I have only heard about him. Ando I doubt will get powers. Granted Mohinder's sister did have powers but the disease killed her so we don't know what it was. So in truth he was always set up to be able to have a power but I think it just ruins his story.
This is basically what Jereme posted, but more coherent.

At the San Diego Comic-Con today, NBC previewed nearly all of the first episode of the third season for "Heroes."
Turn back now if you don't want to know! Still here? Here we go...
Spoiler:
- The shooter of Nathan Petrelli from last season was revealed - Peter Petrelli from the future.
- Nathan is revived... and has a vision from God. Believing he's an angel on God's mission, he is set up to be some sort of religious zealot in subsequent episodes.
- Sylar corners Claire in her house. Despite hitting Sylar over the head and stabbing him, she's caught. In a scene that drew gasps and revulsion from the audience, we see Sylar probing her brain as she twitches on a table. Claire, who is conscious, asks, "Are you going to eat it?" Sylar responds, "Eat your brain? Claire, that's disgusting." He then steals her invulnerability, then puts her skull cap with the hair back on her head (to more groans). I think someone in the audience got sick after seeing the scene.
- Suresh develops a serum to give humans powers and injects himself, thus giving him super strength.
- Hiro takes over his father's company and discovers a secret formula in his father's safe... which is promptly stolen by a new speedster character. When Hiro travels to the future to see the results, he sees his future self confronting Ando over the formula... then Ando shocking him with a red bolt of electricity.
- HRG is shown in a prison cell while Nikki is shown as the mistress of a Governor.
- Parkman discovers Peter shot his brother, but Peter then zaps him into a far away desert.
There were a few more details and surprises, but I want to leave something for you to see in the episode! The cast came back out for a short Q&A. A couple of fans dressed as Samurai Hiro and a Sylar victim brought some good laughs to the enthusiastic crowd.
Final verdict? "Heroes" Season 3 puts the show back on track and sets up a lot of fantastic storylines for the season.
[Season 3] kicks off moments after shots rang out, as the shocking identity of Nathan’s assassin and the reasons why the Texas press conference had to be cut short are revealed -- immediately throwing Peter and Matt into unexpected, uncharted territory. With his powers partially restored, Sylar decides a visit to Claire could give him a boost. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Hiro and Ando are charged with safeguarding a family secret that could split the planet apart, and discover that the path to a grim future starts with shady speedster, Daphne (guest star Brea Grant). In New York City, thanks to Maya, Suresh makes a startling breakthrough that could change the world -- or just destroy his. And who is Tracy Strauss?
[In the 2nd hour of the season 3 premiere], Angela clashes with her much-changed son, Peter, over how best to avert a seemingly inevitable worldwide catastrophe. First, Sylar declares war on the Company by attacking their main facility, and finds even more than he bargained for on Level 5. During a devastating battle with Elle (guest star Kristen Bell), a dozen savage criminals -- all with terrible abilities -- escape. Meanwhile, Claire discovers something new and unexpected about her abilities. Determined to reclaim his family’s terrible secret, Hiro and Ando track Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) to Paris. After a fateful night, Suresh is thrilled to find his research, his life and his relationship with Maya evolving in leaps and bounds. Stuck in unfamiliar territory, Matt finds a guide (guest star Ntare Mwine) to help him.
[Linderman is dead] but he is not gone! And Nathan will be the first to see him. [Not necessarily having anything to do with the other...] A favorite character's father will be losing his head—and not just in the temper-tantrum, poor-impulse-control way. Dad's skull will no longer be attached to dad's spine.
Ali's new character is named Tracy Strauss, and she's a political adviser to the governor of New York. Is Tracy connected to Niki? Well, a reporter sure thinks that the nekkid pictures of "Niki" on the Internet are not just a case of mistaken identity. Also, when we pick up the story, Tracy is angling to get Nathan Petrelli a pretty good government job. There has to be a tie between Niki and Tracy in there somewhere, and if you want to know exactly how, email Mr. Linderman, because he knows, and I think he might be the mastermind behind the whole switcheroo.
Kristen Bell will most definitely be back, beginning with the second episode (which is the second hour of the premiere) and most likely for a total of five episodes this season. I also hear (spoiler alert!) she is very much a part of the series in a very major way when they flash forward to the future. I think you'll be surprised over who she's hooking up with—and also might squee a little.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Heroes has tapped acting vet Robert Forster to play Nathan and Peter's presumed-dead pops, Arthur Petrelli.
According to Zachary Quinto, Sylar's baby mama is "silver-tongued and alive." [... Peter and Nathan will find out they have another relative and] it is someone we know, and here's what I just learned that's even more shocking: Peter and Nathan will discover they have not one but two living relatives they weren't aware they had. One shocker will come earlier in the season. The other a little later.
I'm hearing of not one, but two scorchingly hot new hookups (one platonic, one not) among the characters we already know and love. [...] According to insiders, producers are forging a new über-couple between two Heroes regulars in season three-Maya and another Hero-which will serve as a major story arc and which will prove to be a powerful combination. [...] Mr. Bennet is forming a surprising, platonic partnership with a certain head-splitting baddie who may or may not go by the name of...you got it... Sylar. [... Jack] Coleman revealed that Clairebear will be "a little more clued in as to what I'm up to. She actually sees what it is I do, and it gets pretty gnarly." [...] I can tell you that the huge reveals in the first few episodes include Sylar can-opening the head of a Hero we love, Sylar revealing definitively whether he plays Hannibal the cannibal with those brains, Mama Petrelli revealing something that changes the entire dynamic between many of the main characters (this is what I'm most excited about), Nathan Petrelli finding God and Peter is so not being himself. [...] [William Katt]'ll play a villain of the worst kind: A...I hope you're sitting down for this.. reporter . Actually, his character's name is "Reporter," and from what I hear, he has no special powers to speak of, other than his awesomely spherical 'do. In the second hour of the season premiere, we'll see Katt's character harassing Ali Larter's new character, Tracy Strauss, asking her about photos he found of her on lasvegasniki.com (back when Ali was Niki and Niki was a stripper). Tracy denies any connection, and my sense is, she honestly doesn't know of any.
The season premiere kicks off with future Claire trying to shoot future Peter to stop him from going back in time and committing a murder. Explosive events at the Company land matriarch Angela Petrelli in a new and powerful position. And Dr. Mohinder Suresh will finally get a superpower of his own -- one that sends him down a dark and scary path. "He injects himself with the serum he developed to cure Maya and doesn't know hot to control it," reveals [Sendhil] Ramamurthy. "It becomes a real Jekyll-and-Hyde thing." [...] Mohinder and Maya will have some extremely steamy encounters this fall -- a first for the show.
In [an] episode's glimpse at a possible future, our favorite villain [Sylar] is living a pretty normal life. [Zachary] Quinto explained, "What was the Bennet house is now inexplicably my house." He also went on to drop this bombshell, "My son's name is Noah. Isn't that interesting?" That's right -- Sylar has a son in the future and he named him Noah! Quinto would not say who his son's mother is, but when asked if the spawn of Sylar inherited any of his father's powers, he did have something to share. "My son actually is a gifted child. He's very subdue and cool both as an actor and a character.
Seth Green and Breckin Meyer are nearing a deal to join the cast of Heroes for multi-episode arcs. [... They] will play Atlanta-based comic book nerds aficionados who cross paths with (and perhaps serve as advisors to) one of the Heroes.
