Super Heroes vs. Super Villians
Well yes.. but remember we haven't been introduced to them as Villians just as "HEROES". Sooo kinda like X-men they are all X-men just some prefer to be part of the bad X-men.

Sylar and what he is doing is definately the antagonsit in the story.

The father of the cheerleader's motivation and goal has yet to be determined. Is he working to save his daughter specifically or is he keeping tabs on the heroes in general while concentrating his efforts on saving his daughter.

The markings and their reason/origins will also play a large part in the story. I am thinking alien manipulation for experimental reasons. The destruction of the city is a by-product of our human inability to control ourselves with these powers (think, radiation guy losing all control).

BTW the hiatus until next year = major suxers

Hiro's whole time travel ability is a "problem." Just because one attempt failed (save the waitress) does not mean his conclusion is valid. The comment above about "save the cheerleader, save the world" is one counter-point. Another complication is how he was able to talk to himself over the phone. Temporal co-existence is a huge ball-of-wax, as testified by the volume of sci-fi literature devoted to the topic.

If he is such a hero why doesn't he attempt travel back to the Las Vegas shoot-out, where he wimped out at that instant, to attempt a save?

Discussing time travel in detail is a mistake for any show. Too many other shows have made this mistake hopefully they will continue to keep the paradoxical aspects of his powers to an absolute minimum.

Doc Brown talked to himself in Back to the Future 2, when he was out by the clock tower and ran into himself, who was working on the clock tower. In both cases, the past characters didn't know they were talking to their future selves and everything was A OKAY

Here is a thinker: what if the cheerleader was not saved at all. "Save the cheerleader, save the world" does not tell you which cheerleader needed to be saved. One cheerleader is still dead. What if the wrong one was saved???


MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!

The possibility that Mohinder's dad is alive crossed my mind before. He could be the brains behind the "bad guys" or, inversely, a captive.
