Who wants to be a Superhero?

We have heard it and seen it all before, who wants to be a millionaire?, American Idol, Rockstar INXS, Rockstar Supernova..etc. Well hold on to your hold to your capes, there is a new kid on the block, Who wants to be a Superhero.? I do, at least dreamt of it when i was a wee tyke, running around with a towel stuff into my collar.

For those of you who share the same fantasy as me (but with different super powers in mind) look no further, it is now made possible in the 21st Century. No no ..not major breakthrough in gamma ray research but through the brainchild of Stan Lee (left) world-famous comic-book (Spider-man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Daredevil and the X-Men to name a few) and motion-picture icon (dominated the comic-book genre and have been successfully to the big screen, breaking all-time box-office records and grossing billions of dollars in revenues), founded POW! (Purveyors of Wonder) Entertainment Inc. (POWN.PK), an advanced media and entertainment company, together with award-winning producer Gill Champion and intellectual-property specialist Arthur Lieberman, Esq.

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 the 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. Meet Cell Phone Girl, Creature, Iron Enforcer, Fat Momma (my favorite), Lemuria, Levity, Major Victory, Monkey Woman, Nitro G and Ty'veculus (good super power :P)
