Heroes Fans, Who do you think REBEL is?
 

My first thought was Micah, but I think someone would almost have to be working with him. I'm just curious to see what some other Heroes fans think.

I honestly don't know, but it's intriguing to think about it. Maybe it's someone we have yet to meet.

There really haven't been any hints as to who it is, so they could be setting it up to introduce a new character. Hmmm...

I'm going to go nuts over the next 2 weeks. When last night's episode ended I realized I was biting a quilt! I guess I was into it... :evilgrin:

It can have that effect on you. Trust me.

Sylar. No question about that. Everything in that show is Sylar. It's Sylar's show for it is Sylar who matters. Nobody else. Everyone else fails. Thus Rebel is Sylar.

It's Jesus.

Its probably something stupid, like Micah.

The last episode kinda suggests it might be Nathan considering that Claire got a message that her house was going to be broken into in 30 seconds, and next thing we see, Nathan is there with Claire outside her window.

But... It could still be someone else.
I partly believe it could be Noah Bennet.
But yeah, it might even be Micah. And that would be rather lame.

I think it would be cool if it was that chick from season 1 who can read and send satilite signals.

Nathan did get there awfully fast. But he's the one who started everything, so I can't quite figure why he'd want Claire to help them get away.

Do you mean Hana Gitelman? I wish her character had been more explored on the show like she was in the graphic novel. Her ability certainly "fits" with what REBEL is doing.

Noah would have the knowledge to REBEL.

My suspects:
Noah Bennet
Angela Petrelli
The Haitian (we saw his brother, but he STILL hasn't been given a name)
Micah (hadn't even considered it until reading this thread, but it makes sense that they didn't just write him in this season to set-up Niki's long-lost sister)

Since it seems to be the direction the show is taking lately, it's more likely something crazy like Matt Jr. (dunno what other significance the kid could have) or Lyle even (surely they don't keep bringing him back on screen just to have him look like a clueless dummy without intending to give him a more significant role; he's untapped potential). The writing really has gotten sloppy past the first season though. Nothing past the Kenzo storyline even seemed scripted anymore. They're just like, "Hey, y'know what would be really effed-up? Actually, let's just run with that. Action!" Quite likely, there was no right answer to this question until they wrote the episode where it's all revealed, whichever one that might be.
I don't remember her. What was her role in the show?

Or it could be Claude. I heard he might be coming back this season.

I'm thinking it's Micah. He can talk to technological stuff, so maybe he can get word what the agents are doing when they communicate with each other over the phone of CB's.

Or maybe it's someone we haven't met yet. Something tells me Angela may know about it too!

And it's good to see other Heroes fans! Hi everyone!

Hana Gitelman. She only appeared in 2 episodes the 1st season. She was the one who contacted Ted Sprague via messaging. Her ability is that she can interrupt communications, and change emails, texts, etc. She had a much larger role in the graphic novel.

I'm kind of wondering if it is Micah, is someone working with him, and could it be Angela???



I hadn't heard that, but that could explain why REBEL has inside info, because he actually is inside Building 26, it's just nobody can see him!

REBEL will be revealed on the March 23rd ep. Incidentally rumour has it that Micah's gonna show up sometime in this arc....hmmm...I was kinda thinking it was Hannah tho.

You know, it could be Micah, too. I guess we'll find out on the 23rd. Does anyone know why it's not new for two weeks?

I thought of another possible REBEL, what about Molly? She can find anyone, maybe she could be working with Micah?

Here's what HeroesWiki is saying;

I just thought of something. What if Rebel is Nikki and Tracy's missing sister, Barbara! Remember that Dr. Zimmerman said there were 3 of em and we've yet to meet Barbara.

I never thought of her! And we don't know what her ability is, so it very well could be manipulation of commincation and electronics.

So, you think Sylar is going to kill Danko?

If so, she'd need to be working with Micha. Her motive would come out of nowhere otherwise.
That would be nice. I'm still ticked he lets that kid live, frustratingly lame little creep he is...

On some Heroes fansites I visit, a few people seem to think that Sylar will join forces with Danko. I hope that doesn't happen, but it could be possible. Personally, I hope he kills him, but I don't see them offing the Danko character so quickly.

I didn't even think about Niki's sister or Molly. Sounds intriguing.

I seen that. Rumor is

Tonight is the night! New spoilers!

[quote] Throughout Heroes' "Fugitives" volume, many of the super-powered world savers have been communicating with and taking orders from a mysterious ally named Rebel. This Monday (at 9pm/ET, on NBC), the truth behind that mystery will be revealed. But before that happens, Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) has to babysit a little one seemingly connected to Matt Parkman. We caught up with Oka to get the details on this diapered distraction, what Rebel is really up to, and just when (if it all) Hiro will get his powers back. /QUOTE]

Here is a summary of some of the key moments from the interview;

Like we all figured!

