More Surprises Await Sylar Fans on Tonight's Heroes
Heroes comes back with another twist-filled attempt to shake free of the ratings bubble with the episode "Angels and Devils". If you caught last week's episode of Heroes, and stuck around for the promos, you already know at least one reveal: some of our Heroes were born with powers, some were given powers through an ancient formula. What is most interesting about this week's episode, though, is something that hasn't been quite as widely publicized. Beware, spoilers await beyond the link.

There is a decided father theme in this episode of Heroes. The most shocking is the introduction of Arthur Petrelli, the infamous father of Peter, Nathan, and presumably Sylar. Dead in the Heroes mythos since season one, Arthur is brought back into the battle by the legendary Robert Forster.
Maury Parkman conspires with a convalescent Arthur Petrelli ( Robert Forster)
Initially, Arthur doesn't look to be in good shape at all. The promo pics reveal that he is bed ridden for both this episode and next week's episode Dying of the Light. However, the presence of David Ander's Adam Monroe, whose blood can heal any condition, might suggest that Arthur may be getting a lot better very soon.
Another father to return to Heroes is Maury Parkman (Alan Blumenfeld), as in Matt Parkman's (Greg Grunberg) dad. All indications are that Maury and Arthur may have split from the company a long time ago and set up their own little super powered cabal.
Be sure to tune in at 9:00pm EST tonight on NBC, then check back for a full dissection of all the revelations right here.
