I think it's more plausible that Adam & Claire are both effectively immortal. (Like the guy from Powers.)
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We have no indication whatsoever that powers always run in families -- Matt and Maury, yeah, but they're the first we've seen.
Micah?
[eta: Nevermind, you mean evidence that specific powers run in families. So no reason to think that the ancient Nakamura clan could bend spacetime.]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Claire, the Petrelli brothers.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. Yes. This. Michah and Claire have different powers than their parents. D.L. and Monica are blood relations, and she's got different powers than either him or his son. I think there's only odds of specific powers being inherited (and possibly only if one parent is powered and the other isn't), but I suspect that it's more the exception than the rule.
Edited to keep from making assumptions about the powers of the Petrelli parentage. But they have different powers from each other, and I think that's relevant.

Uhura needs to be seen again and to bust out her power.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So have people heard the latest strike-related rumor?
Reportedly, Tim Kring wouldn't comply with a weekend rewrite that would tack a season ending onto the last script written and is now off HEROES.
Reminds me of Rob Thomas sticking to his guns and not writing a series finale for VM. Showrunners aren't going to make it easy for the networks.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
and is now off HEROES.
Oh dear, that's unfortunate. Especially since Fuller's already gone to PD.

I think that report's erroneous. This is from the AP story that moved a few minutes ago on the news wire:
Tim Kring, a producer and writer of the NBC hit “Heroes,” said he had to revise the ending of the show’s 11th episode on the chance that it might be the last one to air this season.
“Fortunately we were able to hustle back,” Kring said from a picket line in an effort to shut down the show. “The audience won’t be left in a lurch.”
What probably happened is they filmed the ending, and then he went out on the picket line with a lot of the other show runners. I doubt any resignations are being considered as final just yet.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
D.L. and Monica are blood relations, and she's got different powers than either him or his son.
Also worth noting that Monica's power didn't start until after Micah touched her back and made some comment about "fixing her dreams," so it's totally possible that Micah gave her the power, rather than her inheriting it. Or maybe he just focused untapped power that was already there but not clear. *shrug* this show is getting too confusing, but the powers clearly seem to be not at all evolutionary based but something that a group of people acquired, and have been passing on the potential to their children.
