Heroes reminds me of the film by M.Night Shymalan called "Unbreakable" where Bruce Willis discovers he has got invincible powers. What a cool premise, that ordinary people start to discover their supernormal powers but the movie blew it (I think) and just got too hung up on the interplay between Willis and Samuel Jackson's character.
Anyway glad someone has finally taken this premise and do justice to it. I like Heroes and long may it prosper!