****ing called it.

Ok, so it's really no surprise if you know the actors' real names. It was obvious who Rebel was as soon as his real name appeared at the beginning under "guest star". It was also predictable foreshadowing when both Kristen Bell and Brea Grant started to be listed as guest stars.

Well, at least the little summary that comes up when you press the "Info" button on the remote didn't spoil it this time, like it did several times for Lost, listing Walt and Libby in episodes in which the viewer would have otherwise been surprised to see them in, long after their character was written out of the show as a part of the regular cast.

EDIT: Jeez, all this talk about Rebel this and Rebel that and...

I thought that sequence was hella cheesy, but at least the writers are showing nuts by actually killing off a central character. I would've preferred Mohinder, but it's a start. I was losing faith in the writers what with all the plot holes, senseless scenarios and stuffing us with dumb Claire antics. Thank God they're getting their groove back.

I had a feeling Micah was Rebel. I actually predicted this way back when Rebel helped Peter Petrelli and Matt Parkman when they were in the little SWAT team's headquarters. I'm glad he came back more mature, because he was such a little s*** back when he was smaller. Looks like puberty treated him well.

Anyway, I'm glad Heroes is looking to finish a little strong this season.

Oh, and Ando hitting a Shinkuu Hadouken = Greatest scene in Heroes EVAAARRR!!!

That was horribly sad. I'm just glad Mohinder was there with him. Poor Matt, he has been through so much.

The show took some unexpected turns last night. The part that I still don't quite get was

Comedy with Hiro and Ando?? O_o I'll believe it when I see it. *fires up the DVR*

Ok, question, does anyone else think that the last few weeks the episodes haven't been the best? Last night's episode was a little better, but it seems that since they revealed Micah as REBEL, things have gone downhill. I don't know, I'm holding out hope for next week, and regardless I'm in until the series finale of the show, but this week I found myself looking way more forward to Chuck than Heroes. So, what does everyone think?

I disagree. Last night's was wrought with turmoil for some of the more despicable characters, that turned out very watchable. Sylar vs. Noah and Matt vs. Danko... using their powers and the opponent's loved ones like that. The thing is, I actually thought

You're right, especially the Matt vs. Danko, I really enjoyed that storyline. Last week's episode was like watching paint dry for me though.

As for Noah...

I thought the same thing for a second or two. Last week's ep was kinda lame, but this week's has me intrigued as to what they're currently setting up. I still get ticked that they completely neglect certain developments for several episodes, then have one significant plot point display that one element as if to say, "we didn't forget, we were just pretending we did", like they did with Ando's artificial power. But, I guess that's a forgivable irritant. Still, it seems to me that Or is that just me?

I agree, Micah is a good example, we don't see him for an eon, then he's revealed to be Rebel, and then he disappears again. I'd kind of like to know where he is.

No I'm with you on that also. I haven't had a chance to read #132 of the graphic novel yet, I'm kind of wondering if it will talk about anything additional that didn't make the show???

This article was mentioned on the 9th Wonder boards this morning. What do you think?

Ando Talks! Heroes Season Finale Secrets Revealed

I think the Coyote Sands story is turning out to be pretty dull. And, I was actually looking forward to this explanation... What does everyone else think?

I think that since we're in the last episodes of the season, this week's "1961" episode and the next episode, "I Am Sylar" are going to be set-ups for the finale, "An Invisible Line". Monday's episode is going to be very Sylar-centric obviously, so I'm pretty intrigued. One thing about Monday's episode that gave me a grin, was when Angela made the comment that whenever she feels lost, whenever she doesn't know what to do she steals socks. That was something that happened in "Genesis" that was never explained, and I thought that was pretty cool. The question is, should a new company be formed? And will Hiro and Ando be the ones to take down Building 26 (which seemed to be the name of the building at Coyote Sands also) or will Danko stop them? I'm getting quite geeked for the finale! LOL!

I don't remember that, but that sure is cool. ^_^
And a valid yet absurd question it is. "I'm Angela Patrelli, and I don't want history to repeat itself. That's why I'm going to make the same decisions I did 48 years ago that turned out so well." I can't help but be amused at the sheer idiocy of that logic.

But, was I the only one to recall that future scenario where Peter finds out Sylar was impersonating Nathan at the end of Monday's ep?

On the Heroes forum I go on they are calling it the "56 episode plot hole" :)

Really! In some bizarro world that may make sense, but "this time it's a family" just doesn't quite cut it logically. Unless this company learns from the prior company's mistakes. According to that James Kyson Lee interview, Volume 5 might be called "Redemption" so maybe???

YES!!! Remember this showdown from Season 1? (I looked up the quotes to make sure I remembered this right.)

Peter “You’re gonna pay for what you did to Nathan, what you did in his name!”
Sylar “What I did?! When I killed Nathan he had already turned against his own kind”.

Hmmm...
