Artist grades

With regards to the artists themselves, I give them the following grades and my critiques and comments on them. Not surprisingly, my favoritism of the GNs themselves on the basis of art alone tends to follow these grades

Artist Grade Critique and Comments
Jason Badower A+ + Spot on likenesses
+ Deep, Moody, coloring
+ Crisp and solid

Abilities

If I could have any of the abilities seen in Heroes, I would find the following abilities at the very least handy, and at the most "OMG how did I live without this?":

(In order of preference) Telekinesis, Regeneration, Flight, Telescopic vision, Enhanced Hearing, the time stopping aspect of Space-time manipulation, Freezing.

The following abilities (in no order) look cool and I like seeing on the show. However, I wouldn't want them because...

  • ...they would be too dangerous if accidentally activated:
Lightning (and to a lesser extent, its cousin, Electrical absorption), Induced radioactivity, Acid secretion.
  • ... their use seems to come with some complications:
Telepathy (some inherent dangers to others plus "TMI?" "I shouldn't have heard that!"), Invisibility (how do you know when it's on?), Phasing (how do you know when it's on? How do you not accidentally fall through the floor?), Enhanced speed (Watch what you're doing! Look where you are going! oy vez).
  • ...are plain unneeded in my day to day existence.
Technopathy
