My first major creation to Heroeswiki.com was the page List of survived shootings. I began to notice that there were lots and lots of guns and people getting shot, but Simone and D.L. were the only ones who died (and the show even retconned itself saying that D.L. didn't die from the first shooting, but actually died from another shooting). Regardless, I figured that at this point, surviving shootings was a significant part of the show and it deserved an article. So that's my contribution.
For fun, here's a tally of main characters and the number of times they've survived shootings:
Adam: 1
Ando: 1
Angela: 0
Claire: 4
Daphne: 0
D.L.: 1 (Which, as said above, was originally fatal, but retconned to be nonfatal)
Elle: 2
Isaac: 0
Hiro: 2
Matt: 1
Maya: 1
Micah: 0 (Who would try to shoot poor little Micah?)
Mohinder: 0
Monica: 0 (But someone did pull a gun on her)
Nathan: 1
Niki: 0
Noah: 2
Peter: 2
Simone: 0 (Although she did NOT survive one shooting)
Sylar: 5
Tracy: 0
From this we can figure these rules:
- first and foremost, if you're from the future, you are most likely going to be shot and die (this supercedes all other rules)
- If you can regenerate, people shoot at you more often
- If you've worked in Isaac's loft, people don't want to shoot you
- If you're a cute kid, you don't get shot at (thank goodness!)
- If you're old, people don't shoot at you, although people may pull guns on you
- If you have been to New Orleans, people don't shoot at you
