Yeah, since all we know about her ability is that it causes cerebral and ocular bleeding there are several possible causes. Off the top of my head:
- Some kind of fast-acting, localized disease
- Blood pressure manipulation
- Sonic frequency

Plague was just my favorite explanation of the three. Plus, think about what was mentioned between the Company man and Mohinder. If the virus affecting people with abilities mutated to affect the rest of the population, it would become a worldwide epidemic. What easier way for the virus to mutate than someone with a plague-related ability contracting it?

Also, since she killed everyone on that truck without meaning to it makes blood pressure seem to be the least likely of those three. I'm not sure how an ability to alter body chemistry like that could work on so many targets that just happen to be in the same general area at the time.

Oh, and I agree that Alejandro is probably powerless. It seems like he's just there to keep her calm.

Hiro, having gone back and met Takezo Kensei, realizes that the stories he'd been told as a child were false, that Kensei was a petty con-artist. Disillusioned, Hiro takes on the responsibity of fulfilling the legendary acts himself, with Kensei along for the ride. At some point, Kensei reveals his own power - limited immortality - and Hiro realizes the scope of how both their abilities could work together. (It's by this that Kensei could theoretically cut out his own heart to save another, yet survive.)

Eventually, Hiro brings reform to Kensei, who rededicates himself toward working for the benefit of mankind - based largely upon the stories about himself as told by Hiro. Satisfied that he has caused history to maintain its sway, Hiro returns to the present.

Fast forward to the mid-20th century. Kensei is alive and well and is now working alongside Linderman, the Petrellis, Deveaux, Kaito Nakamura, and others. As their philosophies collide, Kensei is angered by the manipulations and greed shown by some - traits that do not mesh with his reformed sense of purpose. Kensei goes into hiding and watches the group from a distance. It is at this time that he sees Kaito have a son, the tme-traveler he met centuries prior - but Kensei says nothing.

Fast forward to the present day. The Linderman Group's attempt at destroying New York has failed and its supporters are struggling to find new direction. Angered by their cavalier attitude toward humanity, Kensei decides that the plot's creators must perish - Angela for her central role, Kaito for knowing yet actively doing little to prevent it.

Takezo Kensei is the man who kills Kaito Nakamura and plans to kill Angela Petrelli. For having killed the elder Nakamura, Kensei and Hiro will become rivals.


A fun twist would be having the blacksmith's daughter hook up with Hiro and unknowingly conceive a child after Hiro returns to the present. This child would bear the genetic code and, in effect, Hiro would become his own great-great-great-great (and so on) grandfather. [/Futurama]

or.. sometime during those 4 months, Peter came into contact with Kristen Bell's character "Elle" who is rumored to have electric powers.

Hana Gitelman is dead. Most of the comics from this past summer addressed Hana's involvement in taking down the Company. She managed to steal a ride aboard a spacecraft, enough to get close to a certain space satellite. But when Hana tried to manipulate the data in it, she fell victim to a specially designed trap and somehow became infected with a computer virus. She leaps onto the satellite and burns up during re-entry.

It's speculated that while Hana's physical body is no more, her consciousness still persists within the internet.
