I noticed the guy who plays Adam on Heroes is the same guy who played Takeo Kensei! Is he meant to be the same character? If he is, how did he get into the future? Is he trying to get revenge on Hiro?

I don't think he's worried about taking revenge on Hiro, he's getting revenge on the company and the original 12 members for keeping him locked up for 30 years.

Yes, Adam IS Kensei. due to his healing/regeneration powers he has lived that long. i dont think his ultimate goal is revenge on Hiro, he means to "save the world" by means of his own ideas of what the world should be like..which we dont know what that means for sure yet.

Peter mentioned something in the last episode upon seeing Adam that he didn't look too bad for 400 years. Like previously mentioned, it's probably because of his regeneration powers that he's lived so long. As for getting revenge on Hiro, I'm not sure. I'm very sure that he wants revenge on the "Company" in the least. For me, if he's still got a grudge against Hiro after 400 years, then he's a pretty bad guy.

I agree. I'm not sure the TRUE nature of his intentions. But yeah, they're the same person. But it brings the question. Adams power is the same as Claire's...does that mean she's pretty much immortal and will never really age?

I wondered that, too. It will be interesting to see. Obviously, she had to age a little or she wouldn't have grown up. :D

Yeah sure is the same guy...and he did not travel on time or something lol, he as Claire are immortal. Basically he will live forever, you didnt hear when adam told peter that he is 400+ years old....The human beings die because the cells die. If you can regenerate, how can you die ;)? thats the point

In tonights episode it was revealed that they are the same person. Because he has the power of healing, it advanced to the point where he stopped aging so he is about 400 years old. He killed people in revenge for them looking him up for 30 years. Not sure yet if he is trying to save the world with Peter or not. I would like to think he is if for no other reason than to foil their vaccine gone bad.

well it could be both ways may be he is the ultimate bad guys and he also wants the revenge on hiro or may be company is bad he is really trying to save the world. anyway my guess is that he want to unleash the virus on the world and he can choose who will survive becoz his blood can heal anyone.

I think it may be one of his abilities or have something to do with the fact that he heals and stuff. Maybe he doesn't age either? when Peter first saw Adam he goes "you look good for 400 years" or something like that. So he must be the same guy (Takeo Kensei/Adam). Also, when Hiro first got to the future, he ran up to a guy on a horse thinking it was Takeo Kensei because he had a symbol on his flag. It was the same symbol that has been on all those pictures, so Takeo Kensei/Adam is obviously connected somehow.

yes, they are the same person. Adam has the ability to stay alive forever and does not grow old. That is why he is in the future. I dun think that he's up to no good..

Takezo has the power to cure himself, so he can live forever. And he may want revenge on Hiro, but he doesnt know when Hiro is going to be live, because he was in a time travel when they met

Yup...I think I can conclude that adam a.k.a takeo kensei has something to do with the original company.He is up to something really bad and disastrous.

Do you even watch the show regularly? It is pretty obvious that it is the same guy - Takeo / Adam cannot be hurt, so he lives forever and doesn't age. That is his superpower. And yes, one of the things he was trying to do was get revenge on Hiro.
