User:Ricard Desi/Heroes Timeline

Heroes Timeline is a canon analysis. The information has come from canon sources.

This is a page-in-progress, and while I appreciate all efforts to assist in sorting out the timeline, on this page I would appreciate it if no one makes edits to the page proper, but discusses it on the discussion page. Thanks. --Ricard Desi

12/26/09 - Hey, here we go. Off to a flying start this time. Some messiness has occurred, though. October 1 is set as the Eclipse Day, despite it not being a weekday, and Niki's timeline is screwed up completely, but hey, I did what I could. --Ricard Desi
