Plot (from wikipedia):
The first four episodes were dubbed "Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities." At the end of the fourth episode, an event occurred which kicked off the current arc: "Save the cheerleader, save the world," which is presumably in reference to Claire Bennet, a high school cheerleader from Texas with the ability to rapidly heal from injury, and the apocalyptic visions of New York artist Isaac Mendez. As the large ensemble cast slowly discovers their abilities and existence of others like them, they begin to realize the need for them to come together to prevent a catastrophe and save mankind.
According to NBC's official Web site, not only do the characters discover their superpowers, but also uncover a larger picture concerning their superpowers' origins. The characters become involved in each other's lives as they attempt to evade the series' antagonist, Sylar, who is tracking and killing super-powered humans.
Mini-Review:
When I first saw previews for Heroes on the SciFi channel awhile back, I had high hopes. Now that we are 9 episodes in, I am not disappointed!
The abilities slowly become apparent to the characters and the viewers. There's Flying, bending the space-time continuum, rapid healing, predicting the future, etc... Each episode seems to introduce someone new with super-human powers. It is becoming apparent, some will be good and some will be evil.
The Sylar character is very interesting. He seems to have this grudge with people with powers (hater!). Not sure if it's jealousy, or a childhood tragedy. He takes out his anger, by freezing people with powers and taking their brains.
Right now, my favorite character is Hiro Nakamura. He possesses the ability to teleport and manipulate the space-time continuum.
Rating: WATCH IT!

I started watching this about 3-4 episodes back and didn't even know the show existed until I stumbled across it one day. Just wish I could go back to episode one. So many TV shows I watch. Thank god for DVR!
Everyone knows that this entire series was based on a series out of Germany called, "Save the Beer, Deiter, Bang the Girl". In the German version, a man named Deiter had the powers of attraction over the opposite sex. But the catch was that he only had these powers when he abstained from drinking beer. The show chronicled Deiter's internal struggle to choose between the two things he loved the most. In the end, Deiter ended up drinking the beer and leaving the women to someone else. He could also move bratwurst with his mind...
