Any show that deals with people and super powers is going to be similar to X-men or any other series of super hero comics.I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.Comment

It's X-Men without the costumes.
Nothing wrong with that either.

It's made to be a more realistic x-men. The powers are a lot more biologically based than energy based and the behavior is a lot more in tune with modern society without a lot of over-the-top behavior. Of course, that could all change next season.sigpicComment

I don't think it can be called a rip per se. And not an homage either. As Suekay said, there is no original thought anymore.
And no one dare compare Heroes to that horrifying show that is Mutant X. Aside from Superpowers they differ greatly- due to the fact that Mutant X is extremely painful to watch. And Heroes is very fun.Comment

I agree, Mtuant X is one of the worst show in the genre, period.sigpicComment

Its a great show, but the X-men animated series is the greatest animated show of all time IMO. Its not a rip there very different I have X-men animated series on DVD (unofficial release ) and I can never get enough. Thats the only cartoon I watch. I'm talking about this one.

Church: Nope, no matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things f***ing are, and you better get used to it Nancy. Quit-yer-b****ing.

Heroes owes a lot to X-Men, but X-Men should be grateful because it's a very classy show with its own vibe
Heroes is supposed to be essentially a comic on the tv. I've recently been reading the heroes comics and this fact shines through. They've also taken care to try to reverse or avoid famous X-Men stereotypes (i'm only familiar with the movie versions) ;
Wolverine/Claire. Angry, rough and world-weary man, now innocent, sweet teenage girl with no claws.
Angel/Nathan. The wings are gone, Nathan is older, originally comfortable with his assertive personality and is already in a position of power and respect (rather than other way round). Unlike Angel, he has no real desire to fly. You could also contrast Nathan's flying issues with Superman's blase and cliched globe-trotting.
Rogue/Peter. Both share a great deal of angst and soul-searching, but not the same gender and different age brackets. Rogue has ditched her old family in search of a new, Peter relies upon and wants to see the good in his own family. Plus, Peter's ability to simply absorb and use powers later is much cooler, and he endangers entire cities rather than one person at a time.
Shadowcat/DL Hawkins. The power to phase now belongs to a cool black male ex-con, as opposed to a teenage girl, enough said.Comment
