Just wanted to clear things up a bit. A lot of people I have talked to think that Heroes is vastly different from Marvel comic’s “x-men”. I’m here to tell you that you are sadly mistaken. First off, one of the producers for heroes was originally a writer for x-men. Secondly, genetic mutation ring a bell? That would be the theme for both series. Third, charactor similarities:

Peter Petrelli = Rogue, both can absorb others powers, and both are later shown to use old absorbed powers.

Nathan Petrelli = Beast, both ran for office and both can be concidered politically active mutants.

Hiro Nakamura = Nightcrawler, both teleported and had a joking manner about them through most of the series.

Linderman vs. Suresh = Magnito vs. Xavier, the mutants are spliting into two groups, one headed by each of these inteligent leaders, it’s kinda obvious if you watch the show. Also might I add that originally in the comics, Xavier didn’t possess any mutant powers, neither does Suresh. Late into the comics Magnito and Xavier become allies, such as when Magnito taught at Xavier’s school. In flash-forwards of the show Suresh is seen to be working with Linderman to protect mutants from a new threat (Think apocolypse)

That is my side, what do you guys think?

Nathan’s flight ability = Angel, both thought there power was useless at first, Angel became Archangel, I say nathan will become very strong later on.

Claire = Wolverine, healing factor, both are somewhat independant of the other charactors in the series, leaning to one side but not completely joining it, wolverine with Xavier, Clair with the Petrelli’s and Mohinder

The Haitian = X-men’s final solution, a mutant who could nullify other mutants ability’s.

Candice Wilmer = Mystique, both copy ability’s, both work closely with the leader of one of the factions.
