I agree with Katy. The writers are good at coming up with decent characters with good morivations that will drive their characters. Other than that, they suck. They will make their characters jump through hoops just to accomplish their "part" in the story and once that is done, they will go back and create another development to repeat the entire process again.
That's why the characters all start interesting and slowly get ground down to nothing over the course of the series. Anyone that has gone through more than one season becomes tiring from repetition.
For instance, look at the vortex guy. He's a one episode character. He just wants to see his family and his power got him put away even though what he did was an accident. He didn't want to become a monster. Great interesting character there. Say he had stuck around and found his family, the writers would promptly kill off his family, he would go looking for revenge, accidentally kill an innocent person along the way, get angsty over it, try to kill himself but gets talked out of it by a kid with an ice cream cone in the park and discovers new meaning to life, finds the killer and forgives him, which leads to the killer jumping off a building and killing someone from another story line as vortex guy tries to stop him and when he fails, vortex guy decides to go public as a superhero when his future self appears to talk him out of it so he finds love with the mother of the kid in the park who was a character in another storyline and they live happily ever after until a lawnmower disagreement causes him to lose control of his power...
After the great interesting character... Sylar shows up and just randomly kills him. The end and Sylar has a brand new shiny power.
A brand new shiny power that he will never, ever, under any circumstances, use.
