Saw that there were several fans of Heroes on here so thought i would give you a link to a really good article about the show. It's about 5-6 pages long.

The Powers That Be
NBC took a gamble with ''Heroes,'' a turbocharged series about ordinary humans with extraordinary powers. Now, with more than 14 million viewers onboard, TV's newest stars may be able to save the cheerleader -- and the entire network by Jeff Jensen
SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot information about upcoming episodes of Heroes.
Behold the bespectacled face of the hottest new star on television! He's young. He's geeky. He's Japanese. And when he uses his superpowers, he looks like he's trying to pass a supersize kidney stone.
His name is Masi Oka, and here on the set of NBC's breakout hit Heroes, the cherubic Superman-in-training he plays with infectious comic aplomb is trying to score with a young waitress. It's a scene for the pivotal Nov. 27 installment, which reveals essential secrets about the show's broad assemblage of potential avengers, each inexplicably afflicted (or blessed, depending on their POV) with some acute form of X-Men mutantitis. Oka's Hiro Nakamura, for example, has the ability to stop time and travel through it; in this episode, he's jumped six months into the past to become a busboy at a Texas diner as part of a knight's errand too spoilerish to explain in detail. Hiro's romantic MO involves three gifts — a book, some flowers, and a gesture so elaborate that it requires him to muster his signature expression. So, Masi, what are you thinking about when you squish your eyes and clench your teeth?
