The SCI FI Channel, Bruce Nash (Nash Entertainment) and legendary comic book creator Stan Lee's (Spiderman, Hulk, The Fantastic Four, X-Men) POW! Entertainment, Inc., have joined forces to discover the next great American superhero. Who Wants To Be A Superhero? is an all-new reality series that challenges a lucky few to create their very own superhero alter ego, live together in a secret lair under the watchful eye of Stan Lee and compete for the best reality competition prize yet: immortality! All they’ll need is an original idea, a killer costume and some real superhero mojo. The winning superhero is immortalized in a new comic book from Dark Horse Comics created by Stan Lee himself and will be featured in an original SCI FI Channel movie.
We received a bunch of emails from fans of
Who Wants to be a Superhero? letting us know that the first season of the show will be released on
September 21 in a special set sold through the Sci-Fi store for $24.95. The 2 disc set will include all 6 episodes, plus Bonus Material Auditions and a Q&A with Stan Lee. We don't know whether this will be an online only set, or whether it'll go to retail sometime later.
Thanks to Nathan for being the first to email us the info.
