Many of the characters wouldn't really make for fascinating gameplay. Imagine the ones whose power is just invulnerability/healing-factor. Even Wolverine has the claws, and is athletic to say the least. All Claire can do is run away, stand there and get hit, or use a gun, and in a world where other people can freeze you into a corspiscle or slice your skull with mind powers, isn't that just a tad lame?

Now, there's plenty of material for roleplaying or as an adventure-type game, but factoring any combat into the game would be a very delicate procedure.

@Grue: You know who would be awesome to play as? Dr. House. Do anything you want, never have any lasting consequences, and STILL have everyone think you're a genius. Now that is badass.

Makes you wonder how little they think of the show when they make Dogz,Babiez games...

I think this is one of the few instances I remember a developer/publisher dropping an existing IP and a "semi-famous" show at that. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the show. I just know a lot of people that are getting disappointed by it more.

Possibly because the writers have been running the show into the ground as hard as possible for the last two seasons.

@Belabras: They need to kill off the following characters...

Tracy - Same actress playing a twin after the original role is killed off? LAME

Micah - Yeah, I said it. Fuck that kid. "We gotta do the right thing no matter what! Now I'm gonna wait in the van while you risk your neck on my behalf."

Evil Claire - Does anybody buy this for even a second?

Maya - She and her brother ruined season two almost entirely by themselves.

Usutu - Every time this guy appears, time travel is involved, and that's fucking confusing.

That's my two cents. Feel free to disagree.

@Belabras: Well, just recently, NBC fired Loeb and Alexander (http://www.tv.com/story/11815.html). And there's talk (or much rather hope) that if ABC's Pushing Daisies goes under, Bryan Fuller will come back to Heroes to write (he was a writer for season 1).

@Mister_Jack: I definitly agree. Micah is already gone, since Nikki is dead. And Tracy just screws up the entire Nikki canon (what happened to Jessica?). I've never been that annoyed by Claire, and didn't find Maya's role in season 2 annoying (though now I do). But if anyone, ANYONE, should go, it's Mohinder...and maybe Nathan...

@RomeoCrispinus: I liked Mohinder until he got powers. Then I'm supposed to believe this nerdy little scientist just up and scores with Maya, who is annoying but admittedly quite hot? It's like he just said "ERAAAGH I'M SO POWERFUL I HAVE TO FUCK SOMETHING!!!"
