Superheros....wow

I found an interesting show today while flipping through the channels... It's called "who wants to be a superhero." I found it very funny, but quite pointless. Here is the description I found online:

"Each contestant begins with an original idea for a superhero, a self-made costume, and their best superhero mojo. From thousands of hopefuls, Stan Lee chooses the lucky finalists who move together into a secret lair. There they will begin their transformations and their competition for the opportunity to become real-life superheroes. Over the course of the series, they will test their mettle, try to overcome their limitations, and do what it takes to prove that they truly are super."

"The 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 natures. No one will be leaping over tall buildings in a single bound; our superheroes will be tested for courage, integrity, self-sacrifice, compassion, and resourcefulness all traits that every true superhero must possess."

And here are the possible Superheros... They look like real winners to me.
(For pictures click here)

Cell Phone Girl

She can teleport from one active cell phone to another; eyes can take digital photos; download any information available on a computer (i.e., learn Japanese on the fly); use cell-phone waves to move physical objects; fires beams from her cell phone. Hot guys sometimes lead her astray from her crimefighting missions. (Well we know how to get her out of the way...with hot guys)

Creature

She can heal others with fruit and raw foods; shoots fire-beams; wields a magical bullwhip; throws knives with unerring precision. Creature is a fairy from another planet that landed here accidentally and regained her powers by eating fruit. (Kill the fruit trees and we can kill her)

Iron Enforcer

He has the densest bone structure of any human; mind-blowing "death punch"; wields an arsenal of high-tech weapons. (High tech weapons? Who needs those when you can just punch people to death?)

Fat Momma

She can grow to five times her normal size when she gets angry. (I wonder if she looks like the marshmellow man from ghost busters)

Feedback
Absorbs powers and abilities from video games that he plays; generates a feedback field that disrupts electronics within 15 feet; computer genius. (That will come in real handy with the villins)

Lemuria

She shoots laser-beams and fireballs; levitates; drains energy from people, animals and plants; hurls orbs of solar energy. (Okay we already have superheros that can do these things...they are called the X-men)

Levity

Controls air molecules; creates force fields; shoots blasts of air that can penetrate concrete. (Wow, that could come in handy if you are burried under concrete)

Major Victory

He can levitate and is never knocked down; super-strength; can jump 375 feet straight up; can go 25 minutes without air; super-acute vision; can manipulate sound waves to create noises or throw his voice. (By far the funniest...he was skipping down the sidewalk)

Monkey Woman

High-tech weapons and gadgets disguised as bananas. (Hope she doesn't get hungry and deside to try to eat the bananas...Oh and she can climb trees aparently)

Nitro G

Super strength; super speed; flight; manipulates energy (It's been done; maybe that is why he has already been kicked off the show)

Ty'veculus

Super-strength; super-speed; fire resistance; always detects lies because he can only hear the truth. (He looks like Boba Fett from StarWars)
