Heroes: Origins information

Looks like for next year, between seasons:

None of that has been decided yet. The reason for Origins is Tim is very motivated by and excited by the origin stories. So the idea is to create new characters and to see them from the point at which their powers manifest themselves and within one hour tell the story that completes that character. So if it’s a teenage boy, we would see his powers manifest in high school and by the end of the episode he’s a hero or a villain, he’s dead, or he’s gone to New York to see Doctor Suresh. But, there will not be a lot of cross-pollinating with the mother ship. The show has been described in many ways, because nothing has been locked down. It lives in the Heroes universe, but it only lives in the Heroes universe in terms of it being our universe. Think of it as annuals if you want to look at it from comic book terminology. It’s an opportunity to explore new character and with any kind of luck one or two of them will be worth chasing more and will come up to the mother ship.
