A mental warm-up.

I present to you an intellectual contest similar to "What? Where? When?", but with a Heroes theme. That is, Heroes-related terms are either used in the questions or are the answers to the questions.

Please send your answers via private message. I kindly ask you to refrain from discussing the questions here in the thread – this could give other participants a hint.

If you have an interesting question that could be used in the contest, please also send it via private message.

Examples of questions:

1) He started out like Ryland, then became like Luna, and in the end, like a peasant. Name this fictional character.

2) People in this profession would be suited by a small cylinder, with a begemoth on one side and a mighty gorgon on the other. Name the profession.

3) The main characters of this film first met Synca, then Alagar, then Shiva, then Bron, and finally, Astral. Name the film.

Answers will be accepted for a couple of days. There are no strict rules; the format is free, and the competitive element is only to encourage everyone to think about the answers without stopping the process after the first correct guess.

If the idea is well-received, I will add more questions later, and I also hope for help from the audience.
