Odessa Register

The Odessa Register is a fictional newspaper featured in the NBC television series Heroes. It was first seen in the second episode from season one, "Don't Look Back".

The Odessa Register was the name of a newspaper that circulated through the city of Odessa, Texas. In October of 2006, the newspaper reported an unbelievable story about a mysterious individual who rushed into a burning train to rescue an injured worker. Though no accurate reporting could identify the brave rescuer, the person responsible for the act was teenager Claire Bennet, whose evolved human ability enabled her to instantly heal from any damage. The headlines for the Odessa Register on the morning following the incident read, "Train derails, Explodes", with supporting front page headlines that read, "Mysterious Good Samaritan Saves Man" and "Local Elementary Schools Address the Problem of Stealing".

The day after the train accident, Claire was reading a copy of the Odessa Register in her home when her father, Noah, entered and distracted her.
