But why does this make the second season an alternate universe?  Hiro definitely went
back in time in any case, since Kensei was not a hero to begin with, and would not
have been, without Hiro's help.
So, perhaps the events unfolding as they did are not alternate events, but just normal
history.  Adam's just another bad dude that needs to be dealt with in the present,
indeed due to Hiro's
misjudgment, but not as an alternate to any other path.
