Heroes Big Boom Challenge is a Big Bang for Heroes, Heroes RPS, and Heroes crossovers. It is based on the spn_j2_bigbang and svbigbang challenges, but with a few twists and turns. According to the community profile the goal of the challenge is for writers to write a 10,000+ word Heroes, Heroes RPS, or Heroes crossovers novella. Artists and vidders create an accompanying piece of artwork or trailer vid to go along with the story.

All stories are posted to the individual author/artist/vidder's journal or site, with a master list of links and summaries posted at the community.

Pity that he got himself killed beforehand, leaving Sylar with the task. Pity that he died too...
