Stan Lee discusses the strenuous selection process behind “Who Wants To Be A Superhero?”:

There was one girl who bared her breast. There were guys who just had the most ridiculous and unbelievable powers that they gave themselves and some who were so funny-looking that you couldn’t believe it, as far as their costumes. We couldn’t use them because they were too extreme, but at the same time we did get a big laugh out of them and in the back of my mind I was thinking, “Well, I don’t know, but maybe the fact that they’re so extreme should make us use them. Maybe the audience would laugh.” But then you’re walking a fine line of whether you’re looking for the viewers to laugh or to give them a little credibility. It isn’t easy picking these ones.

And that’s how they chose the entirely credible and not at all playing on stereotypes Mr. Mitzvah.
