Obviously this show borrows many elements from comic books and superhero stories in general, but there is one show in specific that aired about 2 years before heroes that shares LOTS of themes and even a few major plot details..... The 4400 (Pronounced The Forty-Four Hundred), I don't know if alot of people heard of this, a fantastic show that only had 4 seasons that is pure genius.....

If you haven't seen the 4400 and are planning on watching it soon maybe not read this, a few big big spoilers..
What do you think? Coincidental or Rip off? Given how close together the shows were, 2004 and 2006 was when the 4400 and Heroes premiered respectively, and if you've read those spoilers it pretty much speaks for its self.... Then again maybe Im just crazy! Don't get me wrong I love heroes, though thats difficult to do alot of time....
If Im ever describing it to someone to watch I say "Its heroes, but without the plot holes, inconsistancies, bad writing and cliché comic book characters"
