'''Micah Sanders''' is the son of [[Niki Sanders]] and [[D.L. Hawkins]]. Micah is exceptionally intelligent, and cares very much for his deceased parents. He has a strong moral compass, and though he has occasionally made [[Micah's money|less-than-moral choices]], he believes that there is a clear division between right and wrong. Micah coupled his sense of morality with his [[technopathy|ability to talk to machines]] to help other [[evolved humans]] as a person known as '''Rebel'''. As "Rebel", he helped save many people with [[abilities]] from being hunted by [[Danko]] and other [[DHS]] agents.

Having a strong moral compass (though he has occasionally made [[Micah's money|less-than-moral choices]]), Micah believes there is a clear division between right and wrong. To this end, Micah (under the alias of '''REBEL'''), coupled with his own sense of morality and his [[ability]], has set about contacting, warning, advising and leading [[evolved human]] fugitives all over the world. With the help of [[Leona Mills]], he created an underground railroad for evolved human fugitives for them to escape being hunted down and captured by the [[Department of Homeland Security]]. The underground railroad is known as "[[Ellen]]", and is operated by [[LAWR]] and at least one other team under his leadership. He began it because of the capture of his family. After the [[revelation of evolved humans]], Micah became known as Hero Truther, a mysterious figure spreading the truth about evos. He was eventually captured by [[Renautas]] agents and used to spread disinformation before being rescued by [[Carlos Gutierrez]] at which point he spread the truth about the [[Odessa Unity Summit|June 13th bombing]] and set out to help stop [[the H.E.L.E.]] He is an [[evolved human]] with the ability to [[Technopathy|control and manipulate technology]].

[[image:Powers monica piano 3.jpg|thumb|right|Micah helps [[Monica]] master her [[Adoptive muscle memory|new ability]].]]
[[Niki]] and [[Micah]] leave [[Las Vegas]], where Niki brings Micah to live in [[New Orleans]]. Niki tells him not to use his powers, and that while she has to leave one more time, when she gets back, they'll be together. Niki and Micah approach [[The Dawsons' home|a house]] and meet [[Nana]]. Micah has some troubles with his cousin [[Damon]], who wants to watch a wresting match on pay-per-view. Micah uses [[technopathy|his ability]] to gain access to pay-per-view, so Damon can watch the wrestling. [[Monica]] enters, and begins to get angry, but Damon tells her that Micah is a genius and rigged the cable. Micah apologizes, and Monica reminds him that [[Niki|his mother]] asked her to look after him.

Later, Micah finds that Monica plays the piano very fast, though she only saw Micah playing the same notes for a few minutes. Micah tells her he thinks he knows what happened with the piano. He goes to the television and puts his hand on it, and it [[technopathy|turns on and off]], explaining how he rigged the pay-per-view. He tells her he thinks it runs in the family, since [[D.L.]] could [[phasing|walk through walls]], and his [[Niki|mother]] is also special. He shows her a ''[[9th Wonders!]]'', and points out [[St. Joan]], the [[muscle mimicry|muscle mimic]] who can do whatever she sees. Micah tells her that maybe they should test it out, and after duplicating double-dutch and kung-fu, the two keep their abilities a secret.

[[image:Uh oh.jpg|thumb|left|Micah loses [[Niki Sanders|his mother]].]]

Micah sees his mother, [[Niki]], for the first time since coming to [[New Orleans]].

Micah decides to give her something that will give her hope, his deceased father [[D.L.]]'s medal, and goes to find his backpack only to find it is gone. Damon explains to Micah that it was stolen. Micah is approached late at night by Monica who says she will get the backpack. Monica and Micah sneak out to the house where Micah's backpack is, then Monica breaks in and finds the backpack. However, the house is broken into and they find Monica, throwing her into the back of a van. Scared, Micah runs, leaving her there with them. Micah tells [[Niki]] that [[Monica]] has been captured by a street gang. They leave to go help her. They follow a GPS signal emitted by Monica's cell phone to find her location at a burning warehouse.

