The Reality Show for Superheroes

- Опубліковано 12 сер 2021
- Stan Lee's "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" was a reality competition show from 2006 where a bunch of goofy adults competed against each other in some less-than-exciting challenges, all for the grand prize of having a comic book written about them. It was silly, it was frustrating, and it was hardly memorable. Let's check it out!

I love how every negative trait Stan Lee brings up are everything his A list heroes have.
Who's the stripper?
@@christianmendez931 Chris Pratt.
@@christianmendez931 Mantis and Emma Frost for two. They're part of main teams. GotG and the X-men. Both important characters in each team
@@christianmendez931 Scott
No doubt in my mind he was just saying what the producers told him to say, so I don't think it was his fault
I haven't even watched the video, but can I just share that I used to be...OBSESSED with this show.
first reply
Same! I loved it so much
Me too
I’m so glad you too colab, I found Mista GG after Scottie boy. But I always thought you guys doing a video together would’ve been sick! Love you guys 🤙🏻
Sammmee omg this was my favorite show as a kid!!
The one moment this review didn’t cover was when Feedback tearfully told Stan that after his father’s death, Stan-through his comics-became a kind of surrogate father to him, teaching him right from wrong. It was one of the few times I ever saw Stan get really serious: he answered “Thank you. I’m not sure I deserve that, but that you.” You could tell it was a really humbling moment for him.
As much as I like Major Victory, I did start rooting for Feedback after he said that. Well actually it was mostly from that challenge with the "inmates", where the heroes were suppose to hug them. Feedback was the only one to get one of them to agree to a hug.
Aaww... I'm glad he won at the end :(
@@weakvsfire i was major victory or feedback they both were the most trying to be heros
Try not to cry, cry a lot meme. I actually hear that story a lot, not necessarily with a parent passing, but a ton of kids who read comics while going through tough times and it gives them both hope and something to strive for
That’s so incredibly sweet
Even when he leaves, Major Victory still walks like he's won. Truly, a major victory.
Every failure is a victory for Major Victory
aw man i was hoping he'd win :c
He was a winner, not a wiener
I find it hilarious that Stan got upset at the one woman for flirting with all the male superheroes when that was basically Wasp's entire personality for the first fifteen issues of Avengers.
He's gotta sweep that era of Super-Heros under the large Marvel rug.
And Natasha in all the movies.
@@tunafish5462 Natasha is literally a spy tho that’s one tool she uses to get jobs done
@Ian Turner Janet
all the original x-men (except ice man) try to hit on jean grey in the first issue
Major Victory seemed like a parental superhero to Feedback, no wonder he didn't make it.
No wonder Disney bought out Marvel...
And we all know what happened to Feedback's first father.
WARNING: *Spicy Meme Alert*
@@federalagent2921 I-
@@federalagent2921 omg you’re right, should’ve known he’d win right after that was made public knowledge
*An amazing quote I found from Major Victory*
“I always equated meeting Stan Lee with meeting my wife. It was April 4, 2006 when I met Stan and Jennifer Mae. A producer named Jeff brought her over and introduced us in our Superhero identities. ‘Major Victory this is Diamond Girl.’ We hit it off and kept in touch. From that day on, we were together.
We met on April 4th, got married on April 4th, and we both met Stan Lee on that rainy April 4th in 2006."
I went on a quest to see what happened to him after the show, and this absolutely made my day
pin this Scott
That's so cute omg
Further proof that Major Victory was the true hero. But tbf Feedback probably needed more being jobless
I love him. I hoped stuff worked out for him and his daughter :(
@@caffeinatedkatie4696 he also had actual interesting superpowers, major victory was a basic brick with a lot of personality
i'm sorry but major victory having his backstory being a stripper is so cool, i would watch the heck of that superhero
Stan: what kind of message does that send to your fans?
Me: that anyone can be a hero, despite their past.
@@4xdblack EXACTLY
Didn't Stan have a superhero that was a stripper?
