Who wants to be a Superhero?
Lately I've been hooked on this great reality show called "Who Wants to be a superhero", which is hosted by none other than comic book legend Stan Lee himself. The premise of the show is that 11(two eliminated so far) self made "superheros" are tested in various aspects of what every superhero should have, such as courage, integrity, self-sacrifice, compassion, and resourcefulness. After each task, the superheros are evaluated based on their performance and one is eliminated. The last superhero standing will be immortalized in a comic book, and have a movie made about them by Scifi.
Whats really great about this show is that it focuses on human nature, and not on things such as who is the strongest or the fastest. For example, the first task was for each superhero to quickly change into their costumes(and be as inconspic
uous about it as possible) and run to a checkpoint. The purpose of the task wasn't who made the fastest time, but who stopped to help a little girl who was crying for her mommy. Only the great Stan Lee himself could think of such a clever test. The results of this task were very dissapointing, as only a few superheros stopped to help the little girl, most of whom were women. Everyone else was so focused on making the fastest time that they either didn't notice the girl, or ignored her.
The only male superhero that does stop to help the girl goes by the name of Major Victory. He stops to help the girl, and even lets her jump into his arms and carries her. Now that is being a true superhero. Not only did he help the girl, he also did a dance. What superhero do you know that has his own frickin dance? If I were to put my money on any superhero, it would definatly be Major Victory. This guy kicks ass.
To see all the other superheros, go here.
The show airs every Thursday at 9PM/8PM Central on the SCIFI channel. So go watch it!
