in front of a dinosaur (T-Rex.) Hiro and Ando are confused as they think that Isaac can only paint the future.

Mohinder gets a call from Eden. She tells him that she needs to make things right and that she is going to kill the man who murdered his father.

When Eden confronts Sylar she tells him that she is going to place a gun in the food tray and that he will take it and kill himself with it. He breaks the glass and drags Eden to him with his mind and tells Eden that he is going to take her ability. When she points the gun at him he laughs and tells her that it will not work on him. Instead, she points it at herself and pulls the trigger. Sylar is amazed that she would kill herself to keep him from assimilating her power.

Nathan bails Peter out of jail but as they leave Peter passes out. In another dream he awakens in New York. He meets Mohinder who looks at Peter’s chest and runs away. Matt Parkman, D.L., Micah and Niki also run away from him after looking at his shirt.
Claire runs up to Peter but turns and runs away after looking at his shirt. Nathan, Simone and Isaac also show up as does Hiro and Ando. They all seem happy to see him until they look at his chest. Suddenly, Peter’s fingers begin to glow and then his entire body. Almost as if he was going to explode…

Peter wakes up on the ground outside the Sherriff’s office in Midland, Texas. He tells Nathan that the explosion is his fault. It seems that Peter is dying and Nathan does his best to try and revive him but…

To be continued…

The Symbol

The symbol appears to be a shadow (or an eclipse) of the human DNA helix. The intersecting horizontal lines seem to be markers where the DNA has mutated. This is possibly the super-genome or a “new” or “mutated” protein that identifies the Heroes. It can be found in too many locations (see below) to be a mere coincidence. Is it a calling card to those with special powers? And will they rally around it?
