• Daniel Lawrence "D. L." Hawkins | ||||||
Six months prior to most of the series' events, D. L. was a construction worker.
He and his wife Niki were having financial troubles and construction didn't pay very well.
At one point, they considered letting Niki's father, Hal, into their lives.
Because he is successful in the stock market, Hal seemed like he could be a
good grandfather and help them financially. However, they soon realized
he was still the same abusive, short tempered man that Niki had tried to forget
and did not accept him back into their lives. At some point, D. L. began leading
a group of criminals who all wore skull rings. Ultimately, he left the gang before
they stole two million dollars and killed a security guard, but he was arrested for the crime.
Frustrated by police and his general situation, he discovered he possessed the ability to phase
through solid matter. Although he did not consider it freedom,
D. L. used his power to escape prison in hopes of clearing his name and protecting his family.
D. L. first appeared near the end of "Hiros", the fifth episode. Niki's home had been placed under heavy guard by police due to their suspicion that he would come to her. Despite this, D. L. was able to enter the house and spy on his family. In the sixth episode, D. L. revealed his presence to Niki and Micah. He tried to convince his wife that he was innocent, and traveled with her to an undisclosed facility. Within, they found the mutilated corpses of several men. After Niki and D. L. returned home, he found out that she was the one who had framed him and taken the $2 million. They fought, and during the fight D. L. used his phasing abilities to reach through Niki's abdomen to choke her. D. L. ran, taking a worried Micah and the money, leaving Niki on the floor. Over the course of the next few episodes, D. L. drove his son far from Niki. In the Heroes graphic novel "The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 2", Niki informs Micah that D. L. is in the hospital. Niki says that D. L. will be fine and that the doctors are taking care of him. However, subsequent "chat logs" at a related web site detail a conversation between Hana Gitelman and Micah, indicating that D. L. had died. In the episode "Kindred", Niki and Micah visit D. L.'s grave before leaving Las Vegas. |
