Meh .. I didn't vote because I don't watch the show but I hear it's alright. If it is a clone, it's nowhere near as bad as "Mutant X" is.. I tried sitting through an episode and thought it was horrible.

Them's are fightin' words!

I love X-Men and I love Heroes. They each have a very distinct feel. X-Men (and many comic books/comic book-based films) have a very otherworldly feel to them. Heroes, on the other hand, attributes magical aspects to an otherwise realistic setting ("magical realism").

Ever tried watching "Mutant X" Drew? (Just curious..)

Oh man. I have. Isn't it a Canadian show? It's horrible! The acting is bad, the storylines are bad, the powers are lame. A feral woman? I can introduce you to a dozen or more feral women, but none of them have superpowers :wink:

(Ladies...I kid, I kid....)

I'm with Drew. the same a bit but different enough to make it all worth while.

It's a total copy of X-men and that's why I love it! If there was an X-men TV show that would be awesome but there isn't one.

Heroes is a copy of comic books out there in a whole, not just xmen, not just anything. I see a ton of feelings from almost every comic book I've read. I'ts not as in depth or dark as something like Powers, nor does it have the fancy characters like X-Men.

Remember, Jeph Loeb was one of the main writers on the series, I don't know if he wrote it throughout, but he's most well-known for Batman: Hush, and a league of other comics. I don't think it's possible to be very "original" with comics while also being accessible to the public that would watchit and keep it on the air.

Being a huge x-men fan, I think it's crazy not to watch it for fear of it being a ripoff. Don't watch it because you don't like the medium, but not because you think it's a rip off!
