WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO? The winner is...

The final episode of Sci-Fi Channel's Who Wants To Be A Superhero? ran while I was at work, so I was just now able to catch it when it reran at 1 a.m. At the end of last week's show Major Victory was eliminated, leaving two finalists to win the coveted prize of being immortalized as a comic book made by Stan Lee (and being the star of an upcoming Sci-Fi Saturday night movie)...
Feedback

Fat Momma

And the winner is... Feedback! I was sort of hoping Fat Momma would have won though: in so many ways she's the most unique superhero I've ever seen (and that cover that was drawn for her comic book was awesome!). But I think Feedback is going to more than live up to the mantle that's been bestowed upon him. The show ended great: with all the hero wannabes (including Iron Enforcer, who did eventually "turn good" after being the Dark Enforcer for most of the show's run) congratulating Feedback and Stan "The Man" Lee himself coming out to give Feedback a victory embrace. I don't care how contrived this show may have been (I definitely don't think the challenges were staged with any outcomes in mind though), Who Wants To Be A Superhero? was the the most rollickin' fun show I saw during this summer season. Let's hope they make a second edition for next year!
