Claire Bennet is a fictional character in the NBC superhero drama series Heroes. The character was created by Tim Kring. She was portrayed by Hayden Panettiere and first appeared on television in the pilot episode of the series, "Genesis", on September 25, 2006. She is a high school cheerleader with the power of rapid cellular regeneration. Claire appears in more episodes than any other character (72, plus a 73rd through stock footage). Panettiere did not return to reprise the role for the sequel series Heroes Reborn, in which her character is said to have died while giving birth to Malina and Tommy. Thanks to her power, she has an incredibly high pain tolerance; Claire states in "The Butterfly Effect" that, when injured, she feels pain just as severe as anyone else who was injured in such a way, but her power quickly deadens pain. When asked about this, series writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite would only comment that she "feels pain, but not the way most of us do." Claire, describing her response to pain to West, says "I feel pain; I just get over it quickly." Between her tolerance for pain and seemingly unlimited healing potential, Panettiere compared her character to the X-Men character Wolverine. Since having her brain examined by Sylar, Claire has stated that she no longer feels physical pain of any kind.
