Heroes (TV series)/Tropes R-U: Difference between revisions

* [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]/[[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: Name a character. Literally any character.

** Sylar deserves special mention , because it seems like his first "superpower" (his ability to intuitively understand how things fit together) would allow him to, among other things, make a killing in business and on the stock market.

* [[Repetitive Name]]: Peter Petrelli.

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: {{spoiler|Mind wiped Sylar becomes one for Nathan}}.

** Then there's Peter, who in the very first episode decides to test his theory of [[Flight]] by [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?|jumping off the roof of an apartment building]]. Peter, I think I've spotted a ''tiny'' flaw in your experiment design. Can you see it?

** Nathan too from time to time.

** Matt seems to have taken at least half a level in Volume 4.

** {{spoiler|Micah apparently took one in Volume 3. In Volume 4, he's adopted the codename "Rebel" and is organizing a resistance effort against the government}}.

** Peter does this, twice. First, by actually getting a grasp on his powers after his training with Claude. Later, when his DEPOWERING followed by his new NERFED ability, he becomes one of the most strategically intelligent characters of the show.

* [[Toplessness From the Back]]: Lydia the carnie from Volume 5 has some sort of precognitive power that only works by displaying images of people important in the immediate future... on her back in Samuel's tattoo ink. She's topless in one scene to display the tattoos.

* [[Total Eclipse of the Plot]]

* [[Tragic Hero]]: <s>Mystery Sock</s> Isaac.

* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Ok, ''Heroes''. I get it, you don't want to kill anyone. {{spoiler|But why put the last minute of the finale, featuring one Noah Bennet, in a finale promo trailer airing for weeks, if you are putting him in a situation that he could possibly die in a cliffhanger in the penultimate episode}}!?

** Not to mention Meredith's training Claire to teach her regeneration isn't everything...

* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: Peter, ESPECIALLY in Volume 3.
