The main characters in the first season of "Heroes" include:
- Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) - a high school cheerleader with the ability to regenerate any part of her body.
- Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) - a Japanese office worker who can manipulate time and space.

- Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) - a genetics professor who is investigating the origins of these abilities.
- Niki Sanders (Ali Larter) - a Las Vegas stripper with superhuman strength.
Throughout the first season, these characters and others discover their powers, learn to control them, and face off against various villains who are also aware of these abilities. The season is structured around a larger narrative arc that involves preventing a catastrophic event that could lead to the destruction of New York City.
