Who Would Want To Be This Superhero?

The people competing to be Stan Lee's newest superhero in Who Wants To Be A Superhero? must not have seen his 2006 TV movie Lightspeed.

(Just imagine Stan Lee creating the Flash... again!) This is the only watchable scene in the whole thing, thanks to supervillain Python's dialogue about face-eating, blow-torch leg amputation, and severed legs running in circles. Actually, we're not sure what Python is talking about, but it sounds massively creepy.
