There's a psychological disorder that means a person has no, or very muted, emotions. I forget what that is, exactly. But Bob has it, the way you write him here. Either that or he's on the autism spectrum somewhere

Aww. I feel terrible for Eleanor. I'm with you in wondering just how Bob managed to find a woman as devoted as Eleanor is.

No matter how strongly he feels about some things, no matter how hard he tries, there’s a place within him that is empty. And he can’t reach it, and he doesn’t know how to reach other people from it, not by himself.

The Bob here is very interesting. By your portrayal, he seems more autistic and unable to express what he feels. I find Eleanor's view to be interesting too -- she admits that he does, inherently, have emotion... but some emotions he can't feel? It's been ages since I've done anything Heroes, but I like this headcanon.
