Yes fans! Seth Green and Breckin Meyer. The two would play comic book fans who end up advising at least one of the main characters. Ausiello had originally noted the duo would be named Doogie and Seth, referencing Doogie Howser and The O.C.'s Seth Cohen (a huge comic book fan himself), but now says the names of the characters are still being decided upon.

----------SPOILER ALERT!----------

In the premier episode of Heroes season 3, we pick up with all of the main characters where last we saw them, including Maya and Suresh; Sylar; Hiro; Claire and the trio of Nathan, Peter and Matt. Nathan of course was in a very bad scenario when last we saw him, having just been shot.

NBC is not keeping it a secret that both Adrian Pasdar and Ali Larter -- whose character Nikki was also in big trouble at the end of Season 2 -- are back this season, and both actors are seen in the premiere, though we'll keep quiet on how they play into the story exactly.

Also appearing in the premiere is George Takei, reprising his role as Hiro's father. His character has been fairly firmly established as dead of course, but that hasn't stopped him from guest starring more than once now. Hiro's story is an interesting one here, as he makes a major resolution regarding his powers and also makes some big discoveries. We meet his new nemesis, a female speedster who comes off as rather sassy, with a devil may care attitude and the impression that she's only watching out for herself -- somewhat like an even colder version of Season 1's Invisible Man, Claude.

She's not the only new character with powers we meet in the premiere – several others are glimpsed, as a place called "Level 5" is introduced, which establishes more of an overall mythos behind The Company and the people involved in it.
