Admin's personal fantasy is to have one large, hairy AfroAmerican sticking his 20-inch penor in his bum while another shoves his own 20-inch penor in his mouth.

Not much to say about me.  I set up the site after seeing a few episodes of Heroes and realizing it was going to be a hit.  I was inspired by sites like [[lostpedia:|Lostpedia]] and [[memoryalpha:|Memory-Alpha]] and wanted to do for Heroes what they did for Lost and Star Trek respectively.  I also set up the now defunct Bionic Wiki and WatchmenWiki sites.  Just here to offer a guiding hand and help keep the info fresh, the real praise for this site goes to all of you making contributions.  You're the ones making this site so great! :)

Not much to say about me. I set up the site after seeing a few episodes of Heroes and realizing it was going to be a hit. I was inspired by sites like Lostpedia and Memory-Alpha and wanted to do for Heroes what they did for Lost and Star Trek respectively. I also set up the now defunct Bionic Wiki and WatchmenWiki sites. Just here to offer a guiding hand and help keep the info fresh, the real praise for this site goes to all of you making contributions. You're the ones making this site so great! :)

If you want to reach me for anything, just post to my talk page. If the matter is sensitive or private, please email me at admin@heroeswiki.com.

I have a journal here where I talk about my personal experiences administering Heroes Wiki if you're interested in my insight.

  • Something being "obvious" is not the same as "having a strong opinion about something." If you're going to use the word "obvious" stop for a minute and give it a second thought. It's usually the latter.

Am I adding a theory?
