There have been plenty of TV shows like Heroes that have taken ordinary people and turn them into extraordinary humans with super powers. Though Heroes is all about normal people working together and using their super powers to prevent a catastrophe, we think it is definitely one of the best science fiction shows to hit the small screen. The series lasted four seasons and has been off air since 2010. However, in 2015 a spin off called Heroes Reborn was released and is definitely worth the watch! If you are looking for another show to fulfill your science fiction superhero needs, we’ve got your covered! Here are four shows similar to Heroes.

1. Alphas
This show is all about good vs. evil with the helping hand of super powers. Action-filled Alphas
takes you into the battle of Alphas against Alphas. Alphas are normal people who have superhuman abilities. The five Alphas work among themselves to solve crimes involving other Alphas while working for the Department of Defense. The show is jam-packed with action, drama and of course, science fiction.
2. Smallville
If there is one reason outside of the awesome plot of this show, it’s definitely the fact that heartthrob Tom Welling is the lead character! Smallville
takes us into the life of Clark Kent. Clark is a young guy who has superpowers. He also happens to be an alien and throughout the show, it’s obvious that he just wants to fit in but also wants to protect those who need his help.

3. No Ordinary Family
Though this show only ran for one season, the 20 episodes that were released were great! The show follows an ordinary family from California that wakes up with super powers after a plane crash. No Ordinary Family is one of the very few shows that we can think of that has put super powers into a family setting and we really enjoyed it! This twist makes the show that much more memorable. You can find the show on Hulu.

4. The Event
The Event
If you’re into science fiction shows with thrilling twists and some political allegory thrown in, The Event is the show for you! The show follows a group of extraterrestrials. Some of them were detained by the government 60 years ago while others were found roaming in society. These special members of society age slower and the government wants in on it! This show is a true thriller.
Awww, I forgot all about Smallville. I loved that show back when it was on. Such a good show.
I haven’t seen any of these shows! I would love to watch The Event. It looks like my kind of show.
I’ve seen all of these bar The Event I think, I’m going to have to check that one out thank you!
I actually haven’t watched any of these shows! I’ve heard of Smallville of course, so maybe I’ll give it a try!
I would like to have some super human abilities somedays. This is a show I haven’t had the opportunity to watch this show yet. Think it would an interesting show to watch.
I love Smallville! I still need to watch seasons 6 and on, but it is so good. The Event was really good while it lasted.
Out of all of these shows, Smallville is actually the only one I have seen or heard of! I love all these superhero kind of shows!
I loved Smallville. I have watched it over from the beginning twice now. Loved it just as much.
Off the break I would say no. Which is crazy because Inwatch a lot of TV. I did watch Ghost Busters yesterday and the ladies were total superheroes.
Thanks for sharing these! I have never heard of No Ordinary Family but it is definitely one I would like to check out!
I’m into sci-fi/paranormal. I’m not sure why I haven’t seen any of these! I’m falling down on my genre! lol. I’ll have to check them out.
We loved Smallville. I will have to check out a few of these as my daughter and I like the heroes series.
I have heard so many great things about smallville but have yet to watch it. I have to check it out.
I do like shows like this, where they all trying to discover where their superpowers came from, or what some event was. I liked Under the Dome the first couple of seasons, until it got weird. I would probably like these shows.
I’ve seen every season of Heroes. I haven’t watched any of these shows though!
