What kind of unfair advantage would NBC's Heroes have if they played in the Super Bowl?

As part of the promotion for the return of NBC's hit series, Heroes, the network will air a thirty second spot during the Super Bowl posing this very question.  Do you think they would need their own league, or do the Heroes powers vary enough to give them a heavy leg up against the competition?

This question is so out there - but here goes. The characters in Heroes have a significant advantage. There would be no contest. Some examples:

Hiro - Traverses time and space. Give him the ball, he blinks, he's in the end zone.
Nathan - Flight. Give him the ball and he flies over the opposing team.
Daphne - Speed. Can easily outrun the fastest offensive or defensive ends.
Niki - Enormous strength. Could easily overpower the strongest linemen.

And I haven't even mentioned Peter and Sylar who have multiple powers.

Of course the opposing team can do one thing to nullify all of these advantages. Draft the Haitian who has the power to render other heroes powerless.

Oh hold on now... what if you were to split the Heros into two factions and have them play against each other? Who would win then?!?

This sounds like an excellent question to be asked / posted at Comic-con :)

Ahhh. When you phrase the question that way, it makes much more sense.

I don't think they included Sylar in the lineup, but they should have. Like Robbrown mentioned, to see the two sides pitted against each other would be much more exciting than watching the Heroes kick the pants off of regular football players.

It is an out there question. I am looking forward to see the commercial though.
