Heroes to Kill Off a Major Character?First there was last night's same-sex kiss and now it seems that the producers of {0} are shaking things up some more. According to {1}, an important character will be killed off on {2} sometime this season. While the site wouldn't offer the exact character, a few hints were dropped, including a cryptic picture that might or might not feature the killed-off character.

However, I will tell you that this leading character is a male, and he is not necessarily pictured above. (He might be, he might not be.) And he is one of the original cast.

And you thought Hayden's same-sex kiss was surprising, eh?

Clearly the producers are pulling out all the stops this season in an effort to ramp up storylines and pull out a big watercooler-worthy surprise.

Although he isn't pictured, it seems possible that either Zachary Quinto's Sylar or Adrian Pasdar's Nathan Petrelli (even though he's technically dead...) could either meet their fate, due to the bizarre circumstances that are currently playing out this season.

We'll be sure to keep you posted on any and all Heroes news as soon as it comes in.
