Not bad, but needs more

OK, so this is a nice idea (though slightly juvenile): there's a few supernatural heroes in the world and some of them just don't know it. But once David Dunn discovers that he might be a little "special" I would have liked for him to have done more with it. Now I'm not expecting this to turn into a Superman movie part way through, but I would have liked to have seen a few heroic acts or, perhaps, a thrilling rescue (over and above what we do see) added to the mix. Lifting weights in the basement followed by one night out with our new-found hero just doesn't cut it. Apart from that, this is quite an entertaining story.
