Theory:Red

It is believed that the color red has significance in the show Heroes. Though highly suspect, examples of its usage are categorized here.

Fan Theories

• The use of the color red is sprinkled thoughout the series in a very similar fashion to the way it was used in the the movie "The Sixth Sense" . In the movie, each scene containing red indicated the scene contained a ghost.
• Because Heroes deals with comic-book-like scenarios, there may be more appearances of the primary colors in the show, as it was in the movie "Dick Tracy" .
