A Super-hero Reality Show?

The Sci-Fi channel is apparently going to produce a reality show for geeks who want to be super-heroes. No, this is not some kind of mad dream, but an actual attempt by Sci Fi to get in on on the (dwindling) reality show craze.

From the creator of “Mr. Personality” and “Who Wants To Marry My Dad” comes “Who Wants to Be A Superhero,” about people who elect to dress as superheroes of their own creation, then compete in tasks. Tasks like changing into your superhero costume without letting any civilians spot you. The big winner’s super-character becomes the subject of both a SciFi TV-movie and a new comic book written by Lee himself.

This one has "inevitable failure" written all over it. But it could be fun to watch the slow inevitable collapse into terminal silliness. (Fair warning on the linked article. It is to AICN where the reader comments can be decidedly profane.)
