"Heroes" For Dummies Trivia Quiz

Answer: Angela Petrelli

It his his mother's ability, dreaming of the future, that Peter absorbs first. He foresees his brother's car accident and learns about Nathan's ability to fly before it all happens.

Answer: He understands how things work

Answer: Takezo Kensei

Adam Monroe, an Englishman blessed with spontaneous regeneration, was known in Japan in the 17th century as Takezo Kensei, a mercenary. Trapped in the past, Hiro Nakamura is disappointed to see that this childhood hero, the one about whom his father told him so many heroic tales, was in fact a cowardly, greedy British immigrant who has no sense of honor at all. Hiro has to use his power to help Kensei make a name for himself and fulfill his destiny.

In fact, he helps so much that he does everything in his stead. By a quite delightful turn of events, it turns out that Hiro Nakamura was his own childhood hero...

Answer: Meredith Gordon

It is in season two that we learn that the accident was caused by Meredith, Claire's biological mother, as she tried to escape the Company with her brother. Chased by a company man in a wagon, she tried to attack him with fire and the wagon exploded, causing the whole train to catch fire.

Answer: Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Catchy phrase. Hiro comes back from five years in the future to tell Peter to save Claire. No hero has met nor heard of her at that moment. In the dark future where things went real bad, Hiro realizes after a thorough recap that Sylar killing Claire - and/or taking her ability as well - is the catalyst to their failure to save the world.

Answer: Taxi driver

In 2005, Manhattan's Taxi and Limousine and Commission estimated that about 38% of the island's taxi drivers were of South Asian origins. Who's afraid of stereotypes?...

Answer: Brian Davis

This is where the "spoiler alert" really counts... Arthur Petrelli isn't really dead when Brian Davis, blessed with telekinesis, is killed by Sylar. Davis couldn't have been killed before Eden since Sylar uses telekinesis to try to kill her - which she does herself. It was never thought that Molly Walker was dead.

Linderman and Nakamura both have their offices on Kirby Plaza, which is not a real place, unlike the other three choices.
