Micah Sanders, portrayed by Noah Gray-Cabey, is a fictional character on the NBC science fiction drama series Heroes. He is the son of Niki Sanders and D.L. Hawkins. He is a child prodigy and a technopath.  Character's background  = Beginnings = Six months prior to the start of the series, Micah receives a new laptop computer from his grandfather, Hal, who is estranged from his family. When Hal notices Micah dismantling it, he loses his temper, but Niki first bids him leave their house, and then tracks him down as Jessica and beats him up, demanding that he stay away from her and Micah. Micah is first shown in "Genesis" repairing the motherboard on his computer when Niki comes in to check on him. They are found by Linderman's agents and prepare to go on the run when Niki sees someone in the mirror who isn't her. Micah is left with Niki's friend "Texas" Tina. In "Don't Look Back", Niki picks up Micah and drives to the desert, following a mysterious map she had found in the trunk of a car containing mangled bodies. Following a spat between Niki and her mother-in-law in "One Giant Leap", Niki and Micah are taken by Linderman's mobster henchman. Micah reveals his knowledge of Niki's job as a webcam stripper in "Collision", and suggests that her job is "safer on the Internet" rather than in the field, seemingly expressing knowledge that Niki plans to sleep with Nathan to save Micah. D.L. Hawkins returns in "Better Halves" to make amends with his family for walking out on them. However, after Micah reveals Niki's secret to him, he suspects Niki is not who she is when Jessica takes over, and a fight breaks out during which D.L. takes Micah away from Niki. = On the road with D.L. = As they drive away from Niki, Micah grows angry with his father for running away, feeling that the good guys always stay to help and that only bad guys run away. D.L. insists that he is not a bad guy. On the road, they find a woman trapped in a burning car. While Micah stays behind with Ando Masahashi, D.L. and Ando's friend, Hiro Nakamura, free the woman before the car explodes. Micah is proud of his father's heroism, though they left just as police were about to arrive. That night, Micah and D.L. stop at a motel. Micah sneaks out to call his mother, and finds a nearby pay phone that is broken. By touching it and concentrating, Micah makes the phone temporarily work and calls Niki. His mother's alternate personality, Jessica, answers, and although Micah realizes this quickly, he still tells her where he and his father are staying. He hangs up just as D.L. arrives. When D.L. asks him what he's doing, Micah insists that he was just messing around. The out of order sign on the phone and D.L.'s own inspection of it seem to satisfy him. Eventually, Micah tells his dad that his mom is "sick" and that she seems oblivious to having an alternate personality. He urges his father to go back to Niki and help her. After admitting that he told Jessica where they are, his father rushes him into the car. However, he's not quite fast enough, and Jessica, having purchased a sniper rifle in the hopes of catching D.L. off-guard, puts a bullet through his shoulder. D.L. manages to avoid being shot again, then runs into a nearby forest with Micah while Jessica comes to assess the damage she caused. They stop and D.L. takes off his jacket, then they begin to walk backwards so their footprints will be misleading. They find an abandoned house, and Micah watches as his father phases his hand through the door and unlocks it. Micah helps his father bandage the wound, but D.L. passes out, worrying Micah. It is implied that either Micah pulled his father into the house or D.L. eventually awoke. While Jessica searches the woods for the two, Micah begins to call out for his mom. Jessica arrives a few moments later, a gun in the waistband of her pants, happy to see Micah. As Jessica enter the house, a fight ensues between D.L. and her. Micah tries to stop Jessica, but is inadvertently pushed into a rock wall by her. As Micah cries in pain, the fighting ceases and Niki regains control of her body. The family then reconciles and walks back to the diner where D.L. was shot. Micah sits down to check his leg, which had been hurt when he was pushed into the wall. D.L. goes to check on him and tells him they were heading for a hotel. Meanwhile, Niki realizes she, or rather, Jessica, is too dangerous. When D.L. and Micah look back up, Niki is across the street, asking a police officer to arrest her for murder. = Back at home = Two weeks later, Niki is in prison awaiting trial and Micah is being raised by his father. D.L. has " own style" of living which Micah finds unusual, including putting peanut butter in the refrigerator. Overall, Micah just misses his mother dearly. However, due to her imprisonment and Jessica's attempted escape, Niki isn't even allowed to hug him. Tensions between Micah and D.L. worsen as D.L. is unable to find work.  (less)