@@undyne1 I think that he was reading some kind of script because it was a TV show or it was because the comic that would be made of them will be directed to kids
It really does just work, doesn't it? Like Stripper or wrestler. You get the athleticism, you know how to perform under pressure and all that stuff, and then it also perfectly explains the costume because of course, right? And if you're a stripper, you go back to the club at night and then you go to the guy serving drinks, and they can be like your informant.
"Hey, Victor, watch out when you go home tonight, I heard people talk about how there's been kidnappings lately. People keep disappearing and the only thing left behind is a white rose" or whatever.
(Side note, I know his name is Chris, but Maor Victory's real name being Victor feels more comic book-y)
Then you get all the potential love interests and the drama or whatever, and it's like... yeah, I'd read that. Heck yeah.
Scott was really downplaying the tragedy of Major Victory, I had only known the guy for like 10 minutes but I was starting to tear up a little.
He didn't even mention the phone call they set up between Major Victory and his daughter, where she tells him that even though he was eliminated, she's so proud of him! 😭😭😭😭😍😍😍
@@Arosukir6 I don’t know why that made me tear up all these years later just remembering it
same.
Major victory seems like an awesome person to know
He's so endearing, encouraging and befriended everyone he could on the show. I want a show with him and feedback
HBO gotta figure it out
@@Non-Legit disney+ actually, since they were "created" by Stan Lee
Major Victory and Feedback Vs Dark Enforcer
I could definitely imagine Major Victory having their own Comic series.
@@Gambito99100 yeah, created by Stan Lee, not Marvel. So that wouldn't automatically make it Disney. Disney owns Marvel, not Stan Lee lol.
I’ve seen only five minutes of major victory, but I would die for him. The way he finger gunned those birds had me on the ground sobbing.
The awkward interaction with the inmate had me dying omggg “my dad killed himself” “so we’re finished?” 😭😭
I was thinking for real or is that part of his characters backstory?
@@caffeinatedkatie4696 I think it was for real, because that would be a pretty messed up thing to fake
@@nbhd_deadpoet well I mean if he's in trying to be in character. Idk...
@@caffeinatedkatie4696 It’s real, his father committed suicide
Stan: “Honesty is the number one trait of being a superhero”
Also Stan: *has a challenge where participants get punished for being honest about their identities*
Major Victory’s and Feedback’s bromance is everything I need
Lol the way Feedback's face screams "please not yet" when Major Victory breaks the hug 😂
I swear it seemed like instead of going home after major victory got eliminated feedback thought he was going to be publically executed
Stan Lee: “Honesty is the number one trait of being a superhero.”
Also Stan Lee: “You NEVER tell anyone your secret identity, even when asked.”
I'm just replying so you can see how much likes you got
wait, y'all think feedback getting emotional over major victory is cringe??? that was the sweetest, realest thing I've ever seen on a reality competition show
Who said it was cringe? It was super sweet!
@@caffeinatedkatie4696 the way he framed it in the video when it happened implied that, i feel like
I thought that was so touching, and every rewatch of this video, I mentally salute those two men
STAN:
"Honesty is the most important trait a superhero can have."
ALSO STAN:
Peter Parker hides true identity from loved ones for 60 straight years
Also Stan: "Super heroes must lie about their identities literally forever" lol
Peter hid his identity as Spider-Man because he knew that villains would use that info to target and hurt his loved ones
That's dumb he hid his identity from his fam for their sake
The fantastic four don't hide thier identities
@@lavabite You're right. The guy on the show who got eliminated for revealing his identity should have made that point.
Warner should create a show called "who wants to become robin" starring batman and Alfred in search for the perfect orphan
Gotham's next top robin
I heard Nightwing read the script for episode 1 and hated it... Batman was never the same after that.
I love that Stan Lee, of all his creations has Striperella framed behind him
I think it was because he personally owned the rights to her and not to, say, any of the Marvel stuff.
Now what if we dramatized the events of the show? Feedback is an underdog, Major Victory is his father figure, there’s an emotional death scene.