==[[Heroes Evolutions]]==
===[[The Agent]]===
In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 402|chapter 2 of The Agent]], Rebel contacts [[Rachel Mills]] via text messages after she discovers hidden messages from Rebel on various websites. Rebel sends Rachel a video file showing Rachel using her [[teleportation|ability]] at [[Pinehearst Headquarters|Pinehearst]], then warns Rachel not to tell [[Danko]] what she just discovered. In an additional text message, Rebel claims to need Rachel to do something.

In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 403|chapter 3 of The Agent]], Rachel does something for Rebel the day before [[Peter Petrelli]] breaks into [[Danko's apartment]]. What she does causes her to be late to meet up with [[Danko]] and her partner, [[Jason]].

A couple days later, while Danko informs Rachel and Jason of an upcoming mission in [[Costa Verde, CA|Costa Verde]], Rachel again receives text messages she assumes are from Rebel. However, after Danko and Jason leave her by herself, she throws her cell phone into a trash can without reading them.

While waiting for a security camera footage to be streamed to Jason's cell phone in Costa Verde, Rachel gets a text message from Rebel on Jason's phone and deletes them after reading them. The message is "DONT DO THIS RACHEL.". Afterwards, Rebel deletes security camera footage showing Alex's car and a passenger that Rachel thinks might be [[Claire]] off Jason's phone. Rebel then texts "STOP NOW OR ILL HAVE TO TELL", and Rachel deletes that message just as Jason reaches and grabs his phone back. Jason then discovers that the video file has been deleted off both his phone and their organization's server as well.

Later, Rachel is in the front room of Liliane's house, and she spots Rebel scrolling a message in caps on the bottom of a TV screen in the living room while a kid's movie continues playing on it. The message contains the word "RACHEL" and it gradually begins scrolling faster. Rachel leaves before the family questions her about the message.

In Alex's apartment, Rachel finds a laptop that loads Alex's e-mails when Jason boots it up. However, Rebel begins deleting the messages. Rachel then spots what she thinks is a webcam on the laptop and says hello to Rebel. Rebel responds by sending a new e-mail to the in-box with the subject line "Leave now Rachel!". Jason then turns off the laptop and ejects the battery before Rebel can completely erase everything.

In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 403|chapter 4 of The Agent]], Rebel replaces a message sent from headquarters to Rachel's and Jason's mission laptop with a different message asking for help and warning Rachel that a man might give away her secret. Jason then grabs the laptop before Rachel can stop him, but the message have been changed into a bunch of garbled text. After showing Rachel the garbled text as well, he gets the message resent. While the laptop is still pointed towards Rachel, new messages then appear at the bottom of the screen instructing Rachel to "BREAK EACH LINE AT 60 CHARACTERS" in order to read the latest message. When she does that, the garbled text becomes an ASCII photo of [[Eric Doyle]]. A second message, "GET TO HIM FIRST RACHEL", can be found by putting together the lowercase letters in the garbled text, but it is unknown as to whether Rachel realized it existed.

In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 406|chapter 6 of The Agent]], [[Anna]] tells Rachel that Rebel needs her to keep working with her organization. She also informs Rachel that Rebel is worried [[Janey Pierce|Janey]] might hunt for her brother's killer.

In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 407|chapter 7 of The Agent]], Rachel finds a report on what happened at the restaurant in a daily intelligence briefing. She notes that location of the restaurant has been altered to show as Oregon and suspects that Rebel made that happen. Later, Anna is sent by Rebel to assist the fugitives threatened by the government operation on an [[abandoned office building]] in [[New York City]]. After Anna and Rachel encounter the leader of the fugitives in the building, [[Abe]], Anna tells him that Rebel sent them. Abe replies that he has been waiting a long time, but that no one came. He then points to a crude symbol scratched on the wall that appears to be a hammer surrounded by four stars.

