Since Heroes Season 3 is right around the corner, I thought it'd be a good idea to get some discussion going about the show. A good way to start that is to find out which characters are you favorites. I only included characters that have been in the show's main credits, so if someone else is your favorite you can select "Other" and let us know in the thread.
My favorite characters are Nathan Petrelli and Matt Parkman. While I am sure they are some of the lesser popular characters (usually overshadowed by Peter, Sylar, Hiro, or Claire), they have had some great arcs and I quickly became a fan of both in Season 1.
I especially became a fan of Nathan when he was established as the show's "anti-hero" type character in Season 1. Most of the other characters are pretty cut and dry when it comes to their alignment (Good/Evil), whereas Nathan has had to make some pretty tough choices over the course of the first two seasons.
Luckily at the end of Season 1 and the end of Season 2, he made some selfless choices which both nearly resulted in his death. The first was, obviously, sacrificing himself so that Peter wouldn't destroy New York City, and the second was when he was shot delivering a press conference that would reveal the "Heroes" abilities to the world.
So those are my two picks for the poll, and for the record, here's my top 5 favorite characters:
1. Nathan Petrelli 2. Matt Parkman 3. Noah Bennet / "Horn-Rimmed Glasses" 4. Claire Bennet 5. Peter Petrelli

I really like most of the characters but my top five are:
Niki Nathan Matt Elle Monica (Sadly I think she won't be back anytime soon)
Niki & Nathan got my vote for the poll. As you can imagine I was quite sad at the end of Season 2 and currently I'm not really sure I'm happy with the "Niki's dead, here comes Tracy" twist. We'll see.

Ooooh I loved Eden, too bad she died, but in my opinion it was the best death ( and one of the best scenes ) on the show!

I put down Elle Bishop and Sylar/Gabriel Gray. I just began watching Heroes since the third season started. So my views could change if I get all caught up.

Nathan is by far my favorite character on the show. Here's to hoping they don't kill him again at the end of this season, although considering the last two, it might not stick. He is one of the best actors, and has the most interesting personalities and character...many others, like Claire and Peter, are just way too obvious and (no offense to anyone who likes them) they make a ridiculous amount of really dumb decisions. I also like Ando, Noah, Sylar, and Adam (RIP)...though there isn't really many characters i dislike that are still part of the cast.

I voted Monica Dawson and Matt Parkman. Simply because it would be an epic win to be able to do ANYTHING I see. As well as read minds and such.
I am curious to see what they do with Monica in Volume 4: Fugitives, she is supposed to be back. I hope the evolve her power some more.
