HEROES: "Hard Knox"

Hey, fellow HEROES fans! Did you know that the character of Knox from the "Villains" volume was supposed to have had a little background storyline showing his past connections to Parkman? It ended up being cut from the show, and I figured it'd be included as bonus features in the next DVDs. Who knows, it probably still will be. But if you can't wait, they've put them online now! A little something to hold us over 'til the new "Fugitives" volume begins!

A little more background on this, from Beaming Beeman:

There was a story that featured the character of Knox and his relationship with Matt Parkman. The story took place in L.A. and told how Knox was part of a gang and was trying to get out of that life. Matt was a cop who had busted Knox once and was trying to help him stay on the straight and narrow. As things progressed Knox realized he had the power of incredible strength whenever people around him were afraid. This caused him to turn away from Matt’s good guidance. It was a good story. But it was 9 minutes long. And, in the editing room, when Allan tried to fit it in – all the other stories became compromised. So the decision was made to just drop that one story altogether.
