Who Wants to Be a Superhero?

Reality TV brought us real people doing somewhat stupid things. But at what point is it no longer reality? Maybe when the participants grown adults running around in tights.

If you could possess any superhero-like quality, what would it be? What? You really can leap a building in a single bound? Then you probably won't want to watch the posers/contestants on the SciFi Channel's new show - "Who Wants To Be A Superhero." This show features real people acting like never-before-seen superheros - complete with costumes and attitude. Coming July 26th.