I love this 😭
Mans went through a whole arc on the show
Main character type beat
"Honesty is the number one trait of being a superhero." That's why they hide their identities and keep their friends and families completely in the dark about everything.
Stan was not honest about honesty 😔
Really wished someone retorted back to Stan Lee with what you just said about secret identities when kicked off.
Well lying to Stan about their dayjob doesn't make it so that a villain can blackmail them with their families lives so it doesn't seem like a straight comparison lol
@@lukes9192 It makes sense that they lie about their day job; Stan Lee was opposed to the contenders appearing on the show to self promote. Even though that's Stan Lee made it by taking credit for the creation for most Marvel characters, and cameoing in almost every Marvel cilm adaptation.
@@pepperedash4424 thats kinda what Im saying. It IS superhero like to lie about your identity to protect your family. It is not superhero like to lie to a dude to circumvent rules for personal gain
i cried when major victory hugged feedback
Right? I was sitting there fighting back tears like "Why am I so invested in this??"
Bro same like I did not expect me to get this invested
They’re in love and you can’t convince me otherwise I’m sobbing
me too, not when they hugged but when he said "dont do it"
"I lost my mom"
"where is she?"
*SPEECH 100*
You've awoken memories of this show I forgot existed.
Love your channel! Nice to see great creators supporting great creators
For real, I haven't thought about this show in a solid decade and it triggered a time travel moment
Yeeeeeees!!!!
Wasn’t expecting to see you here 😁
What are you doing here map man?
You’re my super hero Scott
Don’t make me come over there and upside down Spider-Man kiss you
@@ScottCramer how do I make you
I want this
Please come over and do that
Please let me know how
@@ScottCramer oops it appears I’m stuck in this alleyway… I could use some help
@@Bengal ummmm, ehh, I don't know how to tell you this, but ummmmmmm, Scott's in a relationship
@@Bengal You know, I really never thought about a bengal and Scott Cramer Collab, but not that I am, I need it.
I bet a lot of the weird critiques on the contestants was the studios interference. As you said, if Stan made Stripperella I don’t think he’d care about their personal life but idk
I was thinking the same thing!
I don't think he cared at all, my man Stan just had a script and was following it.
I think it was about how the Comic that is made of the winner (Feedback) directed towards kids
The girls' superpowers are wayyy more likely to get me to read a comic than the guys.
Right? Like the guys took what every superhero already has, why make a new comic about them when there’s nothing new? The girls actually tried to make interesting, unique powers.
I feel they could have been a bit better but at least they TRIED to do something original. Esp Cellphone Girl since like EVERYONE has a cellphone. Plus with those powers it makes you kinda interested to see how/if they could make they work
I may be a tad biased, but I think Feedback’s power deserves some acknowledgement. I’d love to read about a superhero campaigning for the a Watchmen game to be starring Dr. Manhatten as the MC, or complaining when the newest Battlefield is set in the war of 1812.
@@salmonmankingoftheocean7624 it is cool but seeing the wide array of video games there are out there it seems he's a bit OP. Like idk does he have had to play it, seen it recently or does the power just have to exist in a video game and he can use it
Idk creature sounds like one of those free comics they give out to teach kids how to eat healthy
You forgot the most wholesome moment of the show; When Fat Mama goes to the director of the show and tells them that Feedback should win because he genuinely wanted it and she was just on the show for her kids.
When this show came out I watched the entire first season. I don't think I knew about the second season until many years later.
major victory seems like such a sweet guy 😭
kinda wanted to see him strip tbh haha
Major victory did actually become a marvel character too
@@Dante-le4cp Did he? All I could find was Major Victory the Vance Astro version. (Which came out in 1969.)
@@Dante-le4cp WHAT?
Can I just say that I appreciate how important self care is to Scott. Honestly, if Iron Man and Captain America practiced a little more self care, maybe wouldn't have had a civil war.
Why is this comment so accurate..!
I actually got to be on this show when I was younger. They had us write essays and whoever had the best got to be an extra for the episode where they go to the elementary school. I have signed pictures from Stan Lee and from the 3 super heros that went to our school.
