Combining comic book style and geeky in-jokes, Heroes is a stellar series
that draws comparisons to fan favourites such as Lost and The X-Files. But
thanks to its well-drawn characters and intricate plot, this drama reels in more
than just superhero fans. Heroes revolves around the premise of seemingly
ordinary people developing fantastic powers.
There's Claire (Hayden Panettiere, Ice Princess), a cheerleader who can't
appear to be injured or killed. Matt (Greg Grunberg, Alias) is a cop who can
read minds. New Yorker Peter (Milo Ventimiglia, Rocky Balboa) has the power to
adopt other heroes' abilities, while his politician brother (Adrian Pasdar,
Judging Amy) has a special power of his own.
Though the show boasts many other characters, its secret weapon is Hiro (Masi
Oka), a Japanese office worker who is delighted to discover he can move through
space and time.
