Season One

In recent days, a seemingly random group of individuals has emerged with what can only be described as "special" abilities. Although unaware of it now, these individuals will not only save the world, but change it forever. This transformation from ordinary to extraordinary will not occur overnight. Every story has a beginning. Volume One of their epic tale begins here...

The first season of Heroes begins on the day of a solar eclipse. Various people throughout the world discover they have super-human abilities. One man, Mohinder Suresh uncovers his father's secret theory of a new leap forward in human evolution. Some people discover they can fly, change the space-time continuum, heal rapidly, paint the future, and read people's minds among others. How they got their powers is a mystery. How they will use their powers is up to them. One thing, however, is known; their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world…
