Not bad, although I notice there's not much in the way of "eye-candy" heroes like we got with Lemuria and Major Victory last season. Probably not a great move for sustaining viewership.
Seems like an even spread of "serious" heroes with Tick-refugee self-parodies. The latter type of characters always struck me as having voluntarily entered the batter's box with two strikes against them. After all, the ultimate goal is to produce a marketable character; when it came down to Feedback and Fat Momma last season, I think we all knew who had it sewn up.
I also noticed that once again Stan eliminated applicants that were really committed to their in-character personalities, like Homeless Man. I guess the show's producers doesn't really want this to have a LARP feel to it. Perhaps that's for the best, since you'd wind up with a room full of loud attention-seekers all trying to upstage each other.
