What Kind of Hero Are You? t-shirt

Thinkgeek has a t-shirt up for sale that I thought was pretty cool. You can get it here.

If you were an evolved human, with your advanced genetic mutations and whatnot, what kind of powers would you have? This shirt asks the question, “What kind of hero are you?” and offers the following options (each with its own amusing little industrial-design illustration):

  • Telekinesis
  • Induced Radioactivity
  • Technopathy
  • Rapid Cell Regeneration
  • Pyrokinesis
  • Invisibility
  • Flight
  • Dream Manipulation
  • Clairvoyance
  • Cryokinesis
  • Telepathy
  • Intuitive Aptitude
  • Enhanced Strength
  • Phasing
  • Empathic Mimicry
  • Persuasion
  • Enhanced Hearing
  • Space-Time Manipulation
  • Healing
  • Mental Manipulation


  • Personally, we wish Monica’s Adoptive Muscle Memory were on there, but, let’s face it. We’re geeks. We’d pick Technopathy any day. But Space-Time Manipulation is nice….

    Black, 100% cotton shirt with the words, “What kind of hero are you?” printed in white with 20 different options below and a small Heroes logo at the bottom. The shirt is softer than our standard shirts and slightly tighter-fitting than indicated on our Sizing Info tab.

    ‘Heroes’ Magazine on Facebook

    Got en email this morning alerting us to the new Heroes Magazine Facebook page. You can see it here. You can see scans from the magazine, pictures, submit feedback, and they will be having some contests in the near future, so keep your eye out for those.

    HeroesWiki Interview: Oliver Grigsby, Zach Craley, and Jason Badower

    Ryan Gibson Stewart conducted an email interview with Oliver Grigsby, Zach Craley, and Jason Badower, the creative team behind the Root and Branch series.

    RS: Did you two writers collaborate on the assignment tracker? Also, did you really come up with “classified” sentences and paragraphs that were omitted?

    ZC: I worked with John O’Hara, one of our new media producers, who is the go-to-guy for all things assignment tracker. I provided him bio text, descriptions, etc. and he helped to flesh that all out. And as far as those omitted parts…it was all part of the plan. It’d be fair to say Julien’s story is far from over; once some of those blanks get filled by the rest of the story, that file may be de-classified.