In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 408|chapter 8 of The Agent]], Anna tells Rachel that REBEL always takes care of removing her from the government's records when. Later, Rachel sees the fugitives fleeing towards a truck bearing the same symbol she saw in the plant nursery. After Anna and Rachel successfully rescue the fugitives that were in the [[abandoned office building]], Anna receives messages from Rebel. He sends her a huge list containing cries for help from fugitives in trouble. The message also contains status reports, e-mail addresses, and links to websites. Subsequent messages from Rebel tell Anna that Ellen is in trouble, but that he wants their next priority to be helping someone in the circus.

==[[Evolved Human]] [[Technopathy|Abilities]]==
Micah has the [[ability]] to [[Technopathy|manipulate electronic and/or mechanical items]]. He can manipulate technology whether broken or working.

==Notes==
==Notes==
* In the unaired pilot, Micah is seen talking on the phone with the ticket sales office of a train station about a trip taking "a couple of hours". It is unclear where he is planning to go or why (he did offer to buy the tickets when he arrived at the station) because he is interrupted by Tina and is forced to hang up. Later, Micah has run off, along with $300 from Tina's purse. It should be noted in Tim Kring's commentary that Noah was simply ad-libbing.(''[[In His Own Image]]'')

Micah Sanders is the son of Niki Sanders and D.L. Hawkins. Micah is gifted with extraordinary intelligence, and cares very much for his deceased parents. Having a strong moral compass (though he has occasionally made less-than-moral choices), Micah believes there is a clear division between right and wrong. To this end, Micah (under the alias of REBEL), coupled with his own sense of morality and his ability, has set about contacting, warning, advising and leading evolved human fugitives all over the world. With the help of Leona Mills, he created an underground railroad for evolved human fugitives for them to escape being hunted down and captured by the Department of Homeland Security. The underground railroad is known as "Ellen", and is operated by LAWR and at least one other team under his leadership. He began it because of the capture of his family. After the revelation of evolved humans, Micah became known as Hero Truther, a mysterious figure spreading the truth about evos. He was eventually captured by Renautas agents and used to spread disinformation before being rescued by Carlos Gutierrez at which point he spread the truth about the June 13th bombing and set out to help stop the H.E.L.E. He is an evolved human with the ability to control and manipulate technology.

Character History

Season One

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Micah Sanders: Season One History.

Micah repairs his computer when his mother tells him to get his things and to leave with her. They go to his school so his mother can talk to his principal. When they leave, Niki drops him off at Tina's house where Micah waits a long time for her return. When Niki finally picks him up, she takes him home before taking him to the desert and eventually to his grandmother's house. He tells his mother he believes his father is innocent. Back at Tina's he reveals to Niki that he knows how she makes a living, and prefers it over what she is about to do.

Micah's family is reunited.

When the two return home, D.L. arrives and fights with Jessica, taking Micah after he knocks her out. Driving away, the two meet Hiro and Ando while saving a woman. That night, Micah uses a broken payphone to call his mother, instead getting Jessica, until D.L. stops him. Micah persists that they should go back for Niki, but D.L. initially refuses until Micah tells him about Jessica. However, Jessica is already present and shots at D.L. who phases to survive. After Jessica hurts Micah, Niki regains control and turns herself in to the police.

Micah then begins living with his father. Soon, he visits Niki in jail and later takes money from an ATM for his father. Niki is soon released and the family is finally reunited.

However, soon a woman poses as his mother introducing him to Linderman, who wants Micah's help. Micah leaves with Linderman. He soon realizes that someone is impersonating his mother, and tries to escape. However, Candice uses her power to keep him confined. The next day, she uses him to cause Nathan Petrelli to win in the election. Micah complies and then is taken back to the room by Candice. A day later, Niki comes to his rescue and the two go find D.L. who is hurt near Mohinder and Molly. He uses his ability to activate a broken elevator allowing them to escape to Kirby Plaza where they witness the showdown, and finally the explosion. Two days later he chats with Hana about D.L.'s condition.

Season Two

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Micah Sanders: Season Two History.

Micah helps Monica master her new ability.

