I love Heroes. And I reckon a big part of the show is about the individual characters as "heroes"
Director Tim Kring hinted that from season 2, he will expand the list of heroes to include people from various countries, backgrounds and abilities.
He will need "someone" to create more heroes for him.
As a fan, I would love to help making some characters for him. I would send the list over and if he sees something he likes, he can use it. I dont need money. All I am asking for is my name on the credit screen.
Of course I know I am not a genius and wont be able to make a big list myself.
This is where you guys can join the party - post your own heroes that you want to see on the show.
If the list is big enough, we will vote for top heroes.
I will do my best to find out how to submit the top list to Tim (or the producer group).

So go and dream up some heroes...

Well I have a hero.
She is a shapeshifter.
She can look any age but prefers that of a early 20's female.
One really interesting characteristic is that she seems to be immortal.
She can't heal like Claire, she has to consciously manipulate a wound closed.
There is more but I'd like not to reveal that here, as I might write a fic about her.

Good grief! Superheroes are popping up like sea monkeys! They keep it up like this and pretty soon it'll be easier to just list the actors not appearing in the show during the credits.

Real name = Kosi Sleepwell
Code name = Dr. Sleepwell
Appearance = he's in his 60s, a kind and softly spoken gentleman. He has silver hair. Medium build, 1.7m tall.
He is Mr. Linderman long term family doctor. He can induce patients with a full sleep + healing.
After a full sleep, many of the client's vitalities will be restored.
The list of his clients are kept confidental. It's not known how many patients he has been treating.
(As the Heroes show reveal more info on Mr Linderman, we can introduce Dr. Sleepwell then)
Dr Sleepwell can absorb all sorts of energy around him like a sponge and convert them into 2 different beams: Sleep inducing one and healing one. They're non fatal. He prefers to mix them. His energy beams work on all living creatures. It has no effect on mechanical machines.
He let the patients lay on a comfortable bed, tell them to put on a helmet that links to a sophisticated looking machine and to relax. In reality, the machine and the helmet do nothing, just looking pretty. There is a pipe in the helmet. He places his hand on the helmet to slowly release the warm energy stream into the patient. They will experience a warm and cosy feeling travelling through their entire body. It feels so comfortable that they fall into sleep shortly after. The healing part kicks in as well. While they sleep, they will have wonderful dreams. The healing energy revitalise the body, it also heals major wounds and fix damages. Fatal wounds require more sessions. Some sickness and diseases can be cured this same way. It can't regrow missing limbs though.
His daily routinne for charging his engergy "battery" is to bath the morning sun (could be anything else really). There is a limit to how much energy he can hold. When fully charge (about 20 minutes), his body will stop taking in energy. Excess energies are released harmlessly back to the environment. His "battery" would last 18 hours, quite enough for a day's work.
If someone attack him with an energy blast, he has 3 options: absorb it totally, reflect it totall or reflect back + his sleep inducing energy. If the beam hits the attacker, it will send him to sleep. He would just lay there helpless.

Following the above sorta template..heres mine
Real Name: Orion R.
Code Name: "The Hunter"
Appearance: Short, pale, athletic. In his low 20's to 30's..Brown hair. Ice cold blue eyes.
Power: Shadow Manipulation
Abilities:
Shadow walking (Creating a shadow on any flat surface, whether the ground or wall and another shadow at the target...Can only be done to places he can see, or remembers)
Shield (Creates a bubble of darkness around him to prevent harm...can be focused on small areas of his body)
Weapon (Can call forth a weapon of darkness, such as a sword..for the brute methods, needle for the precision, or claw..for fun)
Nightmare (Creates absence of light in even the brightest places, also creating of course...pure darkness, which could scare people, or be usefull to get away)
Grasping Darkness (Makes the shadow a solid form, able to secure someone to the ground, or perhaps if wanted...rip one apart)
___________________________________
This character would start as a wealthy Lawyer, who has even been rumored to be defending an alleged crime lord. However, unknown to the majority and very shortly, his victims...He is also a world class assassin. His ruthlessness, accuracy, and ability to track and kill silently before the dawn has earned him the alias "The Hunter." Although he has the resources to use guns and other technology, his preference is his own gift, the favorite being a needle made of darkness...Clean, leaves no evidence.
In order to have any or some of the mastery of his power listed above..He probably manifested over 10 years ago, and due to his abilities, has been very tough for "the company" to track.

