"Who Wants to be a Superhero?" the reality show?

I thought that this was a joke at first. The folks over at Sci-Fi Channel are going to have a reality show all about potential comic book characters. At first thought, this sounds like a great idea for an aspiring comic book writer to get a start in the market. Get their super hero idea into the hands of people who can make it come to life. One second glance this sounds like an episode of Jerry Springer gone bad: "Today on Jerry Springer we have the men who like to dress up as female super heroes - and their cross dressing mothers!" The only catch is that you have to dress up in costume as the character that you hope to have put into the comic book. I have been to several cons in my life time of many different types (and do still occasionally go for fun - whole other topic), the one commonality of all these conventions are that they have people dressing up in costume. I think that there will be no end to the number of people signing up for this reality show. They are taking applications to become part of the show right now: Link. P.S. I think Newman the Intern from The Phil & Drew and Kaci Show on 98.9 KYIS FM is a perfect candidate for this show. Via popgadget.
