That's the comic book hook for "Heroes," premiering at 9 p.m. on NBC with an engaging odyssey of seemingly random superhero selection.
In the days before a total eclipse of the sun, an eclectic group of people around the globe begin to discover otherworldly abilities.
A high school cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere, "Ice Princess") down in Texas comes to the discombobulating realization that she's totally indestructible. In Japan, a sweetly geeky young office worker (Masi Oka) develops the spacy skill to stop time and teleport himself through sheer mental willpower.
Meanwhile, in New York, a tormented artistic whiz (Santiago Cabera) displays his cosmic talent for painting the sometimes very scary future. And we have an earnest young dreamer (Milo Ventimiglia, "Gilmore Girls") trying to convince his cynical politician brother (Adrian Pasdar, "Judging Amy") that he can fly. No lie.
"Heroes" -- an unlikely new series from "Crossing Jordan" creator Tim Kring -- may be channeling the "X-Men" spirit. But it does so with a fair amount of humor, humanity and beguiling mystery.
You don't have to be a fantasy or sci-fi geek to have fun with it.
