What a brilliant contest. Sci Fi Channel is looking for people to dress up as their own original super hero characters for a new TV show. The winner gets fame and glory as well as getting to have their own comic book produced by Marvel Comics under Stan Lee.
"Finalists will leave their former lives behind and live as their brainchild heroes 24/7, all under Stan Lee’s watchful eye. Each week, our aspiring heroes will be challenged with competitions designed to test their true Superhero abilities. "
If only I lived in America. I'd be able to dress up as my own hero Black Hole (plug intended).
I think the main problem you'll find with a competition like this is that the people who are inclined to create a costume probably don't have the typical superhero physique.
