• Matt Parkman | ||||||
Matt Parkman is an officer for the LAPD, busy securing a crime scene, when he discovers he has the power of hearing people's thoughts. This enables him to locate a missing girl. However, upon mentioning the name "Sylar", Matt is arrested, but proves to Audrey that his power is real, and goes to work for the FBI. Meanwhile, after a row with his wife, Matt goes to a Los Angeles bar, collapses, and wakes up strapped to a table in a medical facility. Mr. Bennet instructs a mysterious man to "clean [Matt] out." Later, he discovers he has two marks on his neck, something he shares in common with Ted Sprague, the FBI's newest target.
Obsessed with Mr. Bennet, Matt orders a SWAT raid on Primatech Paper Co., which ultimately proves to be a bust. He is suspended from his job, takes a job as a body guard, and take some diamonds. Desperate, Matt joins with the fugitive Ted to confront Mr. Bennet in his own home. When things turn sour, Matt is apprehended by the Company, but quickly escapes his cell with Bennet's help. He joins with others to head to New York City and destroy the Walker System, and is horrified to learn that the system is actually Molly. Matt uses Molly's locating ability to hunt down Sylar at Kirby Plaza. However, just as he shoots the serial killer, Sylar telekinetically stops the bullets and flings them into Matt's abdomen, leaving him wounded. |

| Powers |
| Matt has the power of telepathy, an ability that he has until recently only been able to use to hear thoughts. In Fight or Flight, Matt was able to project his thoughts to another in a moment of crisis, though he could not explain what happened afterwards. In Out of Time, Matt's power grew as he was able to bring Maury into the "nightmare" that Maury placed Molly into. Matt then overcame his father's advanced use of telepathy to trap Maury the same way Maury trapped Molly. Matt is sometimes unable to control his abilities and can be overwhelmed by intense thoughts, which cause him severe headaches. |
