Spoooooon!!!
[tags: random stuff]
We've all done it, at one time or another. Whether as a chat up line or friendly drunken banter, you've fantasised about what super powers you'd like to have (and no, the ability to wear your undies on the outside does not count!)
Well, the geek invasion of Hollywood has finally gone full circle, because here comes Who Wants To Be A Superhero?, hosted by the tireless self-promoter and all around embarrassing old guy, Stan Lee. (Last seen harrassing Comic Book Guy after refusing to leave his store in the Simpsons.)
Apart from the contestants sounding like rejects from Mystery Men, the usual reality-game-show rules apply, one "hero" is voted off every episode, various tasks are given, blah blah blah. I would dearly LOVE for this series to come over to the UK, as it would be the only reality show I'd care to watch. Especially as the winner would then get their own comic book series.
Personally - I'm banking on Lemuria. Anyone with a (secret identity / real-life) name like Tonatzin Mondragon deserves a damn comic book. Maybe then they could do something useful, like stop the fucking Holocaust in Lebanon.
