1. Knox - The Black Guy
This one is the most obvious. The guy gets stronger the more people are scared of him. And by "people" i mean white people. I wonder how he found out he had this ability? Also, Ali Larter's character Niki Sanders had super human strength, but she didn't need people to be "scared" of her to be strong!
2. Suresh - The Indian
Wow, no way, the Indian guy is the scientist? Perfect! I mean i guess he could be working in a call center in India, but besides that, pretty stereotypical
3. Maya/Her Brother - The Mexicans
They're poor, from some small town where they don't have a car, and they end up using a coyote to get across the border. Also take into account that the first time we meet them, they are at a stereotypical wedding, with pinatas.
4.Claire - The Blond
Pretty obvious here. Blond, pretty, cheerleader, popular....typical
5. Hiro - Geeky Asian
Into comics, doesn't speak english well, is into honor and avenging his dad's death. He get's a samurai sword as a weapon, and even makes Star Trek quotes in multiple episodes.
Here's some additional one from lesser characters
1. D.L
Another black guy........oh yea, he escaped from jail, he's an ex con.
2.Monica
The young black girl, living in the ghetto, trying to get ahead in life, works at a fast food joint.
3. Jesse
Hispanic guy. Of course he's a gangster, with gang tattoo's all over his body.
Can you think of more?
