The only question that really wasn't answered for me was "How did they get their powers?" Genetics just seems the easy way out for the writers of the show.

I believe that was Marvel's idea behind X-men i.e. they could create any number of superheroes they wanted without having to give detailed background information on how they got them in the first place for each character.

I always thought using genetics as the explanation for superpowers was a cop-out.  I guess it works for some powers such as regeneration for Claire and Wolverine, but how are you going to going to develop the gene to bend the space/time continuum?
Other than that, the show's awesome.  Hiro's my favorite (of course), followed by the Petrelli brothers and the cheerleader.
