Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - "Villains" i hangaia i te timatanga kia whakaurua ki roto i te wa tuarua; heoi anō, nā te patu a ngā kaituhi
, i kawea te rōrahi ki te wa e toru. Ko te arataki ki "Villains" i whakaatu i a Sylar e whakahoki ana i ona mana kua ngaro, i whakaatuhia hei whakaaturanga whakamutunga mo te mutunga o te "Generations". I kii a Tim Kring ka kawea mai e te rōrahi hou he roopu kino ki te whakaaturanga, no reira te taitara. I te Tihema 5, 2007, i te Jules Verne Film Festival Adventure, i whakaatuhia e Tim Kring tetahi whakaaturanga ataata mo te pukapuka tuatoru. E ai ki tetahi uiui ki a Allan Arkush, i tiimata te kiriata mo te waa tuatoru i te Mei 1, 2008. I te Mei 9, 2008, i tukuna he riipene whakatairanga mo te waa tuatoru me nga tohu mo nga "kaihore o roto" kei roto i nga toa. I kii te whakatairanga, "I roto i nga toa katoa ka taea te kino", i mua i te whakapiri i nga kupu "hero" me te "hino" i runga i te mata o ia tangata nui. Hei whakamutunga, i te wa o te "Heroes" i te San Diego Comic-Con, i whakaatuhia te haora tuatahi o te waahanga tuatahi o te "Villains" arc.
