Heroes TV series: Top Lame Deaths

Top Lame Deaths in Heroes series. Let’s face it, some of the characters were either played by great actors and actresses, they had a good story and were in several episodes, or they had potential for great story. Instead, they died in the worst way and here is their role call from worst to first:

Marine with super powers – broken neck by Knox, so much for the super strength or anything substantial for that matter.

Bob Bishop – slaughtered by Sylar, was to be a great villain I would assume but yeah nobody cared still. Sylar used the power he gained once so far. Why doesn’t he just turn his enemies into gold?

Ted Sprague – slaughtered by Sylar, whines about being in pain after the van flips and Sylar comes to kill him, didn’t he think to explode and kill Sylar?

Jesse Murphy – slaughtered by Sylar, was built up to be a super-villain, the scariest, and the worst of all by HRG and others but his ability was a quiet soundwave that could knock people out of chairs. Funny, Sylar has never once used the ability once. Makes you wonder if he even took it.

Alejandro Herrera – slaughtered by Sylar, had potential to lead into further story with Sylar and Maja but Sylar pretty much owns him and all potential was squashed.

Adam Monroe – disintegrated by Arthur Petrelli, a great villain at the beginning, brought back with potential yet just thrown away and how come others didn’t suffer the same fate when Arthur took their powers?

Maury Parkman – broken neck by Arthur Petrelli, how anti-climatic after this character spent several episodes tricking others to simply die trying to save his son and to top it off, he could have tricked Arthur Petrelli too leading to more story with this character.

DL Hawkins – killed by random bar patron, had a great story and actor but was killed in an anti-climatic scene by a nobody.

Arthur Petrelli – shot by Sylar, granted the Haitian was muffling Arthur’s powers but what about Sylar’s powers? Also, I thought he had to be shot in the back of the head to actually truly die.

Elle Bishop – slaughtered by Sylar, great actress and potential for a love story and villain and villainess. Instead she is thrown away after all between her and Sylar so Sylar can cohort with Angela Petrelli. BORING!!! And she didn’t even lie to Sylar. But at least we don’t really know if she died, Sylar could have burnt a pile of rags?

Niki Sanders – unknown, she was supposed to be burned to death but she has an open casket funeral. She also had super strength and could have smashed her way out of a building house. Poor Ali Larter, shades of Final Destination 2 character death scene all over and still crappy.

Gabriel ‘Sylar’ Gray – stabbed by Claire Bennett, for a man of such stature and power, to be snuck up on and stabbed is beneath him, especially since he recently gained the power of super hearing. How he didn’t hear Claire coming when he should be able to was over-looked of course. Maybe the Haitian was hiding in the closet. Oh but wait, Sylar was using his powers on Angela right then. I think we may see him again. The company burns but so does Sylar and eventually the glass with fall out of his burned body and he will heal.
