Oh god, I have no idea who most of these people are (also, I thought I had heard of most people from the Jossverse through fandom osmosis, but I have never heard of Winnifred... wait, is that "Fred"? I have heard of a Fred who is a girl), but here goes ( ... )

Yup, that's her! I think you'd like her - she's quirky and awkward and adorable.

Mohinder & Simon (and sort-of Snape): so well-meaning but misunderstood, so socially awkward, isolated loners, always getting tragedy as their reward for trying to help and protect people

I would have never thought to put Mohinder and Simon together, but yeah, that totally fits! I would definitely include Snape in that, only it didn't really become apparent until the last book. I think Snape and Simon are very similiar in a lot of ways - they are both SO socially awkward and viewed as creeps, with the key difference being that Simon is a nice, sweet person under all the awkwardness and Snape is basically an asshole, even if it does turn out that he's on the good side at the end. And huh - I can see some similarities between Mohinder and Snape, too, with their very angry sarcasm and sense of righteous indignation.

Sylar & Ben: sociopaths with intense ( ... )

Ahahaha - I love how he totally nails his motivation and is like "I'm not going to be part of your cutesy story," and then "...welcome to the family." I think in that guy's shoes, I'd run screaming. XD

AND HOLY FFFFFFUCK DAVE ANDERS IN LEATHER. GUH. Okay, I need to watch this show.

People who are alienated due to some internal mechanism...either high intelligence (like Mohinder who really didn't seem to reach out or relate to people much, which is what made the whole Zane thing really unique to me) and then yeah Simon and Snape. Or Buffy being the Chosen one or Veronica Mars and her creation through events...and of course Sylar and his uh, mind lol.

Usually people on the outside who begin to focus their strengths and learn bonds...or not.

Holy cow, you're right - when I was writing this I thought it was kind of all over the place, but yeah - every single one of them is an outsider. That's really interesting - wonder what that says about me, lol.
