Question: Who agrees that hero's totally ripped of x-men!?
Answers:
If you think about it almost every show there is rips off another show before them!. Almost everything comes around again just slightly different or they make it more intense!. They got the idea from X-Men no doubt, but there are things different!. Hero's is still a great show and nothing can ever replace the X-Men!. :)Www@Enter-QA@Com
As others have touched on there are many similar themes but saying they straight ripped off of the X-Men based on powers and abilities is a weak argument!. It was like when Marvel tried to sue Disney over the Incredibles copying the Fantastic 4!.
There were no grounds because Marvel has no control over a family with super powers no matter how similar (Avi Arad was just mad because the Incredibles is better than any Marvel comic book movie!.)
Anyway, the largest commonality that no one has touched on it not the powers or themes, it's the similarity to the X-Men being persecuted in the comics the same way that the characters in Heroes are!. Being judge as outcasts and looked down upon and people being prejudice towards them!.
But Stan Lee admittedly took that theme for the X-Men from the civil rights movements of the 60's, when the X-Men were created!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Oh, they totally ripped off the X-Men on so many levels!.
The German villain with magnetic powers - Magneto
The flame thrower guy - Pyro
Claire - pick any mutant with fast healing
Nate - any mutant who can fly
Peter - The Mimic
and on and on!.
That 2 part season premier was SO ridiculous and was VERY poorly written!.
How many time traveling/ time stopping/ time controlling supers are on this freakin' show!?
Things were bad enough when Hiro was leaping forwards and backwards in time screwing shite up!.
But now you have present day Peter P!. and future Peter P!. making an even bigger mess of the time stream!.
I'm just waiting for someone to grab a hold of all them and smack them around just on general principle!. It's starting to look just as effed up as the Back to the Future sequels!.
And why are all these supers related!? Shite was bad enough when Claire was made to be Nate's illegit kid!. But now they have Sylar as the "other" Petrelli brother!? WTF!?
And what the heck was the whole point of Sylar going through all that trouble of going after Claire, and all that build up of "Save the cheerleader, save the world" if they're just gonna have Sylar steal her powers and NOT kill her!? WTF!?
That was SUCH a cop out!. It's really bad writing and a deliberate cheating of the viewers!.
That was the single most stupidest plot development of season 3!. And it's STILL early!.
That and the part where Hiro opens his dad's safe holding some "dangerous secret" that he was told NOT to open!. And the second he does open the safe *surprise *surprise someone comes around and steals it!. How effin' convenient!.
The writers of this show REALLY need to get smacked around!. I totally volunteer my services!. They just take the most cliched things and toss it into the mix!.
also, why are all the possible future versions dark, depressing places!?
First it was the nuke attack on NYC!. Then it was the Shanti virus that decimates most of the people on the globe!. Now it's future Peter P!. screwing up the time line with all his alterations by trying to fix stuff!.
This show needs better writers!.
And who's idea was it to insert a Sprint commercial while Matt "I can read minds" Parkman is on his trek through Africa!?
Dr!. Suresh has super powers now as he does his Jeff Goldblum impression from the movie the fly!. Watch the movie if you don't know what I'm talking about!.
Nate is having a religious conversion experience from being shot!? Okay!.!.!. whatever!.
Linderman is back as some ghostly apparition that only Nate is able to see and interact with!. That's kinda cool!. I liked that part!.
There's ANOTHER Nikki character out there!? Don't tell me!.!.!. she's another sister that hasn't been revealed yet, or she's really Nikki who has had her memory wiped and has been brainwashed!.
And I thought season 2 was a jumbled mess!. Season 3 is already pissing me off to no end!.
On a lighter side, we get to see some new supers!. The female speedster was okay and the 4 villains who escaped are kinda lame, but still okay!.
And people can thumbs down me all they want!.
But c'mon!.!.!. on some level you HAVE to know that the show is VERY badly written!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

There are a lot of similarities - Claire's powers are like Wolverine's, Nathan's are like Angel, Parkman's are like Prof!. X!., etc!. And the whole idea of jumping forward into an apocalyptic future seems straight out of "Days of Future Past"!. Sylar evens seems like Rogue in his ability to steal others' powers!.
But there are some innovative things happening - no X-Man can stop time like Hiro can!. Cable can time-travel, but doesn't actually stop time!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
