I've just watched the first two episodes of this show and I must say, I'm really liking it. It's just a fun series.

What does anyone else thing about it?

And do you have your hopes for any of the participants Or a particular hero that you liked?

Personally my favorite is Major Victory.

What does anyone else think?

I haven't seen it but I'm voting for Fat Momma cause that's the best fucking superhero name ever.

I will enforce my iron on you!

Major Victory, I favor him. He puts me in the mind of the Tick.

I'm a big fan of the show. I wish I could participate in something like that. It really would be a dream come true, no matter how contrived it may seem. Like tonights episode....oh man, it was so obvious but still exciting to watch.

I'm a fan of Lemuria, cause she's pretty, and Tyveculus, since his background story seems the most promising for a real comic book.

I like "Feedback". His "powers" are interesting and his costume kicks ass.

This is actually a pretty interesting show, I must say. I can't believe how many of them ran by the crying girl!

Hguyver, I added a link to the show on your post for people that haven't seen it.

I think Major Victory will win this. He hasn't done anything wrong yet, plus he doesn't seem to take the competition all that seriously.

Major victory will probably win because he is the most marketable as a superhero, Fat momma however is awsome, she has the ability to improve peoples self esteem.

Thanks, I wish I'd thought of that.

Major Victory is a good superhero in a 1960's TV batman sort of way. :wink:

.: SpANG! :.

If Major Boner were there, he would kick so much ass.

.: RedSlayer :.

Lord Bravery FTW.

Omg I'm ashamed of my own nation, anything american about me is now gone .

.: Jadedwinter71 :.

personally, Monkey Woman impressed me the most so far.. I mean, she was litterally mauled by dogs for over 5 mintues and she still didn't give up.

and Major Victory is pretty good too, in that cheesy but fun way. and I sorta admire him for having the balls to admit that he was once a male stripper... not many would own up to an past that they were embrassed or ashamed about. although, I can't ever picture him as an male stripper... he looks like he used to be a mailman or something. lol

You'd think they'd check to make sure there already wasn't a character in comics named Major Victory, which there is in DC Comics. His brother Major Asshole had a bit part in Spaceballs though.

Major Victory, Funny as hell

Right, so because Sci-fi wont let me watch full epidsodes from "my area" I watched some clips, The challenge with the getting changed race sort of annoyed me, getting extra points for helping a small lost child is stupid, what if you are racing to save the city from a nuclear missile? That little girl is hardly a priority in super hero esq circumstances.

Plus children who havent been taught to seek out police or security authorites when they are lost deserve to be kidnapped by paedophiles. particually when it is clearly signposted nearby. plus shouldn't children flee from oddly dressed strangers?

If you take it seriously, of course it's stupid. ALL "reality" shows are. No suprise there.

But if you take it for what it is supposed to be, it's entertaining.

When people start dressing in spandex and capes, it really should tip you off not to take it too seriously. :wink:

Besides, this is Stan Lee's perspective of a comic book universe. Real world rules sometimes do not apply.

.: SpANG! :.

I was talking In a comic sense, there are hardly any comic characters that would actually stop to save a lost child any more, they might agonise about it later if they hear that said child died as a direct result of their inaction, but I doubt many would bother. plus that is such an old sort of thing for superheros to be doing, I thought they were all about battling giant soviet monsters and aliens now?

fighting soviets is soooo over. :P

.: SpANG! :.

They need to do "Who Wants To Be A Supervillain?" That show would be way easier for most people to qualify for.

BTW, two comics you might wanna look for is "I Was A Superhero Survivor" and "So, You Want To Be A Super-Villain?" from Epoch Comics. See http://www.epochkblamm.net/epochstore.asp

Monkey Woman's got the best ability to be a superhero. But I'm thinking Fat Momma or Major Victory will win.

But my vote is secretly on the ball guy in the beginning of the intro.

.: Kennedy0 :.

I usually hate this sort of program, but I love pretty much anything with Stan Lee in it. I like that the first guy got kicked off for being a custom doll maker. The idea was that a superhero wouldn't profit from his own likeness. That was awesome!

I also like that working your ass off isn't a sure fire way to win. You can actually be eliminated for not being selfless enough. It keeps these people on their toes.

The guy with a gun on his arm is a tool.

.: Mr. Neil :.

"Iron Enforcer", yeah. You saw what they did to him, right? That was pretty clever. Predicatable, but clever! :wink:

.: SpANG! :.

It's really starting to heat up now. I'm waiting for Fat Momma and Lemuria's fists to start flying any moment now.

Donuts, man... donuts.

.: Kennedy0 :.

This show is my new favorite thing ever. I love how Stan Lee is on every TV in the entire world on this show. His outside TV is embedded in an advertisment for bgi screen TVs.

When the Iron Enforcer walked by a pile of trash and a TV turned on in it and Stan was on it I almost fell over.

This is the first reality show ever that I've wanted more seasons of.

Who called, it? Me, that's who. :P

.: SpANG! :.

Watched the season finale, and I gotta say that Stan Lee chose the right guy. Fat Momma had too many ties with reality-- she was a hero already with taking care of her kids and family. On the other hand, I can't even picture what would happen to Feedback if he hadn't won. ("Nervous breakdown" wouldn't even begin to describe it.)

Still, everybody got what they wanted in the end, right? Feedback reached absolute geek nirvana. Fat Momma rallied people to her cause and, I think, discovered a lot about who she really was. Stan Lee got to get out from behind that desk. And us true believers were all treated to a wonderful, if however fleeting, suspension of disbelief.

PS: Of course you know there's going to have to be a Season Two.

PPS: I don't know if anybody else got this, but after a while, to me, Feedback looked a lot like Jim Carrey's character Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber after a while. Especially when he had that slackjawed smile on his face. And Stan Lee started to look and sound like Larry King.
