Here's some juicy tidbits of Heroes Season 3: Villians, premiering September 22nd, 2008:

• Mind reader Matt…is banished to the African savanna, after discovering who shot Nathan Petrelli

• Nerdy professor Mohinder develops a serum that gives him Hulk-like strength and then has hot, messy sex (a Heroes first!)- with high strung but deadly Maya
• Glimpses into the future show sweet Claire as a gun-wielding wacko and mild-mannered Ando killing his best buddy, Hiro
• Ali Larter returns, but as a totally different character: political adviser Tracy Strauss, who is sleeping with the governor of New York (did Niki really die last season?)
• Sylar stalks Claire and saws the top of her skull off to get to her brain, so that he can steal her power of indestructibility
• Claire survives, but no longer feels pain after Sylar's attack and after losing the only thing that made her feel human, is angry and wants to fight back

• Some of the 12 want revenge on HRG for bagging and tagging them
• Some of the villains were wrongly put behind bars and may not be as bad as you think
• Super baddie Knox’s power is super strength gained from fear of his victims. (Its fair to assume he stores it and that is why he is in restraints)
