Tommy Clark
Tommy Clark/Nathan Bennet
Played By: Robbie Kay
Ability: Ability Absorption, Space-Time Manipulation
An (not so) Ordinary High-School Student that wants to live a normal life but must be cautious as to avoid people discovering his powers.
- AB Negative: How Tommy discovers that he's adopted. He's AB, while Anne is O negative, which makes their relationship biologically impossible.
- Amnesiac Hero: Tommy was actually really heroic and ready to face his destiny, like his uncle Peter, but the memory wipe took that away too.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He might be afraid of his power but he won't hesitate to use it if you threaten someone he cares about. Luke and Joanne found out the hard way.
- The Chosen One: According to Caspar, he's destined to save the world. He's not very happy about that.
- Composite Character: He is a combination of several character of the original show: the personality of Claire Bennet post-amnesia, the Jumped at the Call attitude of Peter Petrelli pre-amnesia and the power of Arthur Petrelli.
- Dead Guy Junior: His real name is Nathan, after his biological grandfather, Nathan Petrelli.
- Discard and Draw: His actual power is to absorb the powers of other evos, at the cost of losing the one he currently has.
- Happily Adopted: Pre-memory wipe Nathan knew that Hiro and Anne were his adoptive parents and that his biological mother, Claire, died when he was an infant.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Shy and awkward, he just wants to get through high school intact and ask out the girl of his dreams. He and his mother are hiding because of his powers and he's trying really hard not to get found out.Tommy: You ever get the feeling you were meant to do something extraordinary? [...] Well, I do, and it sucks.
- Irony: Before he got his memory wiped he was quite willing to Jump At The Call and save the world. Afterwards however, he tries to stay as far away from the subject as he can.
- Jumped at the Call: He eventually joins Noah and Quentin in their attempts to stop Renautas, but only after some convincing.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: He actually knew everything including his adoption, because Hiro and Anne were his adoptive parents. It was only after Harris came after them that Caspar was forced to alter his memories in order to keep him off Renautas' radar and prevent him from attempting to save Hiro.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Robbie Kay's natural British accent occasionally slips in.
- Power Parasite: His actual power. Like his great-grandfather Arthur Petrelli, he can steal other people's abilities but like his great-uncle, he can only absorb one at a time.
- Refusal of the Call: When Caspar initially tells him that his destiny is to save the world, he's absolutely unprepared to accept the statement and teleports out of the hospital.
- Separated at Birth: He's Malina's fraternal twin brother and was raised separately from her so Renautas won't get their hands on the kids and because his ability is so powerful that if he was near his sister for too long, he would inadvertently absorb her ability as well.
- Shirtless Scene: Just before doing pushups in his room in "Under the Mask."
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: An ordinary high school student discovers that they have powers and fear other people discovering them, they confide in someone they trust and they eventually decide to start using their powers to help save the world. This statement applies to Tommy just as much as Claire.
- Makes sense, as he's Claire's son.
- Teleporters and Transporters: He has the ability to teleport people and objects to whatever place he was thinking of when he did. Tommy later figures out he can use it on himself as well to teleport. As a result of absorbing Hiro's power.
- Time Master: As a result of absorbing Hiro's power. The amnesia has him forget this power.
- Took a Level in Badass: Tommy believed he was a simple teleporter. After the events of "June 13th (Parts 1 and 2)" and "Sundae, Bloody Sundae", Tommy relearns of Space-Time Manipulation and finally manages to use the time travel aspect, stopping time to save Emily.

He was assigned to watch over Tommy by a higher authority, which deeply unsettles Mrs. Clark. He's on the side of good as Hiro and Noah trust him to keep Nathan safe. He altered Nathan's and Noah's memories in order to keep Nathan off of Renautas' radar until he was old enough.

Other Evos
Molly Walker
Molly Walker
Played by: Adair Tishler, Francesca Eastwood
Ability: Clairvoyance
A young girl with the ability to locate anyone. She was orphaned after her powered parents had a run-in with Sylar. She was adopted by Matt and Mohinder, then unceremoniously Put on a Bus to stay with Mohinder's mother in India. Molly eventually returned to the United States, but went on the run from Renautas following Evos being forced into hiding.
- Better to Die than Be Killed: She shoots herself in the head to stop Erica from using her for her plans.
- Break the Cutie: Her story arc from her introduction as a child to her suicide has been one long horrible breaking process, culminating in her suicide to keep Erica from continuing her plans.
- Broken Bird: She tells Noah that all her life, people have been trying to exploit her ability, him included. She's utterly broken by the time she kills herself.
- Con Man: As a young adult, she's resorting to grifting in order to survive. This leads to her capture by Taylor Kravid and her partner posing as casino players.
- Heroic Suicide: She kills herself because she'd rather be dead than continue powering the EPIC system and allowing Erica to potentially kill over 7 billion people.
- Littlest Cancer Patient: When we first meet her.
- The Little Detecto: She has the ability to locate anyone who is alive.. Bennet referred to her as The Company's new tracking system until she was put in the care of Matt and Mohinder. She is Renautas' new "EPIC" tracking system as she's forcefully strapped and plugged into the computer system.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her debut as an adult had her in a tight dress with the camera focus lovingly on her assets to show that She Is All Grown Up. She's only dressed like that for grifting as she definitely looks like a teenager when she was with Noah Bennet at the hospital.

- Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: A mild case. We last saw Molly as a young girl, but in Heroes Reborn, she's aged into a young adult in her early 20s, especially since her age isn't specified. In the nine real-time years that have passed since she was last on screen, Molly should have been at least 18 or 19.
- It's implied though she was trying to look older. She looks much closer to her real age in the June 13th flashbacks.
Luke Collins
Luke Collins
Played by: Zachary Levi
Ability: Solar-powered radioactivity
One half of a formerly Happily Married couple turned violent superhuman killers as a result of their child dying in a terrorist attack blamed on people with abilities.
- The Atoner: He says as much as he asks his former dental partner to buy him out of their practice. He also tries to commit suicide, but Malina saves him. He decides to join her in her quest and hopefully atone for his mistakes.
- Ax-Crazy: At first he appears to have no qualms about killing, this attitude slowly fades over the course of the first three episodes. Especially now that he develops powers of his own.
- Badass Normal: He'd have to be to stand against guys with Invisibility, Flight, Super-Speed, Pyrokinesis and Teleportation powers and live to tell the tale.
- Empowered Badass Normal: Luke inadvertently discovers that he has powers of his own and he freaks out as a result.
- Battle Couple: Luke and Joanne are badass to the extreme together.
- Bullying a Dragon: Luke and Joanne's attempts to take out Tommy don't end up as planned.
- Cynicism Catalyst: Luke and Joanne were Happily Married until their son was among the victims of the Odessa attack, which spurred them to team up and destroy specials. Joanne appears to have taken the loss much harder as she prefers to shoot anything that moves first.
- Driven to Suicide: Attempts this, but is saved by Malina.
- Evil Counterpart: Luke is one to fellow Badass Normal, Noah Bennet. Their backstories are nigh-identical but while Noah kept things in perspective and came to realize that Evolved Humans aren't all dangerous or bad (admittedly with the aid of the Company), Luke became convinced that all of them should die because of what they did to his child. And now that he's developing sunlight powers, much to his horror, he's also rethinking his position.
- Evil Wears Black: Luke and Joanne are both dressed all in black in every scene seen in the trailers so far.
- Fantastic Racism: Both Luke and Joanne hate Evolved Humans. Luke in particular gives a disturbingly Nazi-esque, pre-mortem speech to a group of evos.Luke: I know you have no control over who you are, of what you are. These powers, they're not natural, they're not safe, they cannot be trusted. So as far as I see it, there's only one solution to that.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Both Luke and Joanne went from a happy, well adjusted family to rampaging serial killers. Maybe moreso now that Luke seems to have slid into Ted Sprague-territory with his new powers.
- Heel Realization: After discovering his power, Luke understands that Evos are just normal people with families and that he and especially his wife, have become monsters.
- Heroic Sacrifice:
- Love Makes You Evil: Their genocidal rampage is the result of their son dying in a terrorist attack blamed on evolved humans.
- Papa Wolf: The death of his son is what motivates him to go along with Joanne and kill Evos, and he looked ready to blow Phoebe's brains out after discovering that she had a hand in the bombing. He also has shades of this towards Malina, too.
- The Power of the Sun: He has heat/radiation based abilities seemingly derived from his exposure to sunlight. This is definitely true as of the latest episodes, with Luke single-handedly stopping the first solar flare with his powers, while it takes both Nathan and Malina to stop the second one.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Luke is the more thoughtful and stoic Blue Oni to Joanne's Trigger-Happy, Ax-Crazy Red Oni.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: A thirty-something white guy, dressed all in black with short black hair and a Perma-Stubble is walking around and killing people with abilities as a result of an incident which caused him to develop a cynical disposition? Yep, Luke Collins is Sylar without the powers. Except he actually does have powers. They seem to be of the super-heating/radioactive variety, placing him more along the lines of Ted Sprague's arc.
- Tomato in the Mirror: Luke has solar-powered radiation-based abilities.
- Unholy Matrimony: Still married and still loving Joanne. Although Luke might be having second thoughts on the whole revenge thing. Especially now that he has developed powers of his own.

- Naïve Newcomer: Had a very sheltered upbringing as a child and was told she would be destined for greatness.
- The Scapegoat: She stops a massive solar storm, but the people witnessing her stopping it blames her for causing it instead and start threatening her. Fortunately, Luke steps in and rushes her to safety.
- Separated at Birth: She's Tommy's fraternal twin sister and was raised separately to protect them from Renautas and because if they were raised together, Nathan would eventually absorb her ability as well.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In many ways she's just like Peter Petrelli, the same Jumped at the Call attitude, the same Chronic Hero Syndrome, and the same All-Loving Hero disposition. Considering Peter is her great uncle, it makes a lot of sense.
Farah Nazan
Farah Nazan
Played By: Nazneen Contractor

