Heroes is getting mighty crowded with heroes

The heroes of NBC’s Heroes are going to be fighting for screentime as well as the future of the world.

On the heels of Dania Ramirez‘s hiring as a hot young hero named Maya, and new recurring characters played by Nick D’Agosto, Barry Shabaka Henley, Holt McCallany, David Anders, Eriko Tamura, Lyndsy Fonseca and Dianna Agron, yet another new hero is joining the fold.

Dana Davis, hot off ABC’s cold The Nine and Hidden Palms on the CW, has signed on for a regular role as Monica, a hero whose powers are being kept a secret.

But producers say she’ll be willing “give up everything to help the people around her.”

Meanwhile there are new details on what’s packed in the new Heroes Season 1 DVD set that’s out next month:Along with 23 episodes of Heroes, the seven-disc package includes:
