Stan Lee - Hollywood, CA © Glenn Harris / Photorazzi"Who Wants to be a Superhero?" will once again follow Lee's attempt to find a new superhero among a group of contestants who have created an interesting alter ego. We have a video clip that gives a sneak peek of the show you can see: Click-HereLegendary comic-book creator Stan Lee believes it's not about being able to harness extraordinary powers or display inexplicable strength when competing on "Who Wants to be a Superhero?"Lee says it is the inner super hero he is seeking out. The contestants mental and psychological make-up, and their feelings of right and wrong, Lee shared with reporters during a Sci Fi arranged conference call about "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" the second season."This is going to be the ones who have the most endurance, the ones who refuse to give up, the ones who perhaps are the cleverest and can figure out a way to accomplish something. If it was just brute strength, it would be a different kind of show. If it were just using the magic powers that they attribute to themselves, it would be a different show. The inner qualities that anybody is capable of possessing, those are the things that ultimately make the winner."."They make-up all kinds of names and powers for themselves. The amazing thing is they all act like they take it so seriously... They come-up with these great background stories of how they've gotten their powers," said Lee in the teleconference. "The auditions, we ought to do a whole show just of the auditions, maybe we'll do that someday."Lee is no idle producer, he is front and center in the series, guiding the action in a tandem screen that has the legend giving instructions to the contestants."I am on the monitor of course [instructing the contestants and narrating the show], but I also will appear as a character in the show very briefly, as a surprise. At least I hope it will be a surprise. We'll have to wait and see," he said.