Mar 6 2007, 12:43 AM
Name: Chris J.
Location: Long Island, NY
Powers: Absorbs all physical attacks and gets stronger from them. The more you attack the stronger Chris gets and by then it's too late, he's gonna kick your ****** Weakness would be any mental attacks. Never refers back to his own name, if asked who he is he will say "I'm invincible" even if it's not true. He'll egg on his opponents and taunt them claiming that he's superior in order to get them to attack him, since he'll only get stronger if they do. He stays quiet and acts shy and weak(he wants you to think he's a pushover) until threatened when he'll act all egotistical like he can't be destroyed.
I had one storyline which had him encounter and brought down by Eden, but that ended when she died.

Name: Alexander Davis (Brian Davis's brother)
Location: New York, NY
Powers: Psychokinetic, like his brother Brian, Alex can move objects with his mind, however, like Peter he can also mimic others abilities. Unlike Peter he doesn't need to be in contact to mimic that ability. It's just easier if he sees how the ability works to mimic and master it. In his present emotional state it is highly recomended that others keep their distance.
Current location: he is surching for Sylar, his brothers killer. It is currently unknown what his loyalties are. Will he join Peter and Hiro or will he succumb to his hatred and join Sylar?

Real Name= Anton Mercer
Nickname = Shadow.
Location- None fixed
Birthplace= New Orleans
Power = Photon manipulation. (effectively light control)
Anton was, at best, a slacker. He was smart, witty to his friends, but tended to be content with the least extravagant lifestyle, preffering to live what Linderman would have described as a 'happy life.'
This was until a tragic event happened to take most of his family from him (depending on the desire anything from a car accident to Hurricane Katrina can be used as the tragedy)
He grew angry and depressed for a while, when in the famous "ANGER" stage of grief he wanted nothing more than to lash out at God or whoever was 'watching over' the world...and when he felt that way a sudden flash of light went up. To anyone else it probably seemed like lightning. But Anton knew it actually started from him and went UP.
Given his already scientific leanings, and love of heroic myth including comics, he quickly figured out what had happened. It wasn't electicity, there wasn't any sound. It wasn't fire or anything like that. It was light.
As his depression and grief ended, he got a new sensation. Joy, true excitement.
He really was different, in a good way.
He decided to take so much happening in his life as a sign that it was finally time to really make a change, to go on what his favorite author Joseph Campbell called 'the heroes journey'. Not so much looking for fights, or destiny, but to finally look around the outside world, to finally not just be complacent.
His nickname, Shadow, he gave himself, and it's generally how he introduces himself. It serves 3 different purposes.
One, it neatly severs him from his old 'complacent' self, new name for the new person.
Two-It describes one of his favorite tactics when he's forced into a fight. His control of light allows him to shift the wavelenths so that it becomes Infared or Ultaviolet or other shades invisible to the human eye, thus creating darkness (for everyone but him)
And third-It's actually a reference to one of his favorite novels, American Gods.
Should he ever meet some other 'heroes' he will likely rather enjoy the similarities between his status and the Shadow of American Gods journey.

How about this?
Name: Aaron Lacey
Location: Birmingham, England
Age: Slightly older than Micah, but younger than Claire
Power: Matter Manipulation (he can take atoms and move them around and change them - in effect he can change one thing into another).
His powers are a secret to everyone at the time you first meet him - however this turns out to be untrue - people are after him, he doesn't know who, he doesn't know why. They just are...
Aaron's power lets him change stuff like a phone into a torch, or a school textbook into a laptop. He has been found with phones and laptops in school, and has been told off severely many times - for this reason he has a dark side, and it is debateable which side he will turn to.
The reason he had phones and laptops is because while he was thinking about phones or laptops, something of the right size or shape near him changed into it. He has to learn to control his power, while also letting it grow (he cannot change big things or elaborate things yet).
Sorry if that is hard to read - I'm tired...

