Heroes Reborn: 10 Ways To Get The Return Right

5. Superheroes Versus Supervillain Action

We all thought this was coming in season three with the escapees in Level 5; we remember the trailers promising some thrilling confrontations to come but what we got was far more...mundane. Despite one thrilling sequence when a band of villains try to rob a bank, these big bads faded into obscurity, showing yet another example of plot threads meandering along only to be lost in favour of other bigger and bolder story lines. The best villain outside season one's Sylar was probably the very creepy puppet master Eric Doyle, played by David H. Lawrence XVII, who had the ability to control others with his very insidious gift. It was an attempt to add some real darkness to the superpower cast and it worked, but we never got other villains of this magnitude. We need a run of criminal activities expanded tenfold by an array of powers that prove to be a threat so big it takes a band of heroes of stop them. And we need some stunning fight sequences to take this show to another level, not just the skirmishes we got time to time.
