-[[Hiro]]'s power of [[Space-time manipulation]] allows him to travel into the past.  This creates alternate timelines with differing events.  It is uncertain whether a timeline which he travels back from ceases to exist, or splits off as an alternate reality.   If he travels forward in time, he seems to enter the new timeline, though he alone remembers the old.
-== The Timelines ==
-The following are events which are significant or which differ from timeline to timeline.  Note this is not an effort to explain the nature of the time travel, but simply to document events which occur in two or more different ways due to time travel.
-=== Timeline "Original"  ===
-(Exists until Hiro returns to the subway from Exploding New York.)
-*       Ando stays in Japan, where there are missing person posters for Hiro.
-*      9th Wonders Comic is published detailing events that will occur after Hiro returns to the past in Tokyo.
-*       Nathan wins election in landslide, as documented in newspaper clipping.
-*      Isaac is killed on explosion day, not 2 days before.  Paint brushes are not impaled in his arms.
-*       Hiro arrested.  Bomb goes off.
-*       After explosion: Unknown.
-=== Timeline "Hiro" ===
-(Created by Hiro's return to Toyko.)
-*       Hiro and Ando go to America together.
-*       Peter does not save Claire.   Sylar kills Claire.
-*       Not meeting Claire or Sylar at that time, Peter does not gain healing, telepathy, time stop or TK at that time.
-*       Hiro stabs somebody who looks like Sylar.  Sylar heals.
-*       Somebody explodes.  It is not yet determined who.
-*       Peter receives a scar.
-*       Somebody looking like Nathan is President, leads pogrom against evolved humans.
-*       Peter helps raid prison, freeing Nicki/Jessica
-*       Hiro takes over Isaac's appartment, lays out strings.
-*       Hiro goes back to visit Peter on New York Subway.
-=== Timeline "Cheerleader" ===
-(Created by Hiro's trip to subway)
-*       Peter meets Hiro, gains time stop ability.
-*       Peter told to "save the cheerleader, save the world."
-*       Hiro meets Charlie, she is killed by Sylar while he is in bathroom.
-=== Timeline "Charlie" ===
-(Created by Hiro's jump 6 months back.)
-*       Some months prior, Hiro and Charlie fall in love.  Pictures go on wall at the Burnt Toast Diner
-*       Hiro teleports to Tokyo shortly before Charlie is to die.
-*       Sylar kills Charlie again.  Hiro is not in bathroom.  Ando is there.
-*       Hiro meets Ando at diner later in day.
-*       Peter saves the Cheerleader, gains healing, and Sylar's powers.
-*       Sylar does not gain healing, is captured by Eden and the Company.
-*       Peter escapes company capture attempt using time-stop and TK.
-*       Hope shoots a bullet at Hiro.   This may create an alternate timeline, bypassing one in which Hiro dies.
-*       Hiro steals the sword, he and Ando travel 5 years forward into the future.
-*       Sylar kills Isaac 2 days before explosion, stabbing him with paintbrushes.
-*       (Note: This point marks the return of Hiro from 5 years in the future in Timeline "stab.")
-*       Peter explodes, destroying NYC.  It is blamed on Sylar.
-*       Ando is killed.  Micah also dies.  Time and cause unknown, though Micah's power presumably is involved in the rapid rise of the President.
-*       Claire is hidden by HRG and presumed dead.
-*       The President (who looks like Nathan) undertakes a pogrom against evolved humans.
-*       At some undetermined time, Sylar kills D.L., Candace and then Nathan, taking over Nathan's life.
-*       Peter and Niki meet and enter a relationship, living in Las Vegas.
-*       Hiro and Ando arrive 5 years later on roof of Devaux building.
-*       Sylar (as Nathan) is shown in same pose as Isaac's "Nathan in the Whitehouse" painting.
-*       Future Hiro is killed by Parkman's bullets.
-*       Sylar and Peter engage in battle.
-*       Current-Hiro and Ando go back 5 years.
-=== Timeline "Stab" ===
-(Created by Hiro's return from five years into the future to 2 days before the explosion.)
-*       Hiro returns to past on mission to stab Sylar.  They go immediately to Isaac's studio.
-*       Hiro meets Sylar in Isaac's studio after murder of Isaac.
-*       Sylar visits mom, she dies. (This may occur in other timelines.)
-*       Hiro follows Sylar to mother's house.  He freezes time as his mother is stabbed with scissors.
-*       Time unfreezes as Hiro prepares to stab. (Cause of unfreeze unrevealed.)
-*       Hiro attacks as Sylar tells him to, Sylar counters and freezes sword.  It breaks.
-== Notes and Problems ==
-* The reversal of Hope's bullet is mysterious.  Time goes backwards but that alone would not make the weapon misfire.  If all backwards time travel does create an alternate timeline, this is one, but it is quickly snipped off.
-* It is uncertain if Hiro's one-second time reversal in his cubicle is an event which could have gone any other way.  If it did not happen, and Hiro never learns of his abilities, the course of events would be markedly different, and there would be no timelines.
-* When does Isaac paint "Nathan in the White House?"   Is this always a painting of Sylar or could it, in some timelines, be a painting of Nathan?
-* How does Isaac write 9th Wonders, describing events which are not in his past or current future.  Does his ability include an ability to see different timelines?  Does this suggest that some timeline shifts are themselves predetermined?
