Well I have plenty of unanswered questions and I too watch the show. Things ARE NOT as clear cut as fallenmuffin believes. But I doubt they can be answered just yet though but riddle me this Batman, lol.
The eclipse we see in the opening credit sequence is now referenced at the very end of the last episode when Hiro sees Kensei. What is the significance of this eclipse? Is it a natural eclipse or is it something else eclipsing the sun? And does this eclipse mark the beginning or the very cause of the mutations resulting in special abilities?
Didn't anyone notice that the symbol on Kensei's banner is the same as Nikki's tattoo on her shoulder when she turns into Jessica? What possible connection could this mean? Are these people with abilities actually marked or branded in some way and if so does this mean their powers were created by some "Intelligent Design" rather than simple evolutionary mutation? Lastly, we all saw that Hiro's father is or at least looks like Kensei. What is the connection here? Is he the actual progenitor from which all other mutants formed? Did HE cause the eclipse? Also, how does he happen to show up where ever he is needed? It almost seems like he is aware of everything that happens at any given moment.
Out of all the powers that we have seen so far, Why is Hiro's so powerful? While some of the other characters abilities are pretty spectacular He is still the only one who has God like powers. There is NOTHING more powerful than the ability to manipulate space and time. With that being said, what powers does Hiro's father really have? One would assume he would at least have, if not even greater powers than his son. How else would Hiro gain such an ability?
This brings up an interesting dynamic to the story through symbology and this is only my ideas on it's parallel meaning, and is definitely thinking way outside the box. Think about the story of Christ... He had miraculous powers, as does Hiro. His father (God) was all powerful, Hiro's father may very well be too, as well as being the creator. Who is his enemy but Satan himself and the Petrelli Mother or even Sylar could fit that bill. He seems to be the one who feels a total obligation in trying to save humanity, just like Christ. Being the key figure he also seems to have what would be considered Disciples who have devoted themselves to help him in his quest, just like Christ did. We also know Hiro has a sibling, does she have powers? We have only seen her fleetingly but if they do bring her into the story that would make 3 very powerful people in the same family. Sorta forms a Holy trinity, the father, the son and the holy ghost. I am sure I am reading to much into it but the parallels to that old story does seem to be partially present.

We all know that there is a huge significance in terms of the eclipse being shown in both the first and now second season of heroes, as to what that is I don't quite know. But once the eclipse took place, as you recall, is when all the current heroes from the first season started to discover their powers.
As for the symbol. Yes not only is it shown on Kensei's sword, banner, and nikki's (jessicas) tattoo, but is also ALL over
every episode if you look closely. For instance, on the Hatians necklace, he wears the symbol, the branch inside of the lizards (mohinders) cage, claire's geometry book, and the wall of the greyhound stop. The code of mohinders fathers work shows the same symbol as well. It's supposed to stand for "Godsend" or "Great Gift" which seems to make a bit of sense. Its also very similar to a strand of RNA, but its flipped around.
We haven't yet discovered what Hiro's fathers power is as of yet, but a lot of people are thinking that he is either Kensai himself, or is able to live forever, which is why he said "I have waited a long time for a Nacamura to assend" to hero. Not quite sure if his sister has powers either, seeing how we only saw her in one episode briefly. I kind of think that Hiro is going to be Kensai but we will have to see! :D
I guess you can tie it too whatever kind of story you feel it best relates to. I don't really think of it as Hiro's father being the creator of all, but we don't know his powers yet. I do believe that him, linderman, and mrs petrelli all allied together when they were younger, and that both linderman and mrs petrelli turned to the "dark side" if you will.
One thing I like to do is look at all the different point of views because it keeps us all guessing, which is why I love this show so much. Reading all the different theories gets me excited for the possibilities of what can happen next. We just have to wait and see i guess :D Sorry im not a COMPLETE expert on the show but thats pretty much the best I can answer those questions. Hope that was helpful.
