I happened to catch it on the Sci-Fi Channel as I was flipping through channels waiting for Real Time With Bill Maher. I clicked on the on-screen show info, saw it was the pilot episode and decided to go for it. It's on every Friday at 10 / 9 central, and repeated Tuesdays and probably other days.

The next episode, "Toy Soldier," involves Neuros being able to raise people from the dead, and an attempted hit on the President of the United States.

Back Story to the Series

The Sci-Fi Channel had a successful movie in 2005, called Painkiller Jane. Its premise was a marine exposed to a biochemical that gives her self-healing powers. Very much in the Super Hero tradition. There was and is a comic book by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada who are also involved in the show. Gil Grant, who helped write four episodes of 24 in 2003 (Day 2), wrote this episode. His writing credits go back 30 years, including Eight is Enough and The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Mysteries.