Niki and Micah leave Las Vegas, where Niki brings Micah to live in New Orleans. Niki tells him not to use his powers, and that while she has to leave one more time, when she gets back, they'll be together. Niki and Micah approach a house and meet Nana. Micah has some troubles with his cousin Damon, who wants to watch a wresting match on pay-per-view. Micah uses his ability to gain access to pay-per-view, so Damon can watch the wrestling. Monica enters, and begins to get angry, but Damon tells her that Micah is a genius and rigged the cable. Micah apologizes, and Monica reminds him that his mother asked her to look after him.

Later, Micah finds that Monica plays the piano very fast, though she only saw Micah playing the same notes for a few minutes. Micah tells her he thinks he knows what happened with the piano. He goes to the television and puts his hand on it, and it turns on and off, explaining how he rigged the pay-per-view. He tells her he thinks it runs in the family, since D.L. could walk through walls, and his mother is also special. He shows her a 9th Wonders!, and points out St. Joan, the muscle mimic who can do whatever she sees. Micah tells her that maybe they should test it out, and after duplicating double-dutch and kung-fu, the two keep their abilities a secret.

Micah loses his mother.

Micah sees his mother, Niki, for the first time since coming to New Orleans. Niki explains that she has a virus, but that is it not contagious and that Doctor Suresh is doing everything he can to find a cure for her. Micah decides to give her something that will give her hope, his deceased father D.L.'s medal, and goes to find his backpack only to find it is gone. Damon explains to Micah that it was stolen. Micah is approached late at night by Monica who says she will get the backpack. Monica and Micah sneak out to the house where Micah's backpack is, then Monica breaks in and finds the backpack. However, the house is broken into and they find Monica, throwing her into the back of a van. Scared, Micah runs, leaving her there with them. Micah tells Niki that Monica has been captured by a street gang. They leave to go help her. They follow a GPS signal emitted by Monica's cell phone to find her location at a burning warehouse. Niki helps Monica escape with Micah's backpack, but Micah and Monica watch the building explode with Niki still inside.

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Micah Sanders: Season Three History.

Tracy Strauss goes to New Orleans to search for Niki Sanders. She finds Niki's funeral, and when she tries to leave she is approached by Micah. Micah mistakes her for his mother but quickly realizes that she is not. He takes her to his room and Tracy explains that she does not know why she and Niki look so much alike. Micah asks her if she is "special" and Tracy refuses to answer. Micah reveals his mother's power and his own, before getting Tracy the information he needs.

Two months later, he communicates with Monica, who has become St. Joan, a vigilante. Micah helps her evade the police and overhears her capture at the hands of government agents. Micah returns home and finds that the entire Dawson family has been captured. He tracks them to a plane and then finds the crash site. He comes across Sparrow Redhouse, who he connects with. He and Sparrow are attacked by some government agents and narrowly escape capture. At a bus stop, Sparrow promises to help Micah. After finding a base of operations, Micah communicates with Sparrow and West and gets them to fly to London, to save a family that is under attack. They return with Abigail, and the Rebel team is formed. Micah leads a breakout from the Building 26 compound, overseeing his team as they bust out Nana and Damon. Before he can join them, he is captured by Thompson Jr., who demands his help in locating Sabine Hazel. Micah tricks him and alerts his team, who rescue him.

Micah obeys Tracy's commands and makes it rain.

Micah then frees Tracy from Building 26 and attempts to escape Washington with her. When Danko's men catch up with them, Micah learns that Tracy is nothing like Niki. Tracy makes up for hurting Micah, giving her life to ensure his safety. The Rebel team heads to India to get Molly Walker. Micah begs Molly for her help and they infiltrate a train loaded with prisoners. Micah and Abigail are captured and then released following a train crash. After learning where Monica is, Micah leads his team to an abandoned hospital but is sidetracked before he can reunite with Monica. He comes face-to-face with Sylar, who he manages to convince to help him. Sylar fools Danko and Micah sleeps at his apartment. When he sees that Sylar is having identity problems, he offers some help but is thrown out. Later, Micah meets with Angela Petrelli and Leona Mills. He reunites Leona with Rachel and then leaves to an unspecified location.
