Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world.
1) Interesting premise. Ordinary people, suddenly discovering extraordinary powers...
2) There are villains who you are not sure are villains.
3) There are villains that are so far off the evil scale, it's creepy!
4) You can't help feeling for the main heroes. They are changing and they don't understand it, while each of them have personal demons to overcome. They love, they care, they hurt. Viewers can relate!
5) More questions, more theories keep popping up. There's never a dull moment.
6) The scenes are brief with each character. Every few minutes counts.
7) Suspense and tension are right on, the stakes always high.
8) Special effects are super cool. Did you see that flying scene with Nathan Petrelli? Zoom! Straight into the air to escape capture, so fast he breaks the sound barrier.
9) New powers are popping up with more characters. The possibility of unique gifts are endless.
10) "Save the cheerleader, save the world." It's so freaking catchy!
