Who Wants To Be A Superhero? premiered on the Sci Fi Channel last Thursday and will debut another new stunner every Thursday at 9 p.m. The techie in us is rooting for Cell Phone Girl, who actually looks like American Idol’s Katherine McPhee. Why? Her cell phone shoots fire, among other things. And her she’s vulnerable to “areas with no cell-phone service (i.e., valleys, tunnels); [and] must recharge daily.” Awesome!
We’re also partial to Feedback, a software engineer who couldn’t get time off from work to compete, so he just quit. Sweet. Plus he hysterically tanked the first challenge in the first episode.
If they’re not your style there’s also the guy who looks like Vin Diesel, the woman Martin Lawrence will probably sue for copyright infringement, the man who stole Magneto’s helmet, and several more.
It’s “so bad it’s good” TV.
And if that wasn’t enough, you’ve got Camera Hog Extraordinaire Stan Lee, who communicates to the superheroes via BlackBerry, but never calls it a BlackBerry. Sweet.
