29 Times HRG Was The Hottest Dad On 'Heroes'

Trying real hard to resist the obvious Horny-Rimmed Glasses joke.

Some of the greatest heroes on "Heroes" are the ones with no powers to speak of — people like Mohinder Suresh, before he became a weird version of The Hulk, for instance.

An even better example is Noah Bennet, better known as HRG, thanks to the horn-rimmed glasses he (almost) always wears. HRG hunts down and occasionally works with evolved humans, but he's not someone who can fly or cause earthquakes or rapidly heal himself, unless he has help from his adopted daughter Claire.

No, HRG has no powers at all… unless you count being a ridiculously hot dad as being a power, which, actually, I do.

Later this week, HRG will return in "Heroes Reborn," and ahead of his comeback, let's remind ourselves why he's pretty much the hottest hero in the game.

Because look at him.

Who needs powers when you look this good?

Who needs powers with one-liners like these?

NBC

hrg-16

He's the hottest Company man around.

NBC

hrg-20

He does not mess around at work.

NBC

hrg-30

He has equally hot best friends.

NBC

hrg-5

This hot dad comes with perks!

He even has hot bad guy best friends.

NBC

hrg-15

Okay, best friends is pushing it.

NBC

hrg-9

But he's one of few people who can get into Sylar's head.

NBC

hrg-8

And he often used his own head to save people's lives.

NBC

hrg-1

…and sometimes that involved thinking fast in a foreign language.

NBC

hrg-3

Really, fluency in Japanese is a huge help in making hot friends, too.

NBC

hrg-4

How about his actual BFF, Matt Parkman?

NBC

hrg-28

How about Matt giving HRG power-massages on the fly?

NBC

hrg-25

Or all the times Matt and HRG should have made out, but didn't?

NBC

hrg-24

Missed connections.

HRG has no time for fake smiles.

NBC

hrg-2

He has no time for you to screw up the job.

NBC

hrg-10

Sometimes, he has no time at all.

NBC

hrg-26

He only has time for the mission, and that means putting aside all nonsense.

NBC

hrg-17

And if you're giving him nonsense? He'll give you this:

NBC

hrg-21

At the end of the day, he still has time for Claire Bear.

NBC

hrg-14

Even though he almost got Claire and the rest of the family killed a few times.

NBC

hrg-19

But, hey! Let's focus on the positives!

NBC

hrg-18

Like the fact that he even looks hot when he's dead!

NBC

hrg-31

Although he looks much hotter alive.

NBC

hrg-22

But really, it's the glasses.

NBC

hrg-6

And not just any glasses.

NBC

hrg-27

Horn-rimmed or bust.

NBC

hrg-7

Now strut.

HRG Hotness Reborn premieres on September 24.
