Who Wants To Be A Superhero?

// July 9th, 2006 // My Stuff

Premiering July 27th on SCI FI Channel is Stan Lee’s new 6 episode reality series “Who Wants To Be A Superhero?” at 9PM.

The basic premise is that a bunch of hopefuls will show up in self-made costumes and strut their stuff as a character of their creation. “Lucky” finalists will leave their “normal” lives and compete 24/7 to prove they have what it takes to be true super heroes. They’ll each be tested for courage, integrity, self-sacrifice, compassion, and resourcefulness — all traits that every true superhero must possess.

In the end, one aspiring superhero will be declared the winner of this six-week competition. They will walk away with their character immortalized in a new comic book created by Stan Lee himself and the winning character will also appear in an original SCI FI Channel movie…

I’m a crazy rabid comics fan, but this seems a bit out there even for me. I poked around in the initial gallery of hopefuls and just like American Idol, the real entertainment here may be in seeing who shows up to compete. Everybody loves a train wreck…

I found a second “official” site for the show that includes videos of all the auditions. , The site includes info about the following characters: Diamond Girl, Lemuria, Cell Phone Girl, Artemis, Sergeant S.O.S, Feedback, The Iron Enforcer, Monkey Woman, Ty Veculus, Levity, Fat Momma, Major Victory, Nitro G and Creature. There is a nice balance of male and female contestants and apparently 11 finalists are chosen.

[...] Feedback (aka Matthew Atherton) won this past week on Who Wants To Be A Superhero?. I had originally thought this reality TV show was going to be laughably terrible, but in the end I found it to be quite endearing. [...]

hahaha it’s always entertaining to see people make complete asses out of themselves on national tv…but it’d also be interesting at the same time to see people’s character ideas.

I collect all Stan Lee’s comics and can’t wait for the movie to come out. When is the show coming back on to TV?
