This has to be the bizarrest thing I’ve heard in quite some time. Stan Lee and Sci-Fi Channel are producing a Superhero reality TV show where you compete to be your own Superhero!
Yes, bizarre as it may sound, here’s the news from Superherohype through Cinematical
…a six-episode, one-hour weekly competition reality series that will challenge a lucky few…with competitions designed to test their true superhero abilities. It’s not all just leaping tall buildings in a single bound, a true Superhero will be tested for courage, integrity, self-sacrifice, compassion and resourcefulness…
…The winner of this six-week competition will walk away with their superhero immortalized in a new comic book created by Stan Lee himself!
This is either going to be genius television or a complete disaster. Actually my money is on the latter already, except I can see the casting calls making for some great television as people turn up in costume explaining (and perhaps demonstrating) what their special powers are…oh lord. How bad could this be? What would you turn up as?
