We've heard this before, but it sounds more likely than ever this time:
A major character will die this season on Heroes.
NBC sources have confirmed to E! News that a male, original cast member will truly, actually, seriously bite the dust at some point in the near future.
The most obvious guess would be Hiro, considering he actually has a fatal disease. Sadly, the time has likely come for this once-great character. But we think the show will throw viewers a curve.
That would leave Sylar, Parkman, Peter, Nathan, Anod, HRG and Mohinder as candidates. Our money is on Parkman. How about you?
Who do you think will be killed this season?

For the life of me, I don't understand all this stupid griping about characters never dying! Character dying on TV shows isn't an ALL THE TIME thing usually anyways!
So here you go Heroes Fanatic. Here's who's dead.
Issac, DL, Simone, Charlie, Nathan, Nikki, Eden, Kaito, Ted Sprague, Candice, Adam, Elle, Maya's stupid brother, Bob Bishop, Linderman, Danko, Meredith, Flint, Knox, Daphne, Maury, Arthur Petrelli, Usutu, and UNTOLD Sylar victims.
Now, I know what your whiny response will be, "but, uh, those aren't MAIN characters..." A few of them WERE, and besides, what difference does it make, this is an ensemble show! Elle got as much screen time there for a while than any of the "main characters." What makes a main character? Someone who was there from the beginning? The show is only three years old really, what difference does it make. If you go by the numbers, Heroes is practically a SMORGASBORD of death. So what's really your gripe? That it's not realistic that people like Peter and HRG get brought back to life every so often? Yeah, like Heroes doesn't have at least a dozen plot loopholes WAY more egregious than that. It's a sci-fi TV show! Sit back, and f***ing ENJOY.

Pete ..I am really impressed on your detailed list of death that you just provided. I dont know who keeps saying death is not an option on this show..I agree with your post truely. People need to stop complaining about the death.

Oh, I was just thinking and I realized, Danko didn't die, he just got mind wiped. Sorry about that.
You know who did die though? That nifty "The German" character, like about ten minutes after being introduced. Which kind of sucked, since germans make cool villains. They also make good beer, but I digress...

Danko died, Edgar sliced the sucker up before doing the same to Tracy (she survived though)!

Death. Really. This is supposed to be a shocker to us? Welcome to Heroes, people; Pete said it quite well- Smorgasbord of death. But if we're voting, I'm voting...HRG. He's meddling in some dangerous waters, and I've been thinking he's next since season one.

NO HRG. He is like the master of people with abilities he been with them for some long that he knows all their tricks. Why kill him now? There are so many other characters that can really be killed and not missed, for example Mohinder he done his time on the show already, 4 season he been researching how to stop abilities and so far he fail.

I agree -- there is no shock to people dying on this show. But if they are promoing a "main" character dying, who is male, I'd put my money on Nathan as he is already dead. If Sylar is back, I don't really see how Adrian Pasdar has a future on the show.

Why is Nathan in the poll? He was killed at the end of Season 3. Whatever was left of him has seemingly gone when Sylars body shapeshifter back into his form.

IKurt ...what you are saying is true but Adrian Pasdars character of Nathan is still being used with in the show. I dont know what to make out of this but I think its truely going to be Parkman. Sylar is screwing his mind up anyway.

From the promo clip, it looks as though it's very likely it could be Peter that dies. It seems that the Healer's gun goes off when Peter is infront of it, and as he doesn't have his regenerative power anymore... my money is sadly on him.
I'm hoping I'm wrong, however - the show tends to lead thought in one direction, and then change it at the last minute for a different, unexpected result. "Heroes" kills off so many characters - Pete is right in saying that the show is a smorgasbord of death. I don't mind that, I actually quite like the fact that they do. However, Peter is unabashedly my favourite character, so fingers crossed I read the signs wrong.
