For folks who are completely ignorant of MMORPGs, I usually say: "It's like World of Warcraft, except with super-heroes."  Everybody has a general idea of what WoW is, so that's usually enough to get the conversation started.

I've used a couple times in the past two weeks or so!  I've also seen it from other players - when we didn't just start steamrolling the second two plus players had entered the instanced map anyway.
