The SCI FI Channel, Nash Entertainment (Meet My Folks, For Love or Money, Who Wants to Marry My Dad?), and legendary comic-book creator Stan Lee (Spider-man, Hulk, The Fantastic Four, X-Men)I saw some of the tryouts for the show one night on The Tonight Show with one of Jay Leno's "reporters" going around and interviewing some of the participants. Of course they choose to show the Bustiest women and the geekiest guys but the idea for the show seems entertaining if you are (or ever were) a collector of the four-color print medium.
are the producers of this six-episode, one-hour weekly competition
reality series that will challenge a lucky few to create their very own
superhero and reward the winner with the best reality competition prize
yet: immortality!
Each contestant begins with an original idea for a superhero, a
self-made costume, and their best superhero mojo. From thousands of
hopefuls, Stan Lee chooses 11 lucky finalists who move together into a
secret lair. There they will begin their transformations — and their
competition for the opportunity to become real-life superheroes. Over
the course of the series, they will test their mettle, try to overcome
their limitations, and do what it takes to prove that they truly are
super.
The finalists will leave their former lives behind and live as their
brainchild heroes 24/7, all under Stan Lee's watchful eye. Each week,
our aspiring heroes will be challenged with competitions designed to
test their true natures. No one will be leaping over tall buildings in
a single bound; our superheroes will be tested for courage, integrity,
self-sacrifice, compassion, and resourcefulness — all traits that every
true superhero must possess.
In the end, only one aspiring superhero will have the inner strength
and nobility to open the gates to comic-book immortality. The winner of
this six-week competition will walk away with their character
immortalized in a new comic book created by Stan Lee himself. And
that's not all — the winning character will also appear in an original
SCI FI Channel movie!
Our contestants don't have to love comic books to be the superheroes
we're looking for, and you don't need to read comic-books to appreciate
their struggle to become the best they can be. So tune in and see what
drives these rare individuals who are willing to push themselves to
their limits, and find out what motivates someone Who Wants to Be a Superhero!
The Show starts July 26 with voting on the SciFi Channel's web site currently through May 12.
