I think that you could use the map method of JavaScript objects:

getHeroes () {
  return this.http.get(this._heroesUrl)
            .map(res => {
               return res.json().data.map((elt) => {
                 // Use elt to create an instance of Hero
                 return new Hero(...);
               });
             })
            .catch(this.handleError);
}
