New "Hero" is Hiro's Nemesis
 On The 'Heroes' TV Show!

Looks like NBC's 'Heroes'  writers are creating villians right and left! 

First, Bruce Boxleitner is set to appear next season playing a politician.  (That has to be an evil character, right?) 

Now, the show announces the addition of "Daphne" a super-speedy new character (played by Friday Night Lights' Brea Grant) who plagues time-traveling Hiro.

"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."'

Interesting, and if it involves our favorite 'Heroes' character, Hiro, it better be!

We'll have to wait until September to find out. 

The third season starts right where last season left off - and we learn who shot Nathan!  We'll have more 'Heroes'  updates after Comic Con in July.

So What's your thoughts on this new 'Heroes' cast add-on along with our blog post on Boxleitner yesterday?
