Who Wants To Be A Superhero?
Comic-book writer, editor, creator and all-round living legend Stan Lee (Spider-Man, Hulk, The Fantastic Four, X-Men) chooses eleven lucky finalists, who enter a secret lair to begin their transformations - and their competition for the opportunity to become real-life superheroes.
Each week, the true natures of our aspiring heroes will be challenged. We're not talking about hurdling skyscrapers or bench-pressing lorries; our superheroes will be tested for courage, integrity, self-sacrifice, compassion, and resourcefulness - traits that every true superhero must possess.
