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!
