About
Graphic Novel:String Theory
The events that occur prior to this graphic novel are presumably similar to those that occur before Five Years Gone, with the following differences:
- The Explosion occurs on November 8, the day after Nathan Petrelli is elected to congress. Sylar is the cause of the explosion, having murdered Ted Sprague, stolen his power, and lost control of it.
- Hiro Nakamura attempted to prevent the explosion by killing Sylar, but Sylar had previously stolen Claire Bennet's power; he regenerated and exploded, anyway.
- Hiro, in the future, decides to travel back to October 4, 2006 to instruct Peter to "save the cheerleader", changing the future.
