My junior year at TCU, the TV series "Heroes" premiered. In the beginning, before the self-indulgence and convolutions, it was a pretty darn good show.
The "hero" who I immediately fell in love with, like many other of the show's viewers, was the appropriately-named Hiro, a Japanese office drone who discovered he had the power to teleport through space and time just by squinting his eyes.
Unlike a lot of the other characters, who complained about what a horrible burden having awesome superpowers was, Hiro relished his teleporting abilities. And who wouldn't?
