Superheroes Unite in “Heroes” from NBC

Written by TV Guy on June 23rd, 2006

Here’s a great idea for a primetime network TV show — “Heroes”, about a group of seemingly normal people who discover that they have some sort of “super DNA” that gives them superpowers. Basically they’re mutants, and they band together to save the world. Ali Larter, Adrian Pasdar, and Milo Ventimiglia are part of the cast.

Here’s what the show is about, from here:

“Heroes” is a serial saga about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives.

The relatable superheroes include:

Peter Petrelli, a 30-year-old male nurse who believes can fly.

Diego Medina, a 28-year-old junkie who has the ability to paint images of the future when he is high.

Niki Sanders, a 33-year-old Las Vegas showgirl who can do incredible things with mirrors.

Hiro Makamura, a 24-year-old Japanese comic-book geek who literally makes time stand still.

D.L. Hawkins, a 31-year-old inmate who can transport himself through walls.

Matt Parkman, a beat cop who can hears other people’s thoughts.

Claire Bennet, a 17-year-old Texas cheerleader who defies death at every turn.

Not only are they discovering what having superpowers means to them but also the larger picture of where their superpowers come from. Eventually their superpowers draw them together when they try to evade the series’ antagonist, who wants to harness their super-DNA for himself.

Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world.
