Our thanks to Kristin from E! Online for this latest Heroes spoiler.

She's already told us that Elle, Adam, Nathan and Niki (or a different alter-ego portrayed by Ali Later) will all be back when the show returns.

But here's an interesting new tidbit: Adam Monroe was once named Richard Sanders... and is related to Niki! How many identities can one guy have? Guess when you've been alive for over 400 years, names can pile up.