Mar 6 2007, 12:02 PM
Or this one:
Name: Jack Dayton
Birthplace: Birmingham, England (it may turn out that he is related to Aaron somehow)
Now lives: Somewhere in Russia, and Somewhere in the USA.
Power: Cloning, or duplication (explains where he lives, then)
He developed this skill quite early on, and has been honed it until he reached the point where he could live several lives, although he only leads two at the moment. He can remember what the other him can, and therefore also knows a great deal. He can retrieve his other self at any moment, and send him back to where he was. Being each other, they often get withdrawal symptoms from being apart.
He can also clone objects - he can clone anything apart from animals and humans (other than himself).
In Russia he works as a Russian television writer, having a good grasp of the language, and in the USA, he works as a newspaper editor - being an arty type and good at writing.
In the series, he would begin finding out about his son (Aaron). Also, many of his American memories suddenly vanish, and he decides he has to go to the USA to find out more (either the Haitian is behind this, or he has been killed). In the USA he has a few chance encounters with Aaron and his ex-wife, although he doesn't recognise them until they bump into each other in the airport, both going home. His wife doesn't want anything to do with him, and when her child goes missing, he suspects him.
Is this OK?
edit: Ok, admittidly it is a bit like Niki and D.L. and Micah, but oh well. I was tired.

Name = Silvia Anderson
Code name = the shy girl.
skills/occupation: recently recruited by the FBI.
Appearance: a teenager, fat, short and a face full of pimple. Low self-estem and wants to be skinny.
Power = low level matter control. She can only control the color and transparency of the objects she is touching.
(She's a wimp, I know.)
Her story:
Silvia's puperty caused her so much grief. She gained weight quickly, her hair started to show grey and her face is full of pimple. She tried to cover herself with a hat and long hair but her classmates still noticed the change. She grows to hate her body and wants to simply be invisible. On the Eclipse day, she was starring at her self in the mirror wishing her pimples would disappear. And for a split second it seemed to have disappear. So she concerntrate on it and wish a little harder. After many tries, she found that the pimples are still there, but she can change their color to make them blend in to her face. She was able to change the hair color too. It was only temporary and she didnt know how it happened, but she was happy it simply did.
1 week later, HRG kidnapped her and tagged her but she didnt notice the mark at the back of her neck.
She has been practicing her new found power and became good at it. She found that she can change not just the color but also the transparency of the objects she is touching. She had lots of fun experiment on herself changing the skin color and making her body transparent at various depth/intensities. She embrace the new power.
Matt Parkman (the psychic cop) accidentally bump into her one day and senses that she was special. So he spied on her and saw her use her power. He phoned Audrey and tall her about the new girl. Few days later, the FBI approaches her and wants her to work as a spy for them.
she accepted.
So far, she has been able to utilise her power in the following ways.
- reading letters with opening the envolop (make the envelop transparent)
- reveal the content of safe boxes without opening them. She can pick the lock if so desired.
- turn herself transparent and sneak into secure places undetected.
- helped out with interrogation. One time, the FBI gave a suspect a drowsy-inducing painkiller tablet then have her introduced patches of black spots to his skin. They scared him and he ended up confessing.
- They gave her a gun for self-protection. She often keep it invisible.
- She has yet able to make any object changed color permanently.
Notes:
Her power is classified as utility power and non-fatal. It was triggered as a random mutation.

