Meet the New Heroes Season 3 Villains…
USA Today has a great, in depth article on some (but not all) of the new villains that will be turning the lives of our heroes upside down in the upcoming Heroes Season 3. We already know about some of them — Knox and Jesse, to name just two — but the article has a closer (and very revealing) look at more of the villains, including their powers and their relationship (some are closer than others) to familiar heroes from the past. Hey, Tim Kring and company aren’t calling this opening narrative of Season 3 “Villains” for nothing, you know. Some of these boys are very, very bad, indeed. Plus, there’s also ONE BIG SPOILER involved, so as always, do not read on unless you want to know more.
And the bad boys of Season 3 are …
7 of the 12 villains that will be unleashed from The Company’s Level 5, from left: Ken Lally as The German, David H. Lawrence as Eric Doyle, Jamie Hector as Benjamin “Knox” Washington, Blake Shields as Flint, Francis Capra as Jesse Murphy, Andre Royo as Stephen Canfield, Demetrius Grosse as Samedi.
Here’s another look at the villains from Greg Beeman‘s blog:
Below, a closer look at five of them:
Francis Capra as Jesse Murphy.
Power: Can project concussive power through the use of his voice.
Note: All hints seem to indicate that Peter Petrelli is “hidden” inside Jesse’s body, presumably by Future Peter.
Jamie Hector as Benjamin “Knox” Washington.
Power: Gains strength by feeding off the fears of those around him.
Note: A one-time gang leader, and now the leader of the Level 5 escapees. He’s a tough mofo. Takes on Sylar and gets away with it, and you have to be pretty tough to do that.
Ken Lally as The German.
Power: Can manipulate steel.
Note: Magneto of the X-Men? If his power is similar to Magneto’s, then he has the potential of being the most powerful of the villains.
David H. Lawrence as Eric Doyle.
Power: A puppeteer who can make people do whatever he wants.
Note: Originally, it was hinted that Peter Petrelli was hidden inside him; that would seem not to be the case now. Is Doyle’s puppeteering power responsible for Peter’s condition?
Blake Shields as Flint.
Power: Can shoot blue fire from his hands.
Note: “He has a family connection to a familiar hero”. Also, he’s a Texans. He’s obviously related to Meredith Gordon, Claire’s mother, who can generate fire from her hands.
Nice
No female villains? Aww….
I aggree. There should be more female villians.
They said 12 villains … we can see 7 faces!Are the remain 5 females?could be!
From a Utube vid.. it looks likes Niki, Adam, Angela (peters mother), Bob (Matts dad) and Sylar are the other 5.. but what i want to know.. what are the powers of the other lot? (of the 2 on the right of that group pic)
The guy who can make you do what he wants looks crazy !!! hehe , but cool , I wonder what trouble they’ll start ???
oooo… it gets better and better every time i come to this site…. lets do it up villains and heroes… YES!!
These guys are scary!
Awsome!! But I have to say that the power to make people do whatever you want has been done to death. First it was that woman who worked with H.R.G who would tell someone to do something verbally, then there was Parkmans dad Maury, and then Parkman discovered that he could do it. Also, I don’t get the metal manipulation power. It’s just a more limited version of telikenesis.
Yeah I agree, but it would be cool to see the mental manipulation guys go head to head to she who is stronger! And this Knox guy gets stronger from peoples fears??? like stronger how??? and he takes on Sylar and gets away with it??? thats nuts!
So someone Sylar has to really try to fight huh thats kinda cool but Knox sounds kinda lame “I am Know, fear me and watch me get more powerfull hahaha” I doubt he can really take Sylar.
Knox does take on Sylar at one point. The man seems fearless. POTENTIAL SPOILERS here from a future episode. Scroll down to the card near the middle.

Well those types of controls are differnt
Woman who worked with HRG = persuasion – persuades people to do things not really control
Parkmans = Mind control
Eric = Body Control
You’re right about Eden’s (Woman) power, that’s why Sylar could kill her after she told him to kill himself, he didn’t obey. But I really want to know what Eric’s ability is exactly.
I wanna see someone with the ability to know everything about a person just by looking at them or touching them maybe not a villain per se but i think it would be cool. what powers would you guys like to see?
I would love to see someone with a super IQ genius who uses his\her intelligence to create weapons and gadgets like Forge from the X-men.
there is sum 1 like not 4 long she has this 2 min part but dies by sylar on lvl 5 and peter nathan and sylar brothers!!!!! because they have the same mom and mohinder and ando get powers im not telling wut kind tho just w8 and see
Your wish was granted in Episode 0 – she was introduced to Sylar, and then was heard screaming as Angela walked away from his cell.
I’d like to see someone have a mixture of Wolverine’s retracktable claw’s, Colossus’s metal coating, Spyke’s spikes, and the Terminator T-1000′s liquidifation
Liquidfication i mean
I think that would be a little over the top for the show, the metal skin, and liquification of self would be cool tho
what about someone who can blind people or cast pitch black shodows in a x amount radious x being whatever number square inch or whatever being able to spread darkness would be cool for a villain
a funny power would be to change someones gender lol, how would you like boobs ?
Maybe they will have some control shadows.
SOMEONE control shadows i mean
or someone who controls sand from out of a LARGE gourd
If Future Peter traps present Peter inside that guy, he had better get him out by the end of the season. How crazy would it be if F.Peter, P.Peter and Sylar team up to kick some villain ass! that would rock.
I think the German looks the most sinister and the most deadly. Knox seems kind of lame. Flint looks pretty badass. I don’t like Jesse or Eric.
This is THE GERMAN, Ken Lally, check out my web page at http://www.myspace.com/kenlally
I wonder if one of the 12 villains is Maury parkan matts dad. or maybe he’ll just be released while the other 12 escape and isnt one of the 12 villains
i also think there should be someone with a different and more powerful version of ted’s power. maybe someone who can shoot like beems of radiation everywhere. Ted’s power was pretty extreme though.
Maybe Echo is one of the people that escape Level 5
Also Howard Grigsby is said to be looked in Level 5
Well if it is Echo lets hope his girlfriend is still around lol HOT
two words:
blinding awesomeness
PS:
Knox
sounds like
hey you I knox, knox lights out of peter and sylar
takes on sylar and “gets away w/it…have to be tough?”…..dude, CLAIRE took out sylar with one knock upside the head with a trophy, MOHINDER took out sylar by rolling a bookcase (or something) at him, PETER (b4 his abilities) took out sylar by pile driving off a roof with him, the winona ryder looking/PERSUASION CHICK took out sylar by telling him to go to sleep…..i doesnt appear that he’s the one whos been really doing much of the whoopin…..
…..and yeah, the german looks potentially cool^10, im imagining the whole standing on a floting slate of iron thing with iron marbles circling the dude right now…(doubt they’ll actually make him as cool as magneto tho =P)
yeah your right sylar got his ass kicked nuff times lol
If in England, come say hello at the London movie, comic and media convention 10/25 and 26, and MAYBE the San Jose comicon 10/4 and 5!
So awesome to have these new characters! Much better than the new characters in S2. Better look, story, and all around great potential adding them to the show.
