Somehow I expected this: NBC is being sued over one of the concepts used on its hit series Heroes. Not that I expected the show's creators and writers to have "stolen" ideas from elsewhere, but I expected some artists to try and claim the show stole ideas they developed before Heroes first aired. When a show becomes a hit, people want a piece of the pie.

In this case, New York artists and couple Clifton Mallery and Amnau Karam Eele claim that Heroes' creators based the Isaac character and his power on a short story, a painting series and a short film they exhibited in 2004 and 2005.
