Alphas has been a bright spot in the mutant team-up genre. Over the past few years, we have seen this type of story – usually kept to the pages of comic books – on television a couple...

I can’t help, as Alphas’s first season comes to a close, but to think back on Heroes. It wasn’t until the fourth season of Heroes that it was revealed to the world that people with abilities existed....
