23
24A waitress with an enhanced memory, Charlie becomes Hiro's love [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble after she dies]].
25----
26
27* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Poor girl. In the first season, Sylar kill her [[spoiler: and when Hiro saves her, she is kidnapped by Samuel and left in 1944]].
28* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: She was killed by Sylar. However, when Hiro Nakamura traveled back in time and changed her fate, Charlie was healed by Sylar and fell in love with Hiro. Samuel Sullivan then had her abducted and left her in 1944.]]
29* DeadStarWalking: When she returned in Season 4, Jayma Mays had been cast as a regular in ''Series/{{Glee}}''. This pretty much guaranteed that she and Hiro would have no future.
30* DiabolusExMachina: If she wasn't killed by Sylar, she would have died of a brain clot. [[spoiler:[[TrickedOutTime Originally, at least.]]]]
31* ForgottenFallenFriend: For three seasons, Hiro forgot she existed.

33%%* KillTheCutie
34%%* LoveInterest: To Hiro.
35* NiceGirl: One of most lovely and adorable character in the series.
36* PhotographicMemory: Charlie has the ability to remember and recall vast amounts of information. She is easily able to retain and recall what she reads. She learned minutiae, languages, and complex information quickly without the need for repetition.
37* ServiceSectorStereotypes: Charlie is a subversion of the diner waiter. She is charming and friendly, not to mention serving as Hiro Nakamura's first love interest... and she has a perfect memory.
38* ShaggyDogStory: Hiro witnesses her die brutally, so he goes back in time six months to prevent the whole thing. Several months take place as the two of them fall in love. When Hiro tries to tell her that she will die, she tells him that she has a blood clot in her brain and will die shortly anyway. Oops. Waste of six good months.
39** [[spoiler: In the last season, Hiro travels back in time and change her fate; Charlie was healed by Sylar and fell in love with Hiro. Samuel Sullivan then had her abducted and left her in 1944. When Hiro finally reunites with Charlie, she's an elderly woman. She asks Hiro not to go back in time because she's built a family during that 65-year period and doesn't want to lose them.]]

45
46
47-->'''Ability: {{Invisibility}}'''
48
49A cynical British fellow with the ability to turn invisible. He became a TricksterMentor to Peter and is one of the most popular minor characters.
50----
51
52* CharacterNameAlias: Creator/ChristopherEccleston's character introduces himself as Creator/ClaudeRains, after the actor who played [[Film/TheInvisibleMan1933 The Invisible Man]] in 1933. The line was actually improvised by Eccleston, but they decided to ThrowItIn, and eventually, it was decided that this might even be the character's real name.
53* CynicalMentor: He appears to despise Peter and uses their "training sessions" as chances to beat the crap out of him. He also has several other quotes about the general unreliability and undesirable qualities of humanity, and he pushed Peter Petrelli off a 30-story building.
54%%* DeadpanSnarker
55%%* GoodIsNotNice
56* HomelessPigeonPerson: Claude Rains cares for pigeons on Charles Deveaux's rooftop.
57* {{Invisibility}}: Claude has the ability to become invisible, and has been living with the power for at least 15 years. Upon contact, Claude's ability allows him to extend his invisibility to other objects.
58* {{Leitmotif}}: His theme involves wind and voices to create the feeling of a ghost-like presence.
59* MeaningfulName: He is named after Creator/ClaudeRains who starred in ''Film/TheInvisibleMan1933''.
60* LovableRogue: He uses the power to his advantage, stealing from others.
61* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: The flashback sequence where Bennet shoots him and he seems to fall to his death, though he obviously did survive that since he's around to teach Peter.
62* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Noah and the Haitian attack him and Peter, he turned invisible and ran out of Peter's apartment. He wasn't seen on screen since.
63** He [[IncrediblyLamePun appeared]] in a lot of Graphic Novels and they've subtly alluded to him a few times onscreen, so his fans were pretty sure that the writers were bringing him back. Sadly, this didn't happen.
64* SeenItAll: He has alluded to a hobby of randomly following people around, so he's seen a lot.
65* TricksterMentor: His training methods include gleefully whacking his pupil over the head with a stick and throwing him off the roof of a skyscraper.
66-->"Do! Something! ''Unexpected''!"
67* UngratefulBastard: When Peter saves him from Noah and the Haitian, Claude punches him, assuming he brought them to him and then storms out of Peter's life.
68* ZenSurvivor: His training of Peter is brief, brutal, but very helpful (though he gets some things wrong), and he definitely fits the backstory requirements.

79%%* AcquittedTooLate
80%%* AntiHero
81* AtomicSuperpower: Ted had the power to generate heat and radiation, an ability later acquired by both [[PowerCopying Peter Petrelli]] and [[PowerParasite Sylar]]. Unfortunately, [[PowerIncontinence he couldn't control it]], leading to the deaths of several people -- including Ted's wife -- from radiation poisoning. Taken to extremes, this power can also cause [[PersonOfMassDestruction nuclear explosions capable of leveling cities]], as we see several times.
82%%* ClearMyName
83%%* CrusadingWidower
84* HeWhoFightsMonsters: His tactics to take revenge upon the Company involve threatening to shoot an innocent woman and going nuclear on a town.

