She's not just fast. She's very fast. Meet Daphne, the speedy new character on NBC's Heroes, who
plans to give the show's superhumans - especially time traveler Hiro and his
sidekick, Ando - a run for their money when she debuts on the popular NBC
series' upcoming third season, which went back into production last week. "I'm
stealing a secret that's been kept in Hiro's family for a long time that he's
just now found," Brea Grant told The Associated Press during a break in filming
on location in a high-rise building in downtown Los Angeles. "He stops time
right as I grab it, but in that second it took him to grab it, I almost make it
out of the office." Grant doesn't know much about her mysterious new character.
Daphne's superpower allows her to operate at three speeds and leave a supersonic
wake in her path when Hiro stops time. Grant's not sure where Daphne is from,
but she does know the Speedster - that's what she calls herself - has been on
her own for a long time. "Her character is supposed to be Hiro's Joker," said
Masi Oka, who plays Hiro. "Batman has The
Joker. Hiro has Daphne. This is the season where Hiro finally finds his arch
nemesis, and it happens to be this Speedster. I kind of equate it more to Wile
E. Coyote and the Road Runner, except Daphne says more than 'meep-meep."' The
third season is titled "Villains," and will pick up immediately following the
events of the second season, which was cut short because of the writers strike.
Viewers will learn about the fates of several characters when the show returns
in September, including who shot Nathan Petrelli. (dp: three guesses the shooter
