I would be interested to hear any extrapolations, Matt.
The title is a giveaway, i doubt it is misdirection. It offers a
possible explanation of what Hiro is doing so far back in the past. I
expect he will receive lessons in Bushido, etc. It doesn't really give
any clues to what happens post (near miss) apocalypse.

Not really. Some of it was just slow powers to understand/grasp
(Peter). Some of it was external "augmentation" of some sort (Ted,
Matt). Some of it was accidental discovery (Claire, Hiro). There
wasn't one event particular. It mostly seems a coincidence that the
slice of 17-35 year olds Season 1 focused on all got to know their
powers in roughly the same 6 month period. There are enough people
outside of that window on the show to suggest that powers have been
around for a while (Linderman, Devaux, Ms. Petrelli, Claude Rains,
possibly quite a few others).
The next "Chapter" of Heroes (Season 2) is titled "Generations".
Huge spoilerish extrapolation:
Heroes seems to be implying that the "hero" talents really are just
about as common as dirt; possibly dating in the gene pool as far back
as at least the 17th Century Japan... I think that this focus on
multiple generations "just below the surface" and yet not much more
distinct than the average person could be built up really well. If
done well I think it would be one of the major things truly setting
this storyline apart from the similar ones (frex: X-Men) and slightly
more realistic from a genetics standpoint (not that "mutant powers"
ever can be all that genetically realistic)...
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the writers expand this
mythos in the coming seasons...
