"Shocking lack of women"

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=665854

A Forum where people have discussed the lack of women in Heroes. There only seems to be two main female characters, other than that there are very few female characters, and none at all who actually have any superpowers. "don't women get to evolve as fast as the mighty men in Hero-world?"

There is also the argument of the representation of woman, stereotypical blonde women, the teenager being a cheerleader.

The gender of superheroes tends to reflect the masculinity and femininity of the characters, as both female characters show more emotion, however characters such as Nathan Petrelli (who can fly) is portrayed as "touch" and powerful.