THAT IS SO COOL!
Dude, Feedback getting upset about Major Victory going home actually made me tear up a lil
Honestly I'm kinda glad you did this show in a video. My dad actually auditioned for it. I'm pretty sure his audition was even in a promo/ one of the auditions shown in the first episode, cant remember if it was season 1 or 2 though. He was "Captain Cola"
thats super cool omg :0
His nemesis was Pepsi Man
@@TrashmanCZ His love interest is Madame Sprite
"Heroes don't kill people!"
*The Punisher has left the chat*
Eh, he's really an anti-hero. He doesn't count.
@@janelr5854 what about the hulk
@@PikaJim he doesn't, it was eventually mentioned, and is probably a retcon, but he causes a lot of property damage but not a lot of casualities, and never killed on purpose
So does Moon Knight
MCU Heros would disagree
Fat Mama was my family’s favorite! I remember an episode where they had a timed mission at a public space but there was a little girl crying. Some of the contestants ignored her to save time but she went into Mama Bear mode and dropped everything to help the child. ❤️ I hope she’s doing well today! She wasn’t the winner but she will always be a hero to me.
(After watching the video I see that you mentioned that challenge lol)
I genuinely remember crying when Major Victory got sent home omg, I'm sure his daughter is proud of how lovely he was :'(
Does anyone remember a show similar to this where Stan Lee tried finding "real life" superheroes? It essentially boiled down to being a superhero themed Guinness world record show, but I used to love watching it!
Yes I remember that it's what I thought this video was going to be about lol
Yeah and the host was a contortionist. "Stan Lee's Superhumans"
Wait, I think I remember this. Was there a person who was like a human calculator and another person who I think he proved his strength by.......I wanna say roll down a frying pan. I forgot what the pan was made out of though.
There was a person who was a human magnet.and a person who can survive in the cold winters of alaska in just shorts
@@weakvsfire there was a guy that was able to bend a craftsman wrench and I think he pulled a bunch of trucks or something and there was a blind guy that basically wasnt blind cause his hearing was so good he had sonar
major victory has big peacemaker energy
What a joke
@@psychotropicstate i know you are but what am i?
Felt like someone punched me in the gut when major victory said "Victory Out"
The “IMMORTALITY” prize sounds like the best game show prize of all.
Didn't major victory get like completely destroyed by Stan for being a generic superhero or was I thinking of someone else?
Yup, called him a parody of a superhero
@@SES4L Well that's mean. What kind of constructive criticism is that?
Superman is generic (yeah, that's because he was the first and everything after him is a copycat) but everyone loves him. Who cares if you have a generic name and costume, it's what you do that defines you!
@@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8 he is like the Tick, and he is not a parody of a superhero, he is just a superhero 100% of the time, and nothing can hurt him physically or mentally, he is like the ideal superhero
Scott, it would be absolutely VILLAINOUS if you didn’t try to interview Major Victory!
10:13 When you started with the puns, I was like, “I guess she… ran out of minutes.” And you kept going while I was talking to my phone like, “Say she ran out of minutes! It’s funny!” And then you didn’t and I was disappointed… but my man Stan came through with the clutch save! That made me feel good
Major Victory rly was THE man... Only gold comes out of him. Never heard such a tender "shut up" in my life.
Honestly Stan feels like they sat him in front of a camera and held up cue cards, he doesn't want to be here
It doesn’t feel like that. It’s exactly what they did.
Major Victory feels like a superhero who would annoy Homelander in The Boys
And subsequently Homelander would be like "Oh you can fly? Then fly." And like throw him Mach 1 at a brick wall
@@psychotropicstate I’m giggling so hard
I’m only watching the boys for Jensen Ackles-
@@nbhd_deadpoet that’s pretty lame. it’s a good show
@@imsadlol4528 oh I actually really like it now- I meant I only started watching it because of jensen
there’s actually a major victory in the comics, he first appeared in 1969 and has nothing to do with the one in this show. however, if it’s any consolation to those we’re rooting for him, he probably would have had to change a lot of aspects of his super-personality to not cause confusion of a copyright kerfuffle with the original major victory
I'm sad you didn't cover the episode that took place at my school. I got to be in it. I had a sweet zinger against feedback that one of the producers told me to say
No frickin way, you’re the “are you lying or are you crazy” kid?!
