Oh, while I'm here...

My friend who likes the show "Heroes" liked this idea, so I present it here for your edification. This is how I would end the series.

Remember Micah, the kid who could control any electronic device? We find that he's spent several years hacking into every corporate and government system in existence. He's learned all sorts of secrets, he's faked emails and phone calls and transmissions, he's used other people's bank accounts to bribe people who could get things done... by this point, he essentially rules the world from behind the scenes.

He has long since accomplished his original goal, the avengement (is that a word?) of his parents' deaths, and has now become addicted to power -- thus the continued accumulation of it. He has realized that the only threat remaining to his dominion of the world is the other super-people. With this in mind, he has manipulated events so that all of them end up in New York at the same time. He then uses his control over the military systems and his leverage over important people to call in a nuclear strike on the city.

Remember Isaac's painting of the destruction of New York... the only one that didn't come true? Well, it does... just years later than anybody thought.

At the end of the last episode, we see Micah, now 30-something, sitting in a large office surrounded by computers. A battle robot, built on a phony military contract, stands guard. All the screens light up with news footage of the destruction of New York. Micah, knowing all his enemies are now dead and nothing stands in his way, begins to laugh. Zoom in on one screen showing the fireball rising over the city. Freeze-frame... fade that image into Isaac's painting, which matches it exactly... fade to black.

Tim Kring, if you use this, I expect a piece of the action.