87* MundaneUtility: While on his road trip with Matt and Noah, he uses his powers to melt snow on a car.
88* PersonOfMassDestruction: Ted's power was nuclear based. Despite the fears that he'd use those powers to detonate New York, turns out it wasn't Ted they had to worry about...
89* PowerIncontinence: He can't stop emitting radiation, and nearly blows up a few times. He does eventually start getting better about it, [[spoiler:and then Sylar kills him.]]
90* RaceLift: In the original pilot, there was a Middle-Eastern man with the same powers as Ted.
91%%* RedemptionEqualsDeath
92* RequiredSecondaryPowers: After fans noticed that he seemed to be immune to giving himself cancer, they came up with the term "Rule of Ted" to refer to evolved humans being immune to the effects of their own powers such as Meredith being able to conjure fire in her hands without burning herself.
93%%* {{Revenge}}
94* ShockAndAwe: In one instance, he manages to create an electromagnetic pulse to escape Pinehearst.

102-->'''Ability: Digital communication'''
103
104Hana is an Israeli soldier and technopath who was seeking {{Revenge}} against the Company with Matt and Ted after being manipulated by Noah.

120* RefugeInAudacity: Her plan to destroy the Company's tracking satellite? [[spoiler:Impersonate a scientist to get into a Chinese military base and go on a space mission to get close to it to hack]].

129-->'''Ability: [[PlayingWithFire Pyrokinesis]]'''
130
131Meredith is an evolved human with the ability to create fire. She is Claire's biological mother, a child she had with her ex-lover Nathan Petrelli. When Meredith believes she lost her one-year old daughter in a house fire caused by the Company, this prompts Meredith's hate for the Company. She allows everyone to believe she died in the fire as well and goes on the run. When the Company catches up to her, Meredith is blackmailed into working for them for a short time until Eric Thompson realizes she is the mother of Claire Bennet -- a child they placed with Company agent Noah Bennet at the behest of Claire's paternal grandmother, Angela Petrelli, unbeknownst to either Meredith or Nathan. 14 years later, Meredith is stunned to receive a call from Claire, the daughter she thought had died, and reconnects with her teenaged daughter.

137* LukeIAmYourFather: She is Claire's biological mother.
138* PlayingWithFire: Meredith has the ability to create fire. In addition to this, she seems to be resistant to some of the consequences of its use; her flames heated the walls of a shipping container enough to burn Claire's hands, and they consumed enough oxygen to nearly suffocate Claire, but Meredith showed no discomfort from the heat or lack of oxygen.
139* PlatonicDeclarationOfLove: Her daughter, Claire, tells Meredith she loves her moments before [[spoiler:Meredith's death resulting from a fire breaking out as the result of her abilities overloading, during which Meredith begs Claire to escape]].

159----
160
161* {{Flight}}: West possesses the power of flight. He has shown a high degree of control over his flight ability, varying his speed and altitude without visual cues.

173
174* ActionMom: In the exposed future.
175* AntiVillain: She is a professional thief who works for and with other villains, but is clearly disgusted by most of them, never kills anyone herself, [[spoiler: and is eventually revealed to have been working with Pinehearst because its leader would otherwise take away her superspeed, which is the only thing stopping her from being crippled by cerebral palsy.]]
176* DeadpanSnarker: She definitely has a hard time believing Matt about being together in the future.
177* FragileSpeedster: She has SuperSpeed but she can go down very easily and she isn't faster than a nuclear explosion.
178* FreudianExcuse: Most of her villainy seems to have been born of guilt and self-loathing for how she treated her father and (especially) her dying mother.
179* HeelFaceTurn: After meeting Matt.

194----
195
196%%* DeadpanSnarker
197* HermitGuru: Although he's a bit upset that his cell phone reception sucks.
198* MagicalNegro: He was almost literally this — though he had a neat little subversion where what Matt assumed to be ancient African mumbo jumbo was a quote from UsefulNotes/CarlJung.
199%%* MilkyWhiteEyes
200%%* TricksterMentor: To Matt and Hiro.
201* OffWithHisHead: At the hands of Arthur Petrelli.
202%%* OnlyOneName

212----
213
214* BadPowersBadPeople: Subverted, almost to the point of being a deconstruction. Despite what the Company (and Claire, at first) think, and despite his having the perfect power for a legitimately threatening villain, he isn't a bad guy. He's very desperate to subvert this image, to the point of [[spoiler:killing himself rather than take another life, even if it is the life of a serial killer.]]
215%%* DrivenToSuicide
216* HairTriggerTemper: Has a history of his temper getting the better of him. His accidental murder of his neighbor resulted from an argument over a broken lawnmower.

231%%* DishingOutDirt
232* EarlyBirdCameo: She made a brief cameo in a season one graphic novel about two years before her proper debut in the "Rebellion" arc.
233** Her name also pops up on early copies of Chandra's list and WordOfGod says that she's the hooded character on the plane of specials.

290%%* PutOnABus
