This series is not about silly heroics, it's about people caring about people. Both seasons were full of people who, by the end of the series, cared more about their colleagues than they did about winning a contest.
The human drama was as powerful as any reality show even though the subject was anything but reality. Many people probably watch to see the special effects but I watched to see the human emotion and drama.

Aside from the fact that the legendary Stan Lee serves a judge, jury, and executioner on this reality show, the very concept of a reality show that tests who has all of the essential character traits of a true superhero is doubtlessly what made WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO? the phenomenon that it has become.

This may have been the most fun cheesy reality show yet. Really, all one needed was an original superhero concept and a costume and one could try out. On April 4, 2006, about 120 contestants physically auditioned for Stan Lee at the Sunset Gower Studios, Hollywood, CA during a torrential rain storm, vying to be in the final 11-man lineup for the Sci-Fi Channel's WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO? Thousands more had submitted tape auditions. This was a six episode series, hosted and judged by Marvel comic book legend ... Read More
