From Encyclopedia Superheroica -the Encyclopedia of Superheroes
Who Wants to Be a Superhero? The age old question is asked by Stan Lee himself and then a dozen real people vie for the opportunity to be the next official one. They are given heroic tasks to perform and judged on a number of factors including stamina, courage, charity, and their ability to keep a secret. This spectacle (lasting several weeks) is then broadcast on TV. The ultimate winner does not just get the opportunity to be famous on the convention circuit, they become immortalized in a comic book and even an action figure of their own.
