[Sci Fi Channel] "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?"

A crime in progress! Let me change into my costume so I can...call the police.

were the other ones so bad that the online vote picked her. That just sounds like the lamest thing in the world.

Actually, if memory serves, the on-line vote went to Lemuria (the chick in the gold outfit), not Cell Phone Girl.

I wonder why.
Though she was one of the ones to stop for the little girl, so she's got potential.

My wife and I were wondering if the Iron Enforcer might be another producer plant like Rotiart. Wethought he could become a villain as the show progressed and become one of the challenges for the heroes later on.

 

[Richards]

Yeah, I wouldn't put it past any of the "failed" superheroes to come back later as villains. When Stan told Nitro G to remove his uniform up there on the rooftop, he said something along the lines of "tomorrow is another day" after telling him to leave. I kind of half wondered if Nitro G was going to be in the next week's show as a baddie.

I think all of the female superheroes stopped for the little girl, with the exception of Monkey Woman and Creature. Of the men, only Major Victory stopped to help - none of the others managed to even notice her.

Part of the thing is, in this day and age, most men wouldn't even think about approaching a little girl, much less leading her off someplace. That's an amazingly good way to get arrested. At best, you would just point her to the security office, or go get security yourself.

I think the Major Victory guy though is the only one that is really thinking like a superhero and/or being on the lookout for a setup like this. The way he acted tends to indicate he knew it was staged.

Even when watching the beginning of the first episode, the only reason why I suspected that Nitro G wouldn't last more than an episode or two was that I only saw him in one or two of the show's promo shots, whereas I've seen the remaining contestants in practically all of the promo shots.

From here on out, though, I have no idea who'll be chosen to leave.

In any case, the second episode airs tomorrow (Thursday, 8/3/06).

Looking at the official page for the show on Sci-Fi, I did notice something that looks to me like a giveaway... NitroG, like the other 'heros' who are still there, has a new costume. This may or may not mean anything, but I suspect it does.

I have no idea of how Cell Phone Girl would actually work as a character.

Obviously, the concept's not meant to be taken too seriously, but c'mon already, you honsestly can't imagine how a cell phone could be a super-gadget? It has a bright colorful display, lots of brightly-lit buttons, maybe an antena, and it's basically shaped like a Star Trek TNG phaser. It's no great leap in imagination to envision a super-cell phone that can emit energy rays and other Electra Woman effects.