(This is an old character of mine, modified and repost.)
Origin = Hakka Clan. (second generation mutant)
Name = I dont have a name for this character yet so I will call him Mini-Me.
Heroes slogan / quote: "If it doesnt kill you, it will make you stronger"
Appearence: a man with many faces.
Powers: fast healing, body regeneration, a resistant factor that learns to adapt.
Link to Heroes:
This character started out weak but has many potentials. I am not sure if he will fit in with season one of Heroes. May be introduce him after the Sylar saga.
Story:
Minime started off as a weak mutant boy with the occasional outbust of rage which he didnt understand why. He would occasionally explode with a powerful rage that have him yelling at everyone around him. it seems his body would suck in residual kinetic energies around him and build up inside him like a balloon. He has no control over that, just feel the urge release the blocked energy. Once full, he would involunteerly runs like a beast into the wood, punching, kicking, headbutting, biting and tearing anything within reach. Sometime he stops and beats his chest like an angry ape. He would carry on like that until he is exhausted and calm down, he would goto a sleep. After every outbust espiso, his body would bleed badly but thanks to his healing and regeneration power, he woke up everytime without a scar. What he found interesting is that his trenght increase slightly, and his skin toughen up a little. So after about 10 trips to the wood, his skin had became thicker at various parts. If he tries to punch the tree, his hands would feel fine and it doenst bleed anymore. The same applies to his legs, he can kick all he wants. If he headbutt the tree, he simply bounces back as if his bones were part plastic. As his power grew stronger, his outbust happen less but each espiso would last longer. He started to uproot trees, breaking and tearing them with his hands. One thing people notice but dont tell him is that his body would grew bigger at parts he used most and shrink in parts he used less. So he looks a little out of proportion. He didnt notice that until he dating girls. They would run away from him saying that he looks "weird" and they believe he has plastic surgeries done on him. Out of desperation, MiniMe locked himself in the bed room and uses a knife to cut out the extra buff parts of his body so it would look "normal". It hurted so much he fainted. When he wakes up, he sees many incomplete version of himself being generated slowly from the pieces that he cutted away. He panics. He uses the knife to cut them into much smaller pieces in hope to kill them off, then run out from the room, making sure it's locked behind him. He returned home much later to find the door has been bashed open. There are a many of his clones talking and fighting each other. They all claims to be the original. To his surprise, one of the winning clone bites a loosing clone and all of a sudden 2 of them become one. This resulting clone become slight bigger and stronger. As if realised something, the new clone started to chase the others but they all saw what happened. He got another victim but immediately being bited by an opportunistic clone so he is merged to a new one. While all that is going on, one of the smarter clone sneaks into the bed room, eating up many incomplete parts to build up his power the easy way. Dumbfounded, MiniMe just stand there watching the clones fight. shortly after, only 2 superstrong clones remains with equal strenght. They notice he just stands there like a prey so they rush toward him. He runs but they manage to catch him, each one of them grab one of his hand and start biting hoping to gain more power first..
And 3 beame 1. Minime is not sure if he merged to the other 2 or they merged into him. His memory is intact. He gains the extra knowledges and power from the clones. He also picks up their fighting tactics as well. He stood there for what seems a long time until he realised he has just survived the big scare of his life. Not only that, he now discover a new way to do many things at once : he will utilise his clones.
With practice, he can generating clones by blowing himself up and later recalling them by concertrating. It became easier overtime. He gained the ability to change the clones' face. He gives them names and identities.
He sends clones to work - to generate income + gain corporate information.
He sends clones back to do seminars and courses - to gain knowledge
He sends clones to apprenticeships - to gain skills and certifications.
He sends clones to martial art schools - to improve fighting skills and strenght.
He subjects clones to extreme conditions - to improve resistance and develop immunities.

