1. Chris Evans actually has superhero experience.
The main character in Push, Nick Gant, is a telekinetic mover, and he knows what he's doing with his powers. He can make dice fall where he wants, cock guns by remote and even make his punches stronger. The actor who plays him knows what he's doing, as well -- after all, Evans was the Human Torch in both Fantastic Four movies, so he's got this hero thing down pat. As opposed to Heroes' relatively inexperienced Hiro, who keeps getting things stolen from him, or Peter, who keeps leaving his girlfriends in alternate realities.

2. Eyes turning black means something cool is going to happen.
In Push, Djimon Hounsou plays Agent Carver, a "pusher" from Division who can control people's thoughts and actions. He wants to recapture a runaway pusher (played by Camilla Belle), and whenever either one of them uses their powers, their eyes go black, and people have to do what they say. On Heroes, Maya's black eyes only signify that she's about to make everyone around her die, and not just from her acting. Also, ever since Eden McCain killed herself, the only pusher we've had on the show has been Matt Parkman, and we'd rather get pushed by Camilla Belle than Greg Grunberg any day of the week.

3. Fight scenes!
Despite the fact that Heroes is about people with super powers, they don't really get into that many fights. Characters are either grossly outmatched and capitulate quickly, or we only see the aftermath of a bloody battle -- even big, climactic, fight scenes involve more posturing and grimacing than trading blows. Push is a movie about people who use their brains for combat, and they still smack the hell out of each other, as you can see in this clip. Psychic fist fight!

4. The superheroes are on the run.
...Okay, so Heroes is currently setting up a storyline that will have all of their superhumans going underground to avoid the feds, but this is after two and a half years of powered-types wandering past oblivious FBI guys and easily avoiding getting picked up by the non-government-affiliated Company. (Hell, one of them even managed to get himself elected president.) In Push, all known superhumans are the property of the government, and only one has ever escaped. Makes things a lot more exciting, huh? Way to play catch-up, Heroes!

5. Dakota Fanning can kick Claire-bear's ass.
Heroes' Claire Bennett may be impossible to kill, but she's a cheerleader, raised in the suburbs by a father who didn't want her to be a part of his violent world. Dakota Fanning was in Hounddog, and her character in Push can see the future. "Save the cheerleader"? Not from the wrath of Dakota Fanning, you won't.

Push vs. Heroes -- what say you?
