By definition, heroes can't be evil because that would not be heroic.

And I've not heard of this before now which proves nothing.

Turning the standard superhero stories inside out is an interesting premise.

Haven't seen it. Evil superheroes? The trouble with the evil gangs is that they tend to fall out and fight each other, being evil and all. Unless they're unified and ruled by some ultra-supreme evil overlord, who's more evil than the rest of them. But then, he might be so evil that one of his cohorts may turn good.

All in all, evil is always doomed. Good will always defeat evil. It is written.

It's not so clear which evil is the real evil.
That's the great thing about a well done series.
It's much more detailed, complicated, & interesting than movies.

That was done very well in Babylon 5 where Londo and G'kar traded places on the good/evil spectrum. And the Shadows and Vorlons were not what they appeared to be either.

But that's not what the OP appeared to indicate for this show.

The OP was brief.
Your interest piqued.
Job done.

I've heard of it, though I haven't seen it yet. I did like Misfits, though. Yes, let's give the guy who was arrested for being a peeping Tom the power of invisibility.

Kind of a feminist view of superheroes. men characters are selfish, petty. Females are either magnanimous or terrified of the men.

That's selling it short.
