This show is bizarre yet entertaining.As a comic book geek of many years, I want to like it but...it's so cheezy. I guess that is the appeal. It is one of the few reality shows I can't imagine appearing on. Unless I could fly or cause earthquakes. Then I would call myself Tremor and wreak havok all about.
Of course, no one can just "be" a superhero. Do they get cash or just a one-shot comic?
Stan Lee, all props to the father of the genre. He created all the great Marvel heroes and was fresh in his day (that being more than 40 years ago). Now he is just so super square and behind the times, I wish they had a current comic writer/artist/ sometthing to balance out old curmudgeon Stan. I imagine the oxygen tank just below the desk, so he can pull it out off-camera.
I have this terrible feeling he is going to pick the ultra dull Feedback to win.
Now, on to the characters:
Iron Enforcer--why is he here? He looks redonkulous and doesn't meet Stan's moral barometer at all.
Monkey Woman--actually, love her look and her way of changing costume, but I think Stan is going to axe her soon, because she's not apparent in previews.
Cell Phone Girl--She has the most clever concept and I think she will last a long time,but I'm sure a guy will win.
Fat Momma--also very entertaining, but I think she can only go so far until her inability to do much of anything will eliminate her. LOVE her utility belt snacks!
Major Victory--I sort of don't think he'll win because there is already a comics character (I believe DC comics) called Major Victory and wouldn't that become trademark infringement if he were to win? Still "Who is this child's mother!?" was classic.
Lemuria--Golden Breasts is kind of dull and hard to figure at this point.
Tymeculus--Despite stiff competition, he has the worst name and costume of the bunch. so, he blows.
Feedback--his name works and he is the most cardboard of the entire group. Due to his extreme dullness, I expect Stan to pick him as the winner. Yet, he is a weiner. With him and MV as the two most "stereotypical," one must go and the other will likely win.
Levity--Well, I liked him. He had a noble goal to contrast with this desire to cash in. The only openly gay Marvel hero died recently. Now there are two queer teens in Young Avengers, and DC has a sexy lesbian Batwoman, but that's about it. OTOH, "Levity" wasn't really very funny. So he didn't live up to his name.
Nitro G-works in a comic shop, so sad to see him go. Plus, Stan axed the only apparent Jewish hero.
