Adam is back! Along with 12 new characters. Read on for major spoilers.

Normally when people are buried, they stay buried. Fortunately, Takezo Kensei isn’t like most people.

When we last saw him on NBC’s “Heroes,” evil samurai Kensei — also known as Adam — was buried alive thanks to the time-traveling hero wannabe Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka). In Season 3 though, David Anders will definitely be back.

“I believe so, yeah. I hope so. I know I’m going to be in one of the first six so … .” Anders told SyFy Portal’s Alan Stanley Blair at this weekend’s Eclipse event in the United Kingdom. “But after that, it’s called ‘Villains,’ and I am an uber-villain.”

And if Anders has his way, the return of the “misunderstood” Adam certainly won’t involve a coffin or being buried alive again because he found that one of the most difficult things he has ever done.

“It was the most frightening experience ever,” he later told fans. “I was in a three-sided satin coffin, between two pieces of glass. I had to contort my body like David Blaine.”

In the third volume of the series, the villains of the show will get a chance to show just how bad they can be. Among them are Adam, Angela Petrelli (Christine Rose), 12 new characters still to be revealed and also someone that Anders feels he would struggle to live up to: the infamous power-snatching Sylar (Zachary Quinto).

“Sylar is hard to beat. Sylar’s eyebrows alone … ,” he added with a laugh. “Adam is just misunderstood. ‘When God wasn’t happy with what he’d created he made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. He just washed it all away.’ I love my lines.”
