Did anybody catch this? It was actually pretty funny, if you don't mind a semi "reality" show on Sci-Fi.

    I thought I was going to hate it. Thought it would be nothing bu making fun of comic book fans. But I was really impressed with the first test. It showed me that the show really understood what superheroes are about. I guess they should with Stan Lee on board.

      And what's with Stan Lee making all those DC comics references? Wouldn't he be more inclined to give his own comic book company free publicity?

        Ah yes, but you see, DC RULES! Stan even made an apperance in the Superman documentary Look up in the Sky. Seriously though, if you want to make iconic references to lairs or changing clothes are you going to site Batman and Superman or Doctor Strange and Iron Man? Not sure how closely Stan works with Marvel these days. They may have pissed him off over his cut of the Spider-Man movies.

      Awe, I can't believe I missed this! I bet it is a riot! Pathetic, but a riot none the less. I gotta see it when it airs next.

        I caught the debut rerun also and was plesantly suprised also. It was quite well done in concept. We'll see how it turns out cause I think I'll be watching this some more.

          I had it on my dvr and finally saw the debut the other night. I agree this show is a riot. These people are real characters. I like just before commercials when they draw the scene as a comic. very cool.

            So how about that Iron Enforcer becoming the Dark Enforcer?

              I said during the first episode that if you eliminate a guy like that too quickly he's likely to turn into a super villain.

                I liked it. Great move.

                Overall, I liked most of the costume upgrades too. Tyveculus was stupid for not saying something sooner and kowtowing to Stan. I couldn't believe anyone wanting to be a super hero would accept a look downgrade like that.

                  I don't know if Tyvaculus bought his costume somewhere, but it was one of the better homemade ones. His original helmet and shoulderpads were definately better than the makeover ones. I don't know why he said he liked it when even Stan seemed unsure about it.

              My son and I were not happy when Iron Enforcer got elimnated, but then when he became Dark Enforcer we were COOL!!!. We agree he makes a better Villian. The show is getting fun to watch. It is a good corney change to reality TV.
