2. What my presentation is about
My presentation is on the subject of the hit NBC
show Heroes.
3. It was a show that was split into 5 series telling
the story of several people with super powers
and who try to live everyday lives. It has a few
main characters :
4. Peter Petrelli- He started having dreams about him
flying and eventually found out that he could do much
more. His power is empathic mimicry, which is the
ability to absorb and use other peoples powers. He is
played by actor Milo Ventimiglia.

5. Hiro Nakumaura- Hiro starts off in the series as him
trying to use his powers for good and become a hero,
but it usually lands him as well as other people in the
series in some danger, but he always comes through as
the hero at the end of the day. His power is time and
space manipulation. He is played by actor Masi Oka.

cheerleader confused with not just everyday teenage
life but dealing with her powers as well. She later goes
on to become a much bigger role in all the heroes lives.
Her power is the ability to rapidly heal from any injury

8. Nathan Petrelli- Being the brother of someone who believes they can
fly is one thing, but knowing that you can actually fly is something a lot
more. Nathan plays the supporting brother to Peter throughout
Heroes and doesn’t once falter to help him as well as some other
Heroes in their hour of need and also runs a successful campaign in
becoming senator for New York. His power is flight. He is played by
