Larter plays the most dangerous woman on television, so you don't argue when she wants to push back an interview.

On NBC's supernatural sensation, "Heroes," Larter has a split personality. She's Niki, a doting single mom who resorted to hosting an online peep show to support her young son, Micah. But without warning, Niki can transform into Jessica, a ruthless, freakishly strong killer who can decimate the scariest gang in Las Vegas with her bare hands.

A half hour later, the phone rings. "Sorry, it's hard to get away because Niki is so emotional right now," Larter says, laughing. "She's in confinement while she figures out what is happening to her."

Fans of "Heroes" have been pondering the same thing. Niki is the most mysterious of the nascent superheroes on the show.

"We wanted one character to be a little more difficult to figure out," says Tim Kring, the "Heroes" creator. "We figured if people went on that journey with us, it would be more rewarding."
