of course if they don't reveal the true nature of all this and dont explain anything, while neutralizing the threat, I guess they string us along.

the draw for me isn't them against a villain, it's the discovery of what in the hell is going on with these people and how are they all connected?
Oh, I assure you, we won't find the whole story behind why they have these abilities and why the guy with the glasses is hunting them for quite a while.

But, I do think once they get further along with the character development people will start to care about the characters themselves rather than their abilities and how they got them.

I think they'll follow a Lost type model, where the intrigue draws people in, and then the development of the characters will keep people around. Lost has successfully transitioned from one big mystery to the other fairly successfully.

Whether they'll be successful remains to be seen, but based on early results they're doing awfully well.
