If Adam has lived from feudal Japan until today, he could be the ancestor of all of the heroes.
I also wonder if, with every eclipse, there's a posse of people who manifest powers, so there are others running around in the 16th century. Perhaps Adam went to find them?
My new theory: Kensei/Adam (after he healed from, you know, being blowed up) went off to find Hiro's ancestor and got him (the ancestor) to transport him (Kensei) to Hiro's time.

I think it's more plausible that Adam got there the long way. We have no indication whatsoever that powers always run in families -- Matt and Maury, yeah, but they're the first we've seen.
I think it's more plausible that Adam & Claire are both effectively immortal. (Like the guy from Powers.)

Micah?
[eta: Nevermind, you mean evidence that specific powers run in families. So no reason to think that the ancient Nakamura clan could bend spacetime.]
Claire, the Petrelli brothers.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. Yes. This. Michah and Claire have different powers than their parents. D.L. and Monica are blood relations, and she's got different powers than either him or his son. I think there's only odds of specific powers being inherited (and possibly only if one parent is powered and the other isn't), but I suspect that it's more the exception than the rule.
Edited to keep from making assumptions about the powers of the Petrelli parentage. But they have different powers from each other, and I think that's relevant.
I think power
ness
it what seems to run in families.
Uhura needs to be seen again and to bust out her power.
So have people heard the latest strike-related rumor?
Reportedly, Tim Kring wouldn't comply with a weekend rewrite that would tack a season ending onto the last script written and is now off HEROES.
Reminds me of Rob Thomas sticking to his guns and not writing a series finale for VM. Showrunners aren't going to make it easy for the networks.