My first posts! Feel free to use these characters in your fanfictions if you wish, I'm just writing them out for fun in a series.
Real Name: Sati Harshal?
Assumed Name: Sati Harshal
Age: 34?
Birthplace: Lucknow, India?
Appearance: 5' 10" voluptuous Indian woman. Usually wears a long black skirt and
cream-colored sweater.
Location (as of now): Unknown
Power(s): Astral Projection/Duplication/Possession
Background: A mysterious woman apparently employed by the Company, Dr. Sati Harshal has come into contact with several evolved humans, with the intent to recruit or capture them. She has indicated that she knew Dr. Chandra Suresh, the Indian evolutionist who first attempted to explain the emergence of so many evolved humans. Mohinder Suresh has indicated an unfamiliarity with her, though this would not rule out Harshal's claims entirely.
A charming, beautiful woman, Harshal projects an air of sincerity and compassion. This is, however, only a ruse-She is in fact quite cunning and remorseless when it comes to her objectives. She nearly succeeded in capturing Andrew and Ben Stewart, and has apparently abducted a number of other super humans in the past.
Sati Harshal has the ability to Astral project a non-tangible, "spiritual" body, which is by all appearances a copy of herself. She can create multiple numbers of these "astral clones", and is apparently aware of what they know at all times, even while they are out of her line of sight. She has used her astral duplicates to possess other people, coordinating their movements with ruthless efficiency. She is known to have had at least one encounter with the serial killer Sylar, from which she emerged unscathed.
-Real Name: Andrew Stewart
-Assumed Name: Andrew Stewart
-Age: 19
-Birthplace: Columbia, SC
-Appearance: 6' 0" average-build caucasian male. Curly brown hair, blue eyes, glasses.
-Occupation: College student
-Location (as of now): New York City, NY (formally of Denver, CO)
-Powers: Invulnerability, super strength
-Background: Andrew Stewart's powers, like many other evolved persons, manifested during a time of trauma. For him, it was the death of his mother in a car accident. She had been driving the then-eight year old Andrew to a doctor's appointment, when a drunk driver slammed into them. Andrew survived completely unharmed, while his mother died from her injuries in front of him.
Traumatized by the event, Andrew grew up a depressed, social outcast, unwilling to let anyone get close to him in order to try and distance himself from the pain of his survivor's guilt. He would cover this by acting like the class clown, joking, laughing and pranking for recognition and attention, but not of the sort that would risk people becoming close to him.
However, he made a few close friends over the years who slowly broke down his defenses, and by the time he graduated high school was on his way to a normal, socially adjusted life.
This changed significantly when he was forced to expose his powers, when he shoved a child out of the way of an onrushing car and was struck. Rather than being killed, however, the car was totalled and Andrew was left, once more, completely unharmed, an event noted in one of Isaac Mendez's paintings before it occurred. The event was in public and led Andrew to try and go into hiding.
He was contacted by the Company through Dr. Sati Harshal, another "special person", who attempted to recruit him for their work-In reality, to study his abilities and keep him contained.
However, his brother Ben, also developing powers, was contacted by on of Isaac Mendez's associates, and was able to find and warn his brother in time for them to escape.
Andrew Stewart's powers are invulnerability, and a degree of superhuman strength. It is thought that his body can "harden", perhaps through the use of psionic energies when he is in danger, to the point that he becomes immune to damage that would kill or seriously injure anyone else. His enhanced strength is likely a by-product of his invulnerability, the force behind the reinforcement of his body also increasing it's mass and the power behind his movements, though it has only served to give him enough leverage to stay in one place when struck by, for example, a car.
He has learned how to activate his super strength at will, but his invulnerability is still instinctive, though he has been working with Peter Petrelli on mastering that power as well.
Real Name: Benjamin "Ben" Stewart
Assumed Name: Benjamin Stewart
Age: 17
Birthplace: Columbia, SC
Appearance: 5'10" light-build caucasian male, curly brown hair, brown eyes.
Location (as of now): New York City, NY
Power(s): Super Senses, Enhanced Memory, Visual Precognition.
Background: Where his older brother Andrew struggled through school as an average student, Benjamin Stewart was a child prodigy, easily graduating at the top of his high school class, early, with numerous honors and scholarships awaiting him. An avid chess player and musician, Ben most enjoyed tormenting his older brother and mocking his inadequacies, calling him "the ****** brother". His cold and disagreeable personality only made it worse.
In truth, Ben blamed his brother for their mother's death, and grew into abusing him as a way of coping. He also felt the need to exceed and outshine his brother because he felt their father favored Andrew over him, despite Ben's greater accomplishments. It was not until the brothers had a heart to heart later in life about their feelings that they managed some reconcillation, though they are still somewhat distant.
Benjamin Stewart has several unique abilities, most stemming from his eyes, though he can rarely use more than two at the same time. He possesses multi-spectrum vision, allowing him to see through solid objects and in infrared/ultraviolet. He can also adjust this ability to give himself near 360 degree vision, though this causes him a considerable strain and he rarely uses it. His eyes also have telescoptic vision, letting him "zoom" in on anything in his range and see it perfectly. In conjuction with these abilities, Ben can memorize anything he reads and understand it without effort, an ability he has been unconciously using since his mother's death.
Finally, he possesses what is called "Visual Precognition". He can "see" events and actions in his line of sight several seconds before they occur, enhancing his reflexes and allowing him to predict the movements of his enemies. This ability was instrumental in allowing Ben and his brother to escape Sati Harshal's army of possessed people. He predicted and anticipated her movements, and directed his brother to strike accordingly with his super strength.

Real Name: Unknown
Assumed Name: Electrostatic
Powers: Can manipulate electrical fields. This can be manifested in projection of elecricity, EMP blasts, manipulation of electrical signals in modern devices, ability to magnetize objects (resembles telekinesis, but less controllable) and limited flight (based on the magnetic ability).
Age: 20
Birthplace: Detroit
Appearance: 5'6'' Muscular Caucasian, with brown eyes and slicked -back brown hair. Usually wears a button-down shirt, and a light jacket.
Location: Continental USA, unknown
Story:
Grew-up in a middles-class neighborhood in Detroit. Abilities did not manifest until he was 16 years old. Following a concert downtown, his family was attacked by muggers. His father was injured and his mother was about to be raped. He grabbed one of the attackers to pull them away. They were electricuted to death. Out of fear the rest of the muggers ran away. The family returned home, but the police were lokking for him. The local gang lord did not like his men dying, so bribed the police. To save him his parents gave him money and sent him to the airport. He was always interested in India, so took a flight to LA and then a connecting one to Mumbai.
He was fascinated by the abilities of Yogis. He began to study with a group and learned how to control his gift. After a year, he sneaked across the border with China and entered Tibet. There he studied with Buddhist masters, who hid him in their monastary. After seven months with them, the Chinese army was ordered to raid the province. The monks meditated and prayed, while the soldiers beat and raped the people below. He couldn't stand by and let it happen.
He left the monastary and descended the mountain. He slowly crept through the nearby village, looking for a way to help. Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed into the village, carrying rifles and torches. Their generic uniforms made them look like one massive entity, contracting and expanding between the homes. Three of the soldiers ran into the hovel he was standing by. Shortly screams resounded from within. Instinctively he lept through the window and was facing the backs of the three men. They had a mother and her two children cornered. The father was lying by the door, with two bullet holes in his chest. The men turned around, the center one had his uniform half-way off, while the other two raised their rifles. He magnetized the rifles and flung them away. While the men were still in shock, he bum rushed them. The one on the right crashed into the wall, unconscious. He punched the center one and turned to face the third. The man had a knife and was thrusting it at him. He turned aside, grabbbed the soldiers arm, and shocked him. The soldier was thrown accross the room. Now he faced the man with his pants around his ankles. He knew exactly what he had intended to do to the woman and her children. He grabbed the man by the neck and dragged him outside. He knew he had to make sure no one came back to bother these people. He screamed at the top of his lungs, to get as many of the soldiers to look his way. He raised the man in the air and began to levitate himself. While he was three feet off the ground, he showed them something they would never forget. He electrified his entire body. The soldier looked into his eyes and only saw purple electicity looking back. An instant later the man was engulfed in the purple lightning. His body quivered and his screams made the other soldiers move back. He boomeed in Chinese, " Come back this way and I will come to where you sleep and do much worse to you." He dropped the man, who was dead. The soldiers just stared at him blankly. He emitted sparks from his hands and that was the only encouragement that they needed. They fled in sheer terror. He didn't like what he just did, but it was the only way. He had seen these people before and knew they only responded to force.
The people of the village starred at him, because they were also afraid. As he slinked away, a little girl ran out of the house and gave him a hug. That was all he needed. He longed to see his family. He left, without saying good-bye to the monks, who would not want to see him after what he did anyways. He trekked back accross the border and went to the nearest international airport. He had no money and no ID. There was no way he was getting on a plane, legally. He walked to the teller and placed his hands on the desk. He told the lady a fake name. She said he wasn't in the system. While she checked again, he focused on the screen, rearranging the signals to make the name appear on the it. She printed off the ticket and he boarded his flight. An attractive Indian woman sat down next to him and got a static shock. It gave him a great idea for a name. Electrostatic. He laughed out loud. The woman looked at him with a grin. This was going to be a good flight.

This character was actually in a dream I had...shows I've been watching Heroes to much.
The dream was actually a nightmare and this character was the thing chasing me.
Real Name: Unknown
Assumed Name: Xero
Birthplace: Unknown
Appearance: About six feet tall. He looks old, in his sixty's or seventies. He is skinny, almost skelatal. His skin white with a tinge of blue. When he breathes, you can "see his breath" even though it could be warm outside. Wispy white hair hangs about his face. His eyes are almost colorless, they are cold light blue.
Location (as of now): Unknown
Powers: The ability to manipulate frost and cause blizzards or any other kind of cold weather. He can make the temperture plunge to sub-zero temperatures. Where ever he walks frost follows him and gathers around where he is.
Story: No one knows where Xero comes from or what his intentions are. He is a feared killer, putting his victims in an instantaneous deep freeze. When he approaches the temperature drops dramatically, even on a hot summer day. When he has killed them he signs his name with blood on the snow he left behind. He is very dangerous because it is hard to get near him without freezing.

alright for those of you who have seen my fanfics this'll seem familiar, otherwise, take heed.
Name: Rev. Andrew Parsons
Power: Necropathy (Talking to the Dead)
location: Salem, Massacheusetts
Use of Powers: Has an ability to communicate with the dead and can do so, but He can use the powers of a dead evolved human as if they were his own (effectively a form of posession) and use those. This does come at a price however, as it means that any agendas the dead person have could be accomplished by them as they now have Andrews body to do these things with.
and another
Name: Nathan Koehler
Power: Electromagnetism
Location: Sydney Australia
Use of Powers: think Magneto, just more ethically sound.

