Anyone who cares anything about comics or earning Geek cred has sat down and watched NBC's Heroes. Following Hiro through adventures in time or watching Claire sob about how crappy her life is every 5 minutes is entertaining, but could an entire MMO game be built on such a foundation? The answers weigh heavy on the skeptical side, but Heroes would have some big benefits you don't see anywhere else.
Any geek worth their weight in beef jerky is familiar with NBCs hit TV show, Heroes. Enjoying a third season, we've all watched the determination of Peter, the unlikely humor in Hiro, and the constant sobbing of Claire. While not a traditional world of good and evil, we see the basic elements of great comic book stories and a world any of the greats authors and artists could be proud of. With such readily apparent media buzz and marketing potential, we have to ask the question: Could this be made into a MMO?
