Aus Heroes Wiki

Kräftevererbung
The Hawkins-Sanders family are all evolved humans.

There are many indications in Heroes that the Kräfte that the characters exhibit can be inherited from parents possessing special abilities.

Genetische Markierung

The basic premise behind Chandra Suresh's research is that humans are on the brink of an advance of Evolution, and that there are genetic markers in DNA/RNA that can be used to predict the emergence of special abilities.

Using data from the Human Genome Project, he was able to create a list of humans that could possibly exhibit the abilities predicted by his theories. While Chandra was able to find one example, he was unfortunately murdered before he could go public with his discoveries.

Minderjährige mit Fähigkeiten

While most of the evolved humans in Heroes did not discover their special abilities until their 20's or 30's, there are a few examples of children who have demonstrated powers at much younger ages. Most of these children have parents who are also confirmed evolved humans.

Another indication that special powers run in families is the tendency of siblings to have powers, but it does not guarantee powers. Nathan Petrelli and Peter Petrelli are brothers who have powers. However, it is unknown whether Jessica Sanders had powers before her death. Her sister Niki Sanders, however, has powers through her alternate personality, Jessica.

Beispiele der Vererbung

• Micah Sanders ist der Sohn von D.L. Hawkins und Niki Sanders.
• Claire Bennet ist die Tochter von Nathan Petrelli und Meredith Gordon.
• Molly Walker ist die Tochter von James Walker.
• Der Haitianer ist der Sohn von Guillame.

Anmerkungen

• Sanjog Iyer has demonstrated special abilities as a child; information about his parents is unknown.
• Janice and Matt Parkman are expecting a child. In 2011, their son Matthew is a "child of interest" to Homeland Security. (Five Years Gone)
• Nathan Petrelli hat zwei Söhne, aber keiner von beiden hat bisher außergewöhnliche Fähigkeiten gezeigt.
• Nathan and Peter Petrelli both have powers, but little is known about their parents' possible involvement in this genetic abnormality.
• Observing certain trends in the "passing down" of genes, two minors with powers (Claire Bennet and Micah Sanders) share the common thread of both parents being special. Molly Walker's father James Walker is an evolved human, however nothing much is known about her mother.
• Some fans speculate that Mohinder's sister, Shanti Suresh, had powers: she had some kind of genetic abnormality, her parents described her as "special", and she inspired her father's research. Mohinder, however, has not shown any evidence of powers.
• In a Q&A session, writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite were asked whether or not it's a guarantee that powers are passed on, given that both parents are evolved humans. They answered, "In genetics, nothing is guaranteed. A random mix of traits."