@@ScottCramer I am indeed. I got to meet Stan Lee and everything. The producer who calmed fat momma down when she was upset was my friend's dad, that's how are school got picked. I'd be down for an interview if you want.
Also the whole thing was filmed in our cafeteria, not a classroom.
You gotta appreciate the genius move of claiming that you don't want attention while giving your superhero the codename Ms. Limelight.
Scott saying “ i’ll make you care” is the most intense thing I had ever heard him say
What a surprisingly wholesome show??? I loved hearing Scott roasting Stan lol.
Damn why lol.
"it could be spun both ways, it's kind of a lose lose" and just like that, Scott wanders into the plot of 60 years of Spider-Man comics
Insert every Spider-Man plot ever
"I can't disclose my secret identity."
- guy who's face is in full view
major victory deserved the win i cannot believe this
Right!!!!
I was partial on NitroG myself
@@psychotropicstate victory just had main character vibes
Major victory is actually a marvel character now too
@@Dante-le4cp I looked this up and apparently Major Victory's first appearance was in 1969. So apparently the guy accidentally stole the name of an already existing super hero 😂
I just really appreciate that Scott goes through multiple episodes/a whole season on these episodes. I’m always disappointed when people only cover the pilots of shows
Edit; wait, is that a Sky High reference at the end?
Reminds me of 2014's classic The Quest, where people pretended to be medieval/fantasy knights and tried to become to ultimate paladin or heir to the throne or something. I was so into that show lol
Stan: "Super heroes don't kill people, they save people!"
Scott: "Tell that to Deadpool."
Deadpool: "Not a superhero."

@@danieljimenez7325 And the first one.
Yeah, Deadpool is an anti-hero, they aren't fully good or fully bad. Boba Fett also fits this bill. They also make the most interesting characters imo.
I wish Major Victory would be my dad that would be pretty heroic tbh
Very very heroic, cannot stress how heroic it would be, Chris.
Major Victory immediately hops into action when he hears the girl. Definitely a dad
Major Victory being eliminated was so emotional wtf
I had never even seen this show before and all it took was seeing major victory for 15 minutes to start bawling like a baby when he got eliminated

"superheroes are ALWAYS honest"
yes because leading a double life is one of the most honest things one can do
...So Feedback and Major victory were definitely in love 😂

How is it that trisha paytas is in EVERYTHING. I swear, everyday I find out she was in some old, obscure or not so obscure reality tv show. Trisha paytas has been a menace on 100's of different sets at this point.
Her being in Eminem’s music video surprised me
The devil works hard, Trisha Paytas works harder
Her only goal is attention, doesn't matter where it comes from
There’s a kid version of this, I remember watching it on cbbc, it got cancelled because the judges were too mean and the kids kept crying.
Lmao in literally other context imagine the girl being told “climb into my arms,” doing it, and then her immediately asking if she’ll ever see her mom 😬
... I'm mad that I genuinely love Major Victory. He's so... so GOOD. He makes me think of like, Shazam levels of being a superhero-- without actually being secretly a kid, of course. Just a bit silly, with a lot of heart.
that one challenge would make me terrified of dogs.
also i love major victory
"as a human, im chris" please idc i love him let him win or else
i am so invested 😭
how dare stan say that stripper comment to major victory grrrrgrrrrr
22:33 can't believe stan lee is slut shaming major victory for being an ex stripper WHILE THERE IS A PICTURE OF HIS CHARACTER STRIPPERELLA RIGHT BEHIND HIM

@@kanderson8965 .25 cents surplus. Heck yeah!
