Maya Herrera is an evolved human from Santo Domingo who made her way to New York City to meet Chandra Suresh in hopes that he could help her with her ability, which she believed to be a curse. She was originally on the run with her now deceased brother because they were both wanted for accidental murder. She lived with Mohinder, waiting for a way to get rid of her ability until he attacked her as a result of his ability, so she got someone else to do the job. She now lives in New Jersey trying to lead a normal life.

Upon This Rock

Maya's name appears in Noah's files.

Evolved Human Abilities

Maya and Alejandro both seem to believe that Maya is responsible for causing the deaths of people around them. They believe that they need to get to New York, where there is a doctor who can help her. Since they have been reading a copy of Activating Evolution, they are presumably seeking Chandra Suresh. (Four Months Later...)

When Alejandro finds Maya after she is kidnapped by some "coyotes", everyone else in the truck has died; their eyes have spilled black tears.

Maya's virulent ability manifests when she begins leaking black liquid from the eyes. Then, her guide to cross the border dies just like the coyotes. However, Alejandro is somehow able to reverse the condition, by gripping Maya's hands tight and praying. The guide comes back to life and flees, and all the black liquid is absorbed into Alejandro's eyes (Lizards). Maya later learns to reverse the effects of her ability without Alejandro's ability. (Truth & Consequences)

At long last, Maya's ability is taken away by Arthur Petrelli. (Eris Quod Sum)

Heroes Reborn App

Prior to Heroes Reborn starting, the Heroes Reborn app was released with a video summary of Maya's history. The summary included:

Ability: poison emission
At her brother's wedding, Maya Herrera discovers a terrible secret -- and a terrible power. (Four Months Ago...)
Maya is taken with Sylar, until she learns he killed her brother. (Powerless)
Cursed with a toxic power, Maya turns to geneticist Mohinder Suresh. (The Butterfly Effect)
Maya makes a haunting discovery: Suresh is experimenting on himself and others. (Angels and Monsters)
Maya finds relief when Arthur Petrelli takes her powers. (Eris Quod Sum)

