"Heroes" Part 3: The Challenges Quiz

Answer: wedding reception

This episode explains the events that occurred during the four months between seasons 1 and 2. In this scene, Maya's brother Alejandro has just gotten married, although she isn't too fond of his new bride. To make matters worse, Maya discovers her cheating on Alejandro at the wedding reception. Maya is furious and her power activates for the first time, killing everyone at the reception... except herself and her brother.

Answer: Takezo Kensei

Takezo Kensei was the name he used back in 1671. In modern time, he is known as Adam Monroe. It is revealed that he used his healing power so many times that new cells were produced as quickly as the old ones died, rendering him effectively ageless.

Answer: with a knife

For many episodes (but this one especially), Alejandro tries to convince Maya that Sylar is a bad man. Alejandro eventually sees a newspaper article related to Sylar killing his mother. However, Maya chooses to continue on with Sylar to New York City.

Answer: Nathan

Nathan Petrelli is shot at a press conference when he is about to reveal to the world that he can fly. It is later revealed in "The Butterfly Effect" that the one who shot him was a future version of his brother Peter.

Answer: False

Upon attacking Claire to acquire her ability, Claire asks if he is going to eat her brain, to which Sylar replies "Claire. That's disgusting."

In truth, it seems he examines the brain and finds the neural pathway that is responsible for their ability. Since Sylar's innate ability is Intuitive Aptitude (the ability to understand complex systems), finding the root of their abilities is relatively easy for him.

Answer: Jesse Murphy, sound manipulation

Jesse Murphy was played by Francis Capra, who is well known from the hit UPN / CW series "Veronica Mars".

Jesse is killed in the next episode, "One of Us, One of Them".

Answer: suffocation

Claire wants to prove that because she cannot be physically hurt, she is no match for any foe. Meredith proves her wrong by enclosing her in a small space and heating up the container until there is insufficient oxygen, which causes a great deal of discomfort to Claire.

Answer: Nathan Petrelli

Tracy attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. However, Nathan flies in and saves her at the last second. Later, she shows Nathan her ability to freeze things.

Answer: Arthur

Arthur Petrelli is played by Robert Forster, and is an integral part of Volume 3 of "Heroes". He has the power to take the abilities of others through physical contact. In his reunion with his son Peter, Arthur takes all of his abilities.

Answer: Sandra

Eric Doyle is played by David H. Lawrence XVII. He has the ability to control a person's physical actions, as if they were a puppet under his control. Since Doyle was a puppet master with his own marionette theater, his ability is very much in tune with his personality.

Sandra shoots Claire repeatedly in this twisted game of Russian Roulette, but Claire regenerates quickly and knocks Doyle out.

Answer: Matt used his ability to manipulate Knox's mind.

After Knox leaves, the scene dissolves and the real Matt and Daphne appear, revealing that he had used his advanced telepathy to manipulate Knox's mind and make him think what was happening was real.

Answer: Hiro

Hiro's drug-induced vision quest sends him back to several key points in the series past, and many sequences actually overlap with the proper continuity.

In one scene, Thompson asks Meredith why she hates the company, and she explains that her daughter died as she tried to escape them. Knowing that Claire is in fact still alive, he lets her go. At this moment, Claire is seen in the background rushing into the train wreck to save a man, revealing it to be the same train wreck from the pilot episode, "Genesis".

Answer: False

Sylar is actually able to acquire this ability through a form of empathic mimicry, similar to Peter. The level of Sylar's empathy in this episode allowed him to overcome his thirst for power and absorb her ability without resorting to murder. Elle is left unharmed after he acquires this ability, and the two of them actually bond from the experience.

Answer: It causes them to lose their ability.

The eclipse negates all abilities, whether physical abilities like Nathan's flying (he falls out of the sky during the eclipse) or mental abilities like Sylar's telekinesis (which simply does not work).

Answer: The Haitian's

The Haitian's brother goes by the alias "Baron Samedi", which is a figure in the Haitian Vodou religion.

Samedi has impenetrable skin, which grants him a greater resistance to physical injury than an average human. It is different from Claire's ability, which still allows her skin to be penetrated, but when the foreign object is removed, her skin regenerates back to its original form.

Well, that's it! Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoyed it!