Stan just flamed all of them the entire show
That thumbnail awakened a long forgotten memory of a show i used to be OBSESSED with when it was coming out when I was 10 and 11, I remember distinctly how a superhero that was bigger instead of muscley was a really mind shattering idea for me and made me really happy
"I lost my mom"
"Where is she?"
"I-....don't know"
"WHERE IS THIS CHILD'S MOTHER?!"
...
"CLIMB INTO MY ARMS"
"I'll stop the world and melt with you" as the song choice!? Was this an intentional Sky High reference???
I assume so, since he references the villain of the movie in the video!
It definitely was
I always wanted to be on this show when it came out. But I missed the deadline and probably wouldn’t have got in anyway. Brings back memories. Thanks, Scott.
Edit: Realised this is the American version. I watched the CBBC version which is pretty different lol
Bro Major Victory is so wholesome. I hope his daughter sees him as a superhero too.
Major Victory deserved to win. That dude totally has it. He plays the superhero persona perfectly. He did it better than anyone else I saw there!
There is SO much homoerotic tension in all of this, especially Major Feedback leaving.
Bromance surpasses romance any day of the week
"Yeah, tell that to Deadpool"
Tbf, Deadpool's really more of an Antiheroes than a superhero😅
I think it would be neat if a show like this came out today. Even though it's not a cash prize, I think having a comic book issue based off of your own superhero is really cool.
I initially thought this was about Stan Lee's Superhumans where he and the world's most flexible man goes to check out people who have unique genetic differences and things that give them cool abilities. I'd love to see someone talk about that show, it was interesting.
Stan lee saying that a super hero can’t be a stripper after making a super hero that was literally a stripper is more hypocritical than my Christian grandma saying “I only believe what I can see”
lol
I think that's more self contradictory than hypocritical, but yeah...
To be fair tho cause that was an adult comedy show and Stan lee was saying that a stripper super hero wasn’t a very good role model/inspiration to kids so
@@jpoor1 Why would a superhero being an inspiration to kids on an adult comedy show be an issue? Major Victory's career as a male stripper had past, and Stan Lee's past behavior of prematurely announcing his replacement as head of Marvel because he got hammered at a party isn't inspirational to kids either. No matter how you look at it; Stan Lee's a hypocrite.
@@pepperedash4424 tbf i think it was the studio/script writers who told stan what to say
I dont think stan would of cared about the ex stripper thing
Why do i feel super nostalgic watching this, without even watching the show ever?
"Imagine not telling them your name though, you'd look like such a weirdo!"
*contestants are all dressed in outrageous costumes*
I watched this show every week with my parents. I could tell it was among the more scripted reality shows, but it was fun as hell.
Stan Lee: “Superheroes don’t kill people!”
Iron Man backs away slowly
He probably should have clarified by saying "superheros only kill bad guys." But that's not entirely true either, so...
Bruh, having only seen 10 minutes of footage of this man, I can comfortably say that I would take a bullet for Major Victory.
I love Scott's energy in every video. I'm getting burnt out on commentary channels because they often feel like they're just complaining for views, but Scott is always so refreshingly positive!
Feedback x Major Victory competitors to lovers slowburn
Me x Forbush-Man admirer to getting to play him in the MCU (Marvel make me Forbush-Man)
My local comic book shop, Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles was in this show! Somewhere I have that comic...not sure anyone remembers it now so immortality may be a stretch.
Honestly I feel like most of the stuff that Stan said was what the producers told him to do. He probably doesn’t care if someone used to be a stripper, he’d probably think it was nice that the guy wanted to change.
Holy shit I loved this show as a kid. I keep being surprised when Scott talks about shows I grew up with until I realise we’re like the same age
How you don't have multi millions of subscribers is beyond me. I get so hyped up every time I see you've uploaded because there's literally 0% chance it won't be insanely entertaining.

Kind of weird that major victory straight up grabs a girl and runs away. She even asks will I see my mom again.
I have no qualms to say I LOVED THIS SHOW. It happened right after I finally returned to my home in New Orleans a year after Katrina and it was just good ol fun
