Yesterday, we kicked off our inside look at the six new villains set to take Heroes by storm this season.
Having already met Jesse Murphy and Knox Washington, here's information about two more baddies Heroes fans will see plenty of in the weeks to come...
Character: The German
Played by: Ken Lally
Traits: Can manipulate metal
"Metal is a part of me, I'm a part of it. I'm at one with metal," Lally says of The German.
Character: Eric Doyle
Played by: David H. Lawrence
Traits: Can make people do whatever he wants them to
"He's sympathetic, he's funny, he's creepy. There's a little puppy dog in high school that got kicked around and never got to date the prom queen. Now he does," Lawrence says of Doyle.
For the days leading up to the season three premiere of Heroes, we're gonna recap where the show left off with regard to certain characters.
Next up? Mohinder Suresh.
The doctor began the season working with Noah Bennett, as he infiltrated the Company under the guise of testing a cure. However, his motives changed when the virus adapted, and Mohinder eventually shot Bennett. HRG was about to take down Bob to stop the company.
Suffice it to say, Mohinder doesn't have a clue about which side is in the right.
The Heroes season three premiere is less than a week away. With that in mind, USA Today recently previewed the chapter called "Villains."
"We built this volume around the idea of hitting the ground with a tremendous amount of pace and adrenaline," Heroes creator Tim Kring told the newspaper.
Kring went on to explain that this Monday's first episode sets the tone for the season: "We wanted to let the audience know this is going to be a roller-coaster ride," he added.
Sendhil Ramamurthy, who plays Mohinder on the show, echoes that excitement.
"The villains bring a little bit darker feel to the show. Everyone's stakes are so much higher," the actor said. "There's so much happening this season."
Well, let's meet these villains in that case! Follow this article's jump now to get to know the new characters on Heroes...
For the days leading up to the season three premiere of Heroes, we're gonna recap where the show left off with regard to certain characters.
Next up? Nathan Petrelli.
Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) turned to alcohol when he thought Peter died in the explosion that closed season one. After weeks of feeling sorry for himself, though, the former politician helped Parkman learn who was killing Company founders. Before he revealed his powers via a press conference, Nathan was shot.
For the days leading up to the season three premiere of Heroes, we're gonna recap where the show left off with regard to certain characters.
First up? Peter Petrelli.
After regaining his memory and powers, Peter unknowingly led Adam Monroe to a strain of the virus that could destroy the world. Once he realized what was going on, he managed to stop the outbreak by destroying the vial. Phew. Close one!
We've reported on a number of Heroes spoilers for season three.
Future Peter likely shot Nathan; Sylar sucks Claire's brains out; and he has a son.
Below, though, you have a chance to make up our own spoilers!
E! ran into Masi Oka at the Heroes premiere party last week and asked him to go over a few key plot points for season three... in Japanese! We have no idea what the actor is saying, but it's fun to make it up as he goes along.
For awhile, it was unclear if Kristen Bell would even reprise her role as Elle Bishop on season three of Heroes.
Now, the actress has mde it clear that she'll return for the next chapter, replete with an impressive character makeover.
"I actually like where [the writers have] taken the whole storyline this year for everybody, including Elle," Bell told Sci-Fi Wire.
Because season two may seem like a lifetime ago to some readers, a brief refresher:
Elle is a mysterious young woman who possesses electrical powers. She's the daughter of Robert Bishop, the current head of the Company. Because she was left in seclusion for years, Elle is quite mentally unstable - but she may be on a path to enlightenment.
"They're showing more of her human side," Bell said. "She's this vaguely barbaric, unfeeling, antisocial adaptive killer who's coy. However, she's had some tough decisions to make [over the years, and the writers are] giving her more depth. There are flashback scenes showing that she's intricately woven into people's lives before you met her. She met a lot of [the characters] before she was introduced on the show."
Catch Elle - and the rest of the Heroes - when season three premieres... one week from today!
We appreciate everyone that submitted a caption this week. It was a tough photo.
But we chose "godric" as the winner. Read his entry below the picture and then scroll down for the rest.
Thanks again for playing and remember to do so every week!
Matt: DUDE! You play CHESS?!!!
Ando: It's a very prestigious sport!
The second episode of Heroes Season 3 will comprise the second hour of the show’s premiere, which airs on September 22.
It's called "The Butterfly Effect" and here's NBC's official plot summary for it:
In the shocking second chapter of “Volume 3: Villains,” Angela (Cristine Rose) clashes with her much-changed son, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia), over how best to avert a seemingly inevitable worldwide catastrophe. First, Sylar (Zachary Quinto) declares war on the Company by attacking their main facility, and finds even more than he bargained for on Level 5.
During a devastating battle with Elle (guest star Kristen Bell), a dozen savage criminals — all with terrible abilities — escape. Meanwhile, Claire (Hayden Panettiere) discovers something new and unexpected about her abilities. Determined to reclaim his family’s terrible secret, Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) track Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) to Paris.
After a fateful night, Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) is thrilled to find his research, his life and his relationship with Maya (Dania Ramirez) evolving in leaps and bounds. Stuck in unfamiliar territory, Matt (Greg Grunberg) finds a guide (guest star Ntare Mwine) to help him.
