The SciFi Channel has not only revealed the ten heroes who will compete on the second season of the Stan Lee-hosted Who Wants to Be a Superhero?, but have also moved the show to Thursdays and announced a contest for at-home viewers.

About the contest:

Using Planetwide Media’s Comic Book Creator, Who Wants to be a Superhero? fans can create their own character for themselves and design a comic book detailing their adventures in righting wrongs and defending the earth from the forces of evil.

The grand prize for the contest is a spanking new Westingtonhouse 42″ HDTV, the SciFI Channel DVD collection, and a full copy of the Planetwide Media Comic Book Creator software suite. The first runner up will receive a 24” LCD monitor, also from Westinghouse, as well as the Comic Creator software

The second season, starring the ’90s Image throwback Hyper-Strike (right) and nine other hopefuls, begins July 26. More info can be found on the SciFi site. Last year’s winner, Feedback, finally received his one-shot from Dark Horse Comics last week.
