List of Heroes characters

This is a list of fictional characters in the television series Heroes, the Heroes graphic novels, and the Heroes webisodes.

Characters are listed by recent appearances (Reborn) and title credit order (alphabetically).

In its inaugural season, Heroes featured an ensemble cast of fourteen main characters. During the first season, the NBC Heroes cast page listed ten characters among the cast; Leonard Roberts arrived later, and Jack Coleman was promoted to series regular as of the eleventh episode.

For the second season of the show, Santiago Cabrera, Tawny Cypress, and Leonard Roberts left the main cast. Zachary Quinto and James Kyson Lee, who were recurring characters in the first season, were added to the main cast, and were joined by new cast members David Anders, Kristen Bell, Dana Davis and Dania Ramirez. Anders was originally meant to be a recurring character, but was promoted to a series regular prior to the start of the season. He is credited as a guest star for the first four episodes of season two.

For the third season, Cristine Rose, recurring in the first two seasons, was promoted to series regular. David Anders, Kristen Bell, and Noah Gray-Cabey were taken off the main cast and become special guest stars. Additionally, Dana Davis was no longer part of the main cast, with scenes involving her in the third season being cut.

For the fourth season, a new character Samuel Sullivan (portrayed by Robert Knepper) was added as a series regular. Originally cast as a recurring part, the part had been changed to a starring role. Dania Remirez left the main cast as well.
