Am I the only one who's wondered about Niki's tattoo?
- well check this out:
Spoiler:
Appearing frequently throughout the series is a symbol which strongly resembles an RNA molecule. Said appearances include:
* Several flotation devices in the swimming pool at a crime scene float in this shape.
* As a recurring shape shown scrolling across a laptop screen in a genetic profiling program created by Chandra Suresh.
* On a drawing done by Peter Petrelli.
* Frequently painted by Isaac Mendez.
* On a post-it note on the map in Mohinder Suresh's apartment.
* Written on a geometry textbook owned by Claire Bennet.
* Written on pictures in Sylar's apartment.
* As a tattoo on Niki's back whenever her alternate personality surfaces.
* Engraved on the hilt of future Hiro's sword.
* Printed on the front of Chandra Suresh's book, Activating Evolution.
* Printed on the upper-left corner of the 14th issue of 9th Wonders! comic book, written by Isaac Mendez (the 13th issue that Micah was reading did not have the symbol).
* On a necklace worn by the Haitian.
* On a picture of Niki painted by Isaac. The symbol was hidden under an extra layer of paint.
A second symbol, consisting of two parallel lines, has appeared on the necks of two of the super-powered characters in the show:
* Matt Parkman, the telepathic main character.
* Ted Sprague, a character who appears to possess radiokinesis.

I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
