Let's not forget Toby McGuire as Peter Parker.
It's definitely a good time to be a comic book geek. Thank the X-Men and Spider-Man movies for that. Hollywood needed to see that the kids that grew up during a time when comic books were very popular (10 - 15 years ago) are now old enough to spend their money.
And NBC seems to be the first network to take notice, and they're reaping the benefits.
I think the best thing about Heroes is that the show isn't afraid to have its characters use their powers. That was my biggest fear going into it, that the show would be focused on the mystique of people *sort-of* having powers, but your were never sure what was really going on. Sort of like Lost or the X-Files, in a sense. But they've instead embraced the idea that these people can do extraordinary things, and the show isn't aren't afraid to explicitly show that.
Wait a second.
Have we seen any powers used *on* HRG? Both Persuado Girl and the Haitian were around him all the time... but there was never any indication that they tried to use their powers on him. Maybe that's his ability? He's invulnerable to other heroes' abilities or something? That might explain why Sylar couldn't do anything to HRG... just throwing that out there.
