25 Best Superhero TV Shows Of All Time

25. Heroes

The inclusion of Heroes might come as something of a shock to you considering that it isn't based on a comic book, but the aptly-titled NBC series made its own original adventures, and that allowed it to soar... for a moment at least.

Based on a group of random people who suddenly discover that they have super-powers, the first season documents their journeys to becoming heroes and how these new abilities ultimately affect multiple aspects of their lives. A character study, if you will, it showcased the humanity of these rookie superheroes and how they struggled with becoming the ones tasked with stopping oncoming catastrophes.

The first season of Heroes is among the greatest that any genre has ever offered, but the subsequent three were among the worst, and for that reason alone, it can't rank any higher - and given how creative it once was, that's a darn shame.
