What Happened
The search for “Patient Zero” began last night with the airing of NBC’s new drama “Heroes.” This program is a non-linear mystery surrounding a number of gifted people with rare abilities who come together to prevent the predicted destruction of the world by nuclear devastation.
These “Heroes” are an unlikely group but to me were very compelling and totally believable and connected in many odd ways. (See below) We meet Nathan and Peter Petrelli. Nathan, who is running for Congress, also has the ability to fly. Peter, a hospice nurse, may also have this same ability but his real power has yet to be identified. We meet a psychic painter named Isaac Mendez who depicts the end of the world in his art and predicts the ruin of New York City in one of his paintings. We encounter Mr. Deveaux, a dying patient and his daughter Simone. Simone is in a relation with Isaac Mendez and Peter Petrelli is caring for a bedridden Mr. Deveaux. We then are acquainted with Mohinder Suresh who is the stories narrator. His father was the original researcher who was tracking “Patient Zero” and who was, presumably, murdered in that attempt. We see Niki Sanders and her son, Micah. Niki is “blessed” with a doppelganger that protects her (and can kill) and Micah may be a super-genius. We are also introduced to Hiro Nakamura who can bend space-time and teleport from one location to another. And we are also introduced to Claire Bennett who has the ability to rapidly regenerate her body after any life-threatening injury. Throughout the story we see the mysterious Mr. Bennett who is following Mohinder and may be out to capture the Heroes to use for his own plans.
