Charlene "Charlie" Andrews
Charlie Andrews (Jayma Mays)
- Ability: Enhanced memory
A waitress with an enhanced memory, Charlie becomes Hiro's love after she dies.
- Always Save the Girl: Poor girl. In the first season, Sylar kill her and when Hiro saves her, she is kidnapped by Samuel and left in 1944.
- Back from the Dead: 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.
- Dead Star Walking: When she returned in Season 4, Jayma Mays had been cast as a regular in Glee. This pretty much guaranteed that she and Hiro would have no future.
- Diabolus ex Machina: If she wasn't killed by Sylar, she would have died of a brain clot. Originally, at least.
- Forgotten Fallen Friend: For three seasons, Hiro forgot she existed.
- I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Hiro even compares her to Gwen.
- Nice Girl: One of most lovely and adorable character in the series.
- Photographic Memory: 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.
- Service Sector Stereotypes: 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.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: 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.
- 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.
"Claude Rains"
Claude Rains (Christopher Eccleston)
- Ability: Invisibility
A cynical British fellow with the ability to turn invisible. He became a Trickster Mentor to Peter and is one of the most popular minor characters.
- Character Name Alias: Christopher Eccleston's character introduces himself as Claude Rains, after the actor who played The Invisible Man in 1933. The line was actually improvised by Eccleston, but they decided to
Throw It In!, and eventually, it was decided that this might even be the character's real name. - Cynical Mentor: 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.
- Homeless Pigeon Person: Claude Rains cares for pigeons on Charles Deveaux's rooftop.
- 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.
- Leitmotif: His theme involves wind and voices to create the feeling of a ghost-like presence.
- Meaningful Name: He is named after Claude Rains who starred in The Invisible Man (1933).
- Lovable Rogue: He uses the power to his advantage, stealing from others.
- No One Could Survive That!: 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.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: 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.
- He 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.
- Seen It All: He has alluded to a hobby of randomly following people around, so he's seen a lot.
- Trickster Mentor: His training methods include gleefully whacking his pupil over the head with a stick and throwing him off the roof of a skyscraper."Do! Something! Unexpected!"
- Ungrateful Bastard: 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.
- Zen Survivor: His training of Peter is brief, brutal, but very helpful (though he gets some things wrong), and he definitely fits the backstory requirements.
Theodore Sprague
Ted Sprague (Matthew John Armstrong)
- Ability: Induced radioactivity
Some poor guy who just happened to have Radioactive powers, accidentally killed his wife, is hunted by the F.B.I. for crimes he didn't commit, and takes on the Ancient Conspiracy with Matt Parkman, Noah Bennet, and Hana Gitelman. He gets off his revenge kick just in time to be de-brained by Sylar.
- Atomic Superpower: Ted had the power to generate heat and radiation, an ability later acquired by both Peter Petrelli and Sylar. Unfortunately, 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 nuclear explosions capable of leveling cities, as we see several times.

- Power Incontinence: He can't stop emitting radiation, and nearly blows up a few times. He does eventually start getting better about it, and then Sylar kills him.
- Race Lift: In the original pilot, there was a Middle-Eastern man with the same powers as Ted.
- Required Secondary Powers: 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.
- Shock and Awe: In one instance, he manages to create an electromagnetic pulse to escape Pinehearst.
Hana Gitelman
Hana Gitelman (Stana Katic)

Meredith 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. Meredith has a brother, Flint, who also has the ability of pyrokenesis.

- Finger-Snap Lighter: Meredith does it so much that fans nicknamed her "Flamepalm".

- Playing with Fire: 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.
- Platonic Declaration of Love: Her daughter, Claire, tells Meredith she loves her moments before Meredith's death resulting from a fire breaking out as the result of her abilities overloading, during which Meredith begs Claire to escape.
- Run for the Border: She hid out in Mexico for a while.
- Siblings in Crime: She and Flint robbed various stores before being captured by the Company.

- Action Mom: In the exposed future.
- Anti-Villain: She is a professional thief who works for and with other villains, but is clearly disgusted by most of them, never kills anyone herself, 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.

- Fragile Speedster: She has Super-Speed but she can go down very easily and she isn't faster than a nuclear explosion.

A guy with the power to create miniature black holes, who accidentally killed his neighbor and got locked up by the Company in Level 5 for it.
- Bad Powers, Bad People: 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 killing himself rather than take another life, even if it is the life of a serial killer.

Benjamin "Knox" Washington
Knox (Jamie Hector)
- Ability: Enhanced strength
- Card-Carrying Villain: Mainly because his backstory was cut from the show proper. Though it is available in webisode format.
- Disney Death: Possibly: Despite being shown to have been frozen and shattered in the final Volume 3 episode, he was shown on a wanted billboard at Building 26, implying that he was at large. Most likely, this was merely a mistake, or it was unclear that he was dead.
