The Super Hero Next Door?

Heroes is one of this season's new hits on NBC. It's a cool premise for a television show. Ordinary people begin to realize they have extraordinary "super" powers and are gradually drawn to seek each other out. I mean, how cool would it be if you could fly or stop time? But it would also be bizarre, even frightening to find yourself so different from your neighbor, which adds an interesting emotional dynamic to the show. The characters are poised to weather the same angst, revelation, societal burden, and exhilaration chronicled by DC and Marvel Comics in the classic super hero stories we grew up on. Will television's modern day heroes weather the test of time and become part of the pop culture mainstream? While I doubt they'll ever replace Superman or Wonder Woman in our hearts, Heroes does give each of us a chance to think, What would it be like if it were me?
