Did anyone get to see this...?

I'm a bit of a comic book geek inside and I found these 'Uber Geeks' quite entertaining.

Basically, Stan Lee (creator of hulk, spiderman, x-men etc) has launched a search to find a new superhero based on peoples real-life creations. Some of these include - Major Victory, Fat Momma, Iron Enforcer and my favourite name - Monkey Woman. After various 'hero' challenges, one gets eliminated each week by Stan until there remains a winner.

Last week for instance they were timed changing into costume and racing to a finish line whilst remembering to save a little girl who had lost her mother. They 1st key aspect was to find somewhere hidden to change so nobody saw. One guy changed SLAP BANG in the middle of the park. Another changed in a rubbish bin!!!

The winner then gets immortalised in an original Marvel comic book and gets there own TV Special starring themselves as the lead character.

They even have they're own secret lair.

If you havent seen it - take a gander. It's pretty funny. Major Victory is the campest 'straight' superhero I've ever seen!!!

"Be a winner... Not a weiner!"

Despite being cheesier than a triple-cheese Chicago Pizza, it was fun to watch. Just a shame they only briefly showed the audition stages. There was some fantastically bad costumes to see, especially the guy that came along dressed as a giant gonad! :lol:
