To anyone who thinks this is a ripoff of Heroes or some other show or book should try to at least first google the title and find out about the series in general. Is it that difficult to spend a minute to find out that this show is based on a comic book series published back in 2000 way back before Heroes even aired. The comic book series was groundbreaking back then for showing the other side of superhero world with ordinary people living in an extraordinary world. This live action adaptation is pretty slick but I too think the writers can do so much more with the base material that is available to them. The show does not effectively capture the look and feel of the comic book world. With such great comic book based shows like Arrow and Flash on television that have been able to turn comic book material into fantastic shows even with the lack of big budgets averrable to Hollywood blockbusters, I think Powers might take a while to gain ground and become better. Hope it does so in further episodes and does not get cancelled just after the first season.
