Heroes is being sued by Jason Barnes, a comic book author, who states that the traveling carnival storyline featured in the last season was a rip off. So much for the show going away quietly.
The lawsuit states:
"The settings and the storylines are virtually the same. The main character in both stories leads a carnival of lost souls and outcasts. This dark character seeks to make his carnival more powerful by recruiting new members with special abilities. The appearance of some of the characters is also virtually identical to those in the plaintiff's books… Even the dialogue is similar. Indeed, some of the scenes inHeroes appear as if the plaintiff's books were used as storyboards by the defendants."
