Where does Alphas' particular mix of fact and the fantastical come from? Zak Penn and Michael Karnow created Alphas; they have a lot of experience in the world of comic books.

I have no ear for music, and my son has perfect pitch; it might as well be a superpower as far as I am concerned. For the show, we try to extrapolate in one direction or another from our knowledge of neurology and from that of authors such as Oliver Sacks, who study brains that work in a slightly different way. For example, if you could live for 200 years and could heal yourself, what would happen to your brain-are there parts that couldn't keep up?
