Notes
|
| The eclipses are activating powers. |
Takezo Kensei regenerates for the first time (Lizards) after the 1671 eclipse (Four Months Later). |
- Linderman can heal others in 1968. (War Buddies)
- Claude can disappear in 1991. (Company Man)
- Several characters have powers six months before the 2006 eclipse: Gabriel has intuitive aptitude, Claire heals quickly, Eden talks suggestively, Niki/Jessica gets rough, the Haitian can block powers, Nathan flies, Matt starts hearing thoughts and Brain Davis can move things with his mind. (Six Months Ago)
- + These powers could have been activated by previous eclipses. Total eclipses occur a couple of times every decade.
+ Eclipses could be one way to activate powers, but not the only way.
- Eclipses through history have been looked upon in many different aspects, including a new start or beginning; as well, they have been looked upon as links to the gods, an angry deity or the birth of a new god. Much like the cockroach symbolizes the pinnacle of evolution, the eclipse could simply be used as an artistic representation of the manifestation of these powers, a godsend.

| Eclipse mark a point in time when a series of events are about to happen |
None. |
+ Hiro's quest to stop New York from from going nuclear began almost immediately after the eclipse.
+ Total eclipses happen very rarely, so they can be regarded as a flag in the time line.
|
| Heroes will end with an eclipse. |
None. |
+ Heroes began with one, so it seems right to end with one.
|
| In Volume Three, the eclipse will be the catalyst for the final conflict between the heroes and the villains. |
None. |
+ Usutu says: "Evil forces gather. The dark sun rises. Soon, it will be too late." (Eris Quod Sum) "Dark sun" appears to be a reference to an eclipse.
- - It's possible that it was a play on words and 'dark sun' really meant 'dark son,' referring to one of Arthur's children (likely Sylar).
- + Closed captions for the episode read "dark sun."
- + It is possible it could be a double entendre; Usutu's words could refer both to the eclipse and Sylar.
- - Sylar is turning into a good guy and Peter into a bad one. Sylar turns away from his hunger. Future Peter in all futures has been an anti-hero and may have done things in the category of a villain(even if he meant well). His scar is also a sign for evil since many villains in comic books are mutilated or at least scarred to match their personality.
