Who wants to be a superhero?

[YoungOnce]

When I have watched it, it seemed like the "elimination" portion of the show was just too contrived. Really, with no criteria other than Stan saying stuff like "...a superheroe should always be a good example to others and since you didn't look both ways before crossing the street, I'm afraid you will be eliminated. Please turn in your costume."

Any character could be gone on a whim it seemed.

I always felt like the brass decided well ahead who might make a possible "intellectual property" and the others were just eliminated at the best opportunity.

I don't even know if they put that much planning into it. basically anyone they chose they believed had enough interest to be marketable, But I have always beleived the producers of "reality" shows contrive everything for tv anyway. "Real world" hah try to support 3 kids and pay the rent on time that's reality
