BIG spoilers ahead if you havent yet seen all the episodes of NBC's Heroes!!!
Click this link to expand the info on Linderman. The plot thickens...
No need to drag it out any further:
Linderman can heal! Yes, that strange boss in Vegas has an ability of his own - and even more important, he tried to save another "Hero" back on a secret mission in Vietnam with it (only he was at the time forced not to).
So he's like the cheerleader, only he can heal others too. I guess thats why he felt so safe in the kitchen..?
Anyway guess who was also on that mission... Yes, Petrelli senior.
And where did I get this information from... NBC's very own line of novels. The comic books that are publicly available on the
Heroes website. In short, they tell some backstories and connect some dots that the show hasnt had time or option to.
I suggest you start reading all 20+ of them today.
Also notice on the second last page in the "Part V" of the War buddies series of novels - Petrellis wife sure looks alot like the woman we know from the tv show. Nice detail.
But we will hopefully learn more once next episode airs...