From the Heroes RPG "End of the World", by Inner-Demon:
CHARACTER SHEET-
Name: Andrew J. Stewart
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Hometown: Denver, Colorado
Clothing: Orange jacket, black undershirt, orange pants, black tennis shoes.
Hair Color/Style: Brown, curly and rather messy.
Build/Height: Average build/5'10"
Personality: Something of an daydreamer, often staring into space. With most people he's friendly and cheerful. Will sometimes say random things and acts like a clown on occassion. Bit of a goofball, but more observant than he lets on and very intelligent. In combat, while using his power he's immensely focused, ruthless, and displays a cunning strategic and tactical mind. He also enjoys cracking jokes and banter while fighting, which makes it all the more surreal.
History: The son of a professor of mathematics at Colorado State University, Andrew Stewart's powers first manifested when he was 8. His mother was driving him to a doctor's appointment, when a drunk driver rammed into them and crashed the car into a lightpost. Andrew's ability (self-duplication) created duplicates of himself that served as airbags, saving his life.
Unfortunately, his mother died from her injuries, and Andrew was trapped for over two hours with her body. After this, he became very detached from real life, reading, writing, playing video games, and often simply walking long distances alone. He had a few friends, but his trauma made it difficult for him to interact with others significantly.
All that changed, however, when he entered high school and learned how to use his powers at will. His detached nature, classified as ADHD, was in fact the result of his brain chemisty adapting for his self-duplication power. Since he was linked to each of his clones in a kind of "psychic network", knowing and feeling everything they did, he would need to be able to process an immense amount of information. Once he began cloning himself, his brain now functioned properly and he became an otherwise normal, socially-adjusted teenager.
Unfortunately for him, his therapist (Dr. Sati Harshal) worked for the Company, and had been monitoring Andrew ever since his mother's death. When he changed seemingly overnight, she waited for a time before confronting him about his powers. He admitted it, and she earned his
trust by revealing her own power (astral projection). This done, he was soon captured by the Company and became a prisoner/lab rat for the next year, his family being informed that he'd taken an overseas studying scholarship and would be out of contact for quite some time.
After the Explosion, he was one of hundreds of "specials" located by the federal government and imprisoned at the Moab Penitentiary, later being freed by Hiro Nakamura and Peter Petrelli in their infamous break-in.
He has been a part of the Resistance ever since, serving them with information gathering, communications, and manpower. He wears orange because it makes it easier to track his clones, its his favorite color, and it's the same thing worn by his favorite anime character Naruto, who can also duplicate himself.
Extraordinary Ability: Andrew has the power of self-duplication, able to create multiple, living clones of himself all psychically linked to his mind and under his command. The Company worked for over a year to try and understand the means by which he accomplishes this, but it is
still difficult to define. It seems to be a combination of advanced cellular mitosis, and space-time manipulation, considering that all of his clones are exact duplicates, right down to their clothing.
All of Andrew's duplicates possess a copy of his memories and have a certain degree of self-determination, but are usually rendered part of a hivemind with the original in control. The hivemind, however, is limited to a certain distance. When clones leave it they are disconnected
and operate on their own, and when they return they automatically reconnect and whatever they
have seen is distributed to the rest of the network. His duplicates are just as fragile as he is and can be killed, their memories and experiences being downloaded back to the original-Including their last moments. Too many dying at once can cause him to suffer a neural overload.
When a clone is killed they seemingly "pop" out of existence, leaving no trace that they were there. This suggests that the duplicates are composed of a less-stable form of matter than normal humans.
Andrew has demonstrated the ability to create almost a dozen clones at once, though when he tries to create more than that at one time he becomes significantly fatigued. Thus, he usually just duplicates himself exponentially. His clones can each create one, perhaps two more clones at a time, but are incapable of anything beyond this. He always has a few
either training, reading or some other activity-As a result he has amassed a signficant amount of information and expertise in a wide variety of fields. A side effect of his ability is that because of the extra processing power, while connected in a hivemind he and his clones have much faster
reflexes, more agility, and better coordination.
