There is an incredibly powerful being guiding the events in Heroes, whether it be god or an evolved human.	None.	+ Most of the prophecies made by Isaac, Peter and Sylar are only relevant to the events that involve them; what are the chances that Isaac would paint Hiro's battle with Adam in Out of Time in the same series as the painting of Noah being shot by Mohinder? The events are 400 years apart. (The Line) + Something prevents Hiro from causing a rift through time travel. + Despite painting a grim future, Nathan exhibits free will by flying Peter above New York City.
Mythological figures in the world of Heroes were actually evolved humans.	None.	+ Bob has the power to turn objects into gold, like King Midas. His computer password reflects the legend. (Powerless) - Bob is not King Midas. Bob lives in the present. King Midas (assuming he is real in Heroes) lived in the past. + Abilities repeat; Nathan and West can both fly, Adam and Claire can both regenerate, Maury and Matt are both telepathic, Richard Drucker and Hana both have electronic data transception, Meredith and the Company agent Maarten can both manipulate fire. + Takezo Kensei was a mythological Japanese hero. In reality, he was the combination of an evolved human with immortality and an evolved human with the power to bend time and space. The legend of Kensei was exaggerated by Yaeko. (Out of Time) + Kaito tells Hiro that they have the power of gods, but should not play God. (Cautionary Tales) - Heroes will probably not touch upon mythological figures as it may be culturally or religiously offensive to some. - It has been theorized that Adam was the first evolved human and the patriarch of all abilities.
