No fat suits, but there is a character to mentions she is ‘huge’ and uses her power to hide how she looks, but then also says its because of being treated differently so I think its socially aware
In season 1 episode 2, Peters brother gaslights him into thinking he tried to comment suicide when in actuality he jumped off a building to prove he could fly but his brother actually flew and saved him.
A lot. I wouldn't watch if heroin triggers you. Basically every scene with Isaac the painter is about drugs or tangentially involves drugs.
He's addicted to heroin and suffered a relapse before the events of episode 1, and he resists his GFs help trying to get him into rehab because the drugs enable his powers
In episode 2 his girlfriend tells him he overdosed and threatens to break up
At the end of ep 2 it's implied he's on the edge of relapse and we see drug paraphenelia
E3 he uses onscreen
He detoxes in E8 but then HRG forces him to use again (onscreen, very triggering)
E17: Isaac relapses after losing Simone (it happens in the scene right after Mohinder's prisoner escapes)
In episode 1 enforcers try to assault Nickie on camera but she hulks out and kills them, the scene is very long and unpleasant and it's revisited in episode 2
Episode 3 there's a 3-4 minute scene when Claire and Brody are kissing on the bleachers and he tries to assault her and he shoves her and she breaks her neck
also E3 the mobsters tell nickie to sleep with the politician for blackmail material, and she beats the shit out of one of them who threatens her
E4 there's a stupid awful scene where she "apologizes" to brody for trying to kill him
This is a running theme with Claire so I might have missed a few but she injures herself in really awful ways that are bad to watch
claire jumps off a bridge in episode 1 on camera to demonstrate her healing abilities and fixes her shoulder onscreen (and then later her ribs in the next scene) and she describes injuring herself in other ways
(E9) in the locker room scene claire gets thrown and then fixes several broken bones and a mutilated face
(E9) Shortly after that scene two people fall to their "death" during the chase scene and one of them is horribly mutilated and then gets fixed
(E9) Right after a fleeing character is magically hypnotized to sleep, there's a shot of police car lights and then a character fixes a broken bone onscreen. It's quick
Whenever Sylar kills someone it's pretty bad with a lot of blood and screaming
There are other times someone is tied to a chair and beaten or stuff like that, but no other actual "torture", speaking as someone who's super sensitive to that stuff
E17 Someone who's cuffed to a chair is super briefly tortured with a needle in the spine
Very first episode Claire jumps off a bridge and mutilates herself to demonstrate her regeneration powers, and we see the tape played a couple of times in later eps
Two people fall to their "death" in a scene in E9 ( during the chase scene at the school)
Claire jumps off bridge again S1E12
Invisible guy throws someone off a building to their death in S1E14
Niki is forcibly institutionalized at the end of S1E12 + beginning of E13 (straightjacket, needle, really unpleasant) and for the next few episodes she's in a padded room
Claire mutilates herself almost every episode to demonstrate/test her powers and it's kind of implied that she's addicted to it. Don't watch if self harm/suicidal ideation/body horror bothers you
there's a LOT of suicide or attempts or mentions or jokes
season 1 episodes 1 AND 2 open with someone dreaming about jumping off a building
claire also jumps off a bridge in episode 1 on camera to demonstrate her healing abilities and fixes her shoulder onscreen (and then her ribs in the next scene) and she describes injuring herself in other awful ways
peter+nathan's father died by suicide and their mom talks about it at length in E2
peter spends a lot of time jumping off things trying to fly
Episode 3 Matt hears the thoughts of a suicidal woman at the bar and at the end Claire crashes a car with Brody in it, trying to kill both of them
In Episode 11 Eden tries to tell Sylar to shoot himself but he grabs her so she shoots herself instead
There's a lot, no way I could get it all, but here's some of the prominent ones
In E10 Niki/Jessica tests a sniper rifle at a gun range and at the end of the episode shoots someone with it
Episode 16: Claire's family is held at gunpoint and Claire is shot Isaac tries to shoot Peter but shoots Simone by accident at the end Claire's father gets the Haitian guy to shoot him
E17 Jessica finds+kills Nathan's FBI handlers
E20 Future Hiro is shot towards the end just as he's about to teleport them back to the past
