Heroes Spoilers!!

* In perhaps another nod to “Watchmen,” somebody gets killed in 2.1 and the first half of season two is a murder mystery. (Hiro’s dad and Claire’s grandma seem to believe they’re targets as well. I’m guessing the worse-than-Sylar boogieman little Molly referenced last season is the culprit.)
* Peter stars the season locked away, and with amnesia.
* Nathan, believing Peter dead, has descended into alcoholism and starts the season with a giant beard.
* In sunnier Costa Verde, Calif. (which doubtlessly neighbors Neptune and Sunnydale), Claire comes to date another superhero (played by Nick D’Agosto, who also played Jan’s assistant on “The Office”).
* Papa Noah Bennet is going after his old bosses. (Possibly with the help of Sylar??)
* Mohinder, Matt and Molly the little mutant-finder are all living together. (With Matt’s pregnant wife?)
* Jessica/Niki gets a virus that only affects superheroes, presumably the one that killed Mohinder’s sister and vexes Molly.
* Molly’s “worse than Sylar” boogieman is identified in 2.5.
* Hiro, who gets busy with a princess, may not return to the present until 2.8.
* Many questions about the season-on cliffhanger will be answered in 2.8, titled “Four Months Ago.”
* Sylar leaves the series around 2.16 to play Spock in the movies but is expected to return at season’s end.
* We’ll discover that several mutants share the same superpowers.
* Stephen Tobolowski (Ned from “Groundhog Day”) is introduced as a Primatech boss.
* The characters introduced in next April’s spinoff “Heroes: Origins” could join the mother show or be spun off into their own series. For those who overlooked Harry’s post on Saturday (or Kring’s announcement on G4’s “Attack fo the Show” earlier in the week), big-screen writer-directors John August (“The Nines”), Michael Dougherty (“Trick ‘r Treat”), Kevin Smith (“Clerks II”) and Eli Roth (“Hostel”) will be among those creating “Origins” episodes.Read all of the Jensen’s EW story here.Details we knew previously:
* Kristen Bell, whose character may or may not be a lightning lass like Gwen Raiden, is slated to join the show with episode five. She’s to hang around for at least 13 episodes.
* It looks like Primatech might be behind the virus that killed Mohinder’s sister.
Dominic Keating (“Enterprise”) plays a hero involved with mobsters in Ireland.
* Dania Ramierez (who played the mutant Callisto in “X-Men: The Last Stand”) plays a northbound Central American criminal named Maya with a dangerous power that works with her superpowered twin Aldjandro (Puerto Rican/Dominican actor Shalim Ortiz). Kind of like Jayna and Zan on “Super Friends.”
* David Anders (“Alias”) plays Hiro’s ancient Japanese idol, Takezo Kensei, who turns out to be a blonde, blue-eyed assassin with a British accent and a drinking problem. His real name may or may not be Kane. His superpower is revealed in 2.2; is he immortal?
* Ando will find himself shuttling between New York and Japan, where Hiro is presumably leaving him clues from 400 years in the past.* Dana Davis (“The Nine”) will play Micah’s hot superpowered cousin Monica, who - post-Katrina - works in a New Orleans fast-food restaurant. Nichelle Nichols (“Star Trek”) will play Monica’s grandmother.
* Claire’s new boyfriend, who has the same superpower as her biological dad, seems to have encountered Claire’s adoptive dad in the past.* Claire gets a new California cheerleading rival, May, played by Janel Parrish (“Bratz”) and a lesbian cheerleader pal named April.
* Claire and Nikijessica will finally meet.* Jessica Collins (“The Nine”) will play a superpowered Primatech thug named Sophie. She speaks French.
* Kristen Bell’s character, Elle, has ties to both the Bennet and Petrelli families.