Memorable Quotes

-Maya and her brother [[Alejandro]] are running for their lives to make their way to [[New York City]] so they can find [[Chandra|Dr. Suresh]]. They hire a [[coyote]] to take them closer to America, but the two get separated, and every one around Maya [[poison emission|dies mysteriously]]. When Alejandro catches up to his sister, he finds her eyes filled with black tears. Later, the two make it to Guatemala and try to get into Mexico. However, more complications occur, and Maya kills [[Nidia]], their guide into Mexico. Alejandro comes to Maya's side, and [[Alejandro's ability|makes the black tears disappear]]. Nidia recovers, and leaves the two to their own fate.
-The twins make their way closer to America, but Alejandro is caught breaking into a car. He is arrested, and Maya pleads with the police to free him. When they do not concede, she uses her ability to set Alejandro free, and an [[Derek|American]] offers them his car to help get to America. On their way to America, they find a man in the middle of the road. They take him into the car, and find that his name is [[Gabriel Gray]]. He tells the twins that he know Dr. Suresh and will take them to [[Mohinder|him]], because he needs his help as well.
-After leaving Derek in Mexico, Gabriel, Alejandro and Maya make their way to the American border, but are ambushed by a [[Citizen's Border Patrol|border patrol]]. While the Border Patrol harasses the twins and Sylar, Alejandro and Sylar begin to yell at Maya, which upsets her. Her eyes turn black and the men fall down as Sylar holds Alejandro back from using [[Alejandro's ability|his ability]], allowing them to escape. Safely within the U.S., Alejandro and Sylar fight, and Maya separates the two. Maya tells her brother she had to do what she did because it was necessary. Alejandro calls her a killer, blaming Sylar. Alejandro then tells Maya that she needs to pick between him and Sylar. She tells him that she needs both of them. In [[Cook Lake, VA]], Sylar tries to get Maya to learn how to control her [[power]]. He starts to make Maya angry by telling her how much her brother, [[Alejandro]], hates her because Maya killed [[Gloria]] and Alejandro gave up his life for Maya. Even though Maya claims it was an accident, she gets emotional, and begins to [[Maya's ability|cry black tears]]. However, at Sylar's urging, Maya manages to take control of her ability. After Sylar kills Alejandro, he lets Maya think Alejandro has gone off alone.  Maya then leaves to [[New York, NY|New York]] with Sylar to find [[Mohinder|Suresh]].
-After arriving in New York, Mohinder tells Maya that Sylar is a killer, but she admits that she has killed herself. When Sylar takes Mohinder at gunpoint, Mohinder tells Maya that Sylar is a "monster." Distressed, Maya's ability takes over, which affects Mohinder, Sylar, and [[Molly]]. Unwilling to kill the man who could cure her and an innocent girl, Maya controls her ability. Sylar forces them all to [[Isaac's loft|Mohinder's lab]] at gunpoint, making Maya and Molly sit down on a bed while Mohinder treats him. Maya tells Molly about her brother [[Alejandro]]. When Molly offers to [[clairvoyance|find]] him, she says that he "isn't anywhere," meaning that he is dead. Enraged, she tries to attack Sylar, only to be shot. To make sure that Mohinder's cure for the [[Shanti virus]] works, Sylar has Mohinder use [[rapid cell regeneration|Claire's blood]] on Maya, successfully reviving her. [[Elle]] attacks Sylar, causing him to flee. She shows frustration for not catching him, but Maya, Molly and Mohinder show their gratitude for saving their lives.
-===[[The Second Coming]]===
-As [[Mohinder]] opens the door to his apartment, Maya attacks him in fear he is [[Sylar]]. Realizing it's Mohinder, Maya begins to question if he will ever find a cure to rid her of [[Poison emission|her ability]]. He claims that there is no way to rid Maya of it, enraging her. Her power activates, starting to kill Mohinder, but she realizes what is happening and suppresses it. Questioning her about what happened, Mohinder realizes that powers are activated by adrenaline. He extracts some from her for examination. Later, after running some tests, he creates a serum that he believes will give [[abilities]] to non-powered humans. Frustrated with the results that opposed her wishes, Maya storms off, saying the serum should be destroyed.
-===[[The Butterfly Effect]]===
-Entering [[Isaac's loft|Mohinder's lab]] the next day to apologize, Maya finds a changed Mohinder, who is diplaying a new attitude along with superhuman abilities. Mohinder guarantees that he is okay and that -- having found a way to grant abilities to the non-powered -- he will certainly be able to find a way to take powers away. The changed Mohinder then passionately kisses Maya and they sleep together.
-===[[I Am Become Death]]===
-Maya gets more and more concerned about [[Mohinder]]'s refusal to leave his [[Isaac's loft|lab]].  She is currently unaware that the serum has negative side effects.
-=== [[Angels and Monsters]] ===
-Maya comes back to [[Isaac's loft|Mohinder's lab]] and shows him a missing poster of his [[Mark Spatney|neighbor]]. When she notices a trail of blood in the lab, she quickly leaves. Later, Maya returns while [[Mohinder]] is out, and she finds his neighbor cocooned to the wall, as she is trying to free him, Mohinder returns and she hides underneath a gurney. When Mohinder realizes she is there, she activates [[Poison emission|her ability]]. She stops before killing him and he attacks her, and then cocoons her to the wall.
-===[[Dying of the Light]]===
-Maya remains cocooned in Mohinder's hive.
-===[[Eris Quod Sum]]===
-Maya is taken to Pinehearst by [[Mohinder]]. After [[Arthur]] takes her [[poison emission|ability]], she tells Mohinder to leave her alone. Later, she talks to Mohinder, stating that she wants to start over and make amends with her previous life.
