I have not seen all the episodes of Heroes and I don't think I will see all the episodes either. It was the almost-fanatic following of this series by my wife and sis-in-law that has made me watch a few episodes.
Though I have not seen all, I have seen sufficient enough to notice the similarities between Heroes and the x-men. Be it the the power of self healing or the agility to read minds or the ability to fly or walk through the walls and many not so direct similarities, we have seen them all!
In spite of being a follow-on, how come Heroes is so popular? I believe it is the inclusive nature of the cast. My wife and sis-in-law started watching this series because it has an Indian, Tamilian, character as one of the lead characters. There are characters from many other countries too.
In essence, it is a story of the world. Whereas, x-men seemed like the story of the United States. At times, in the movie, it sounded more like the story of Newyork and its suburbs! Is this the reason why Heroes popular across the world? Having said this, the simple reason could be, we all like magical, larger than life characters, don't we?
