When Hiro teleports himself into the future and watches Japan, I guess exploding! He sees Future Ando & his future self arguing! Future Hiro pulls out sword yells, Future Ando shoots red... lightning? Kills Future Hiro and what not. Now during this it never dawned on me about the way Future Hiro looks until watching Second Coming again. Future Peter still looks the same from Season 1 yet this Future Hiro looks like Hiro now... Could it be that since Ando doesnt die in this reality because Peter didnt explode, on the ground at least! That we dont see bad a** Future Hiro? Hiro never has to deal with the loss of Ando so he doesnt go all dark and crazy? What do you think? Will we ever see Bad a** Future Hiro again!?!

That's future Hiro 2.0
The badass F-Hiro we all know and love doesn't exist anymore but I must admit I do like him more. F-Hiro 2.0 still has glasses!!! lol...

Rotfl, sadly I dont think we'll see him again or anything like.
But to be honest most of the reason I like Hiro is because of his dorkiness, it's funny and adorable. XDD

I like future hiro 2.0

I love Future Ando with his red beam!

Uh....did he say how far into the future he traveled? Because the "bad-a**" Future Hiro is from FIVE YEARS into the future.

When he was in the future in Japan, it looked like they might have been a year or less older. You can tell by the hair alone. Future Hiro has long hair and present Hiro has shorter hair. So I wouldn't write off "bad-a**" Future Hiro just yet. I'm thinking he was like an "intermediary" stage between nerdy Hiro and Future Hiro.

These two pictures are the only clear ones I can find of him. He still looks like his nerdy stage, but his clothing is darker.

Hiro 2.0

Hiro 2.0 again

I wonder how F.Ando get his "red beam"...

Well, I think it's pretty obvious. From Mohinder's serum.

He looks pretty cool. I'm also assuming that this is the f_Nathan, as he looks very creepy.

It hardly looks like Nathan, I can almost see some Sylar in there......or I'm imagining things. Either way, that picture doesn't do Adrian Pasdar any justice.

His face looks too different. some photoshoppin to aid the Sylar fostering.

Hehe yeah, maybe they tried it that way but failed miserably. But is this really a new cover? I thought it was an old one from season 2

Hmm, so it is. Check the date in the top right,... it says May 2007 doesn't it? But that looks identical to f_Hiro 2.0. Thats a real oddity btw.

Hehe, maybe the Future Hiro 2.0 isn't that far into the future, or whoever made the picture on that cover is actually a Hero himself and checked the future season of Heroes........

Actually if you think about it. Villains was meant to be out in season 2, so that is for this season. Just a over year early.

that is a promo shoot for five years gone. IT was taken with Zachary and Adrian then they merge the two pics to symbolize Sylar's Acting as Nathan.

What about that pic of Hiro though?

It could have been Sylar instead of Ando...

We're also assuming that the red lightning kills. Could be that Ando - or whoever looks like him - was set to stun.

I don't think we'll ever see the badass F-Hiro from Season 1. See, that Hiro was birthed from all the events that occurred because of New York exploding and Ando dying.

OMG I love it... more Star Trek for Hiro and Ando!

I think it does. I think they made the scene as short as possible to hide as many answers as possible and to stop the scene being too time consuming. I think Hiro saying it killed him was just meant to be a fast way to find out he died, rather than checking his pulse or seeing him explode or something.

That is just my opinion though.

Back on the subject... Hiro only looked that way because of all the pain the explosion in NYC caused. However when we go into the future this time the pain has only just started. Over time I'm sure (if he lived) he would go back to a bitter Hiro, much like Claire and Peter became.
