Who Wants To Be A Superhero? is now taking applications. You have to have a costume, powers and I would imagine a physique that looks good.

Now, in the past, I’ve been quite open with you all that I am not an Adonis. I’ve shared with you my hopes to get on another reality show: The Biggest Loser. (That there probably tells you I’m not costume-ready, unless they want a variation on Bouncing Boy.) Yeah, it would be embarrassing, but worth it.

So I asked myself: which would be more humiliating? Would I rather take my shirt off and stand on a scale in front of millions of people, or dress up in a costume with some third-rate name (you KNOW all the good ones are taken!) and tell the millions…okay, tens of thousands…watching Sci-Fi Channel about how much I want to be superhero?

You know what? It’s not even close. I love comic books but I wouldn’t be caught dead on that show.

If you have the courage, go ahead and sign up.
