All Around the World?

Heroes, so far, is quite an interesting show. Tonight, though, I noticed the opening voice-over talking about paranormals appearing "all around the world".

Of the identified specials, one is from Japan; the rest are from the US. Of the USAns, as far as I can tell, one is from Texas, two are from California, and all the rest are from New York.

All. Around. The World.

Right.

Everything *important* happens in the Big Apple, didn't you know that?

(I saw an actual *researched* article about that a few years ago. The expected distribution of superheroes by nation, by superhero type. Spontaneous mutation being evenly distributed, gadgeteers concentrated in urbanized areas of the developed countries, etc. Yes, I read some odd stuff.)

Huh. You don't happen to know when and where that appeared, do you? Sounds interesting.

It was a gaming magazine, possibly Dragon but I'm not sure. At a guess, I'd say it was in the vicinity of ten years ago.

The title of the article was, IIRC, something like "One in a Million".

Sorry I can't give you any more than that to go on.