- Hero Killer: "June 13th Part One" reveals under Erica's commands, she created a huge eclipse that blocked out most of the Evos' powers at Odessa Unity Summit.
- In the Hood
- Ironic Name: "Phoebe" means "bright", "radiant" which is the opposite of what her powers allow her to do.
- Kill the Lights: She can do this on a whim, but she often does this when she gets too stressed or angry.
- Living Shadow: In Dark Matters, she animates her shadow to hold its hand up to hers.
- That Man Is Dead: According to Quentin by "Company Man," he doesn't think of himself as betraying his sister when he has his Heel–Face Turn, since in his words, "that's not [his] sister."
- Parental Abandonment: She and Quentin are half-siblings and Mrs. Frady died in a car accident some time prior to the events of Dark Matter. Her father is not known, other than he abandoned the family when Phoebe was a child, and both siblings are reluctant to bring him up.

- Purple Is Powerful: Her eyes glow purple/pink when she uses her powers to their full extent.

- Shell-Shocked Veteran: A former soldier that is uncomfortable with the idea of being hailed as a hero, as something happened to him in the army that made him feel unworthy of his Medal of Valor and taking his brother's place as a vigilante. That's because Farah, his ex, committed the heroic acts and he was rewarded instead of her. In reality, he was hiding and then subsequently covered up the fact that she was using her invisibility. Before she dumps him and leaves for a new assignment, she gives him a Dare to Be Badass to earn his medal.

One half of a formerly Happily Married couple turned violent superhuman killers as a result of their child dying in a terrorist attack blamed on people with abilities.
- Ax-Crazy: Luke has been somewhat unhinged but Joanne is far more so. Her first, second, and third idea is to shoot anything that moves as soon as possible. The bombing left them with some Sanity Slippage, her moreso as her first reaction after seeing Mick was to brutally kill him with a pair of scissors because he was the special that was with her son when the bombing happened.
- Badass Normal: Much like her husband. Or rather, unlike her husband.
- Battle Couple: With Luke.
- Bullying a Dragon: She probably regrets threatening Tommy's Love Interest.

- Evil Brit: Joanne speaks with a Manchester accent.
- Evil Wears Black: Luke and Joanne are both dressed all in black in every scene seen in the trailers so far.
- Fantastic Racism: While Luke might hate evos, Joanne hates them even more, to the point where she has no qualms about killing as 16-year old boy and shooting a man point-blank in the forehead. When she learns that Luke has an ability, it just fuels her hatred and anger even more as she leaves him.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Both Luke and Joanne went from a happy, well adjusted family to rampaging serial killers.
- Kubrick Stare: Joanne has this in her character poster.

- Redemption Rejection: Luke constantly attempts to convince her to stop her ways after his Heel–Face Turn, but she decides she's too far gone to stop and that her vendetta against Evos is all she has anymore.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Joanne is the emotionally unstable trigger happy Red Oni to Luke's more thoughtful and stoic Blue Oni.
- Scary Black Woman: She's terrifying in that she blames all the evos for the loss of her son so she's willing to kill all of them and appears to have some bloodlust as well after her first murder.
- The Sociopath: She slaughters countless innocent people with petty justifications that only make sense to her. She nearly killed her husband just because he was an evo.
- Unholy Matrimony: Still married to and still loving Luke.
- Trigger-Happy: To the point where Luke has to remind her to keep her fingers off the trigger of her gun.

- Big Brother Instinct: He's extremely protective of Phoebe and is very supportive of her ability, even gifting her a camera to document her powers. Her disappearance and frame-up as a suspect in the Odessa bombing affects him heavily and motivates him to track down Noah Bennet in an attempt to find her. His protectiveness towards Phoebe probably explains why he joined Erica's cause in the new timeline.
- Conspiracy Theorist: He's convinced that something else is behind the Odessa attack and manages to track down Noah Bennet to convince him to investigate further. He's probably right as he found evidence that Renautas are probably behind the attack, but he needs help confirming it.
- Evil All Along: In the new timeline, Quentin is alive...and secretly working for Erica the entire time. Although once she shows Nathan around, he appears to start having second thoughts. When he and Phoebe encounter Luke and Malina, his doubts about Erica are magnified in his confused expression. Ultimately, this proves to be a Subverted Trope. He was on his sister's side... but when it became clear she was undeniably evil, he throws in with Luke and Malina instead.
- Heel–Face Turn: In "Company Woman," he decides to join forces with Luke and Malina against his sister, to the point of denying Phoebe was his sister anymore.
- Parental Abandonment: Phoebe is his half-sister and the only family he has as Mrs. Frady died in an accident some time prior and the status of their fathers are not known, although it appears that they would prefer to never bring up her father.

- "Shaggy Dog" Story: He finds Phoebe... who by that time is fully on Erica Kravid's side as an agent of Renautas, and she kills him when he enables Miko to save Hiro Nakamura, something she was trying to prevent. And when he meets up with her a year earlier in the revised timeline, he simply gets enlisted into Renautus.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Noah initially don't get along and does grate on Noah's nerves at times, but when he's killed by his own sister, Noah calls him a friend.
