When we last left our heroes, Nitro G had just been eliminated from the group.

Excelsior!

or whatever.

This episode, each superhero had to write a question of another hero, anonymously, and have Stan Lee ask the hero in front of the group. Obviously, this tactic was done to build some strife within the group to make for better TV. Instead, it was a way to ultimately insult the Iron Enforcer, asking him about taking steroids, (which he didn’t deny), and about using deodorant (which he didn’t say he used, either). Most people felt that the Iron Enforcer was being built up to be a heel or villain. More on that later.

The first challenge, which we have seen over and over in the internal promos, was to “help an old lady that is locked out of her house” by donning one of those attack dog-proof suits and making it to the back door. I don’t remember each character, however, I do remember that Major Victory did it very quickly, the Iron Enforcer got to within a foot of the door and gave up, and cell phone girl tried for 4 seconds and quit because of a headache.

The first elimination was Cell Phone Girl, obviously because her gimmick was lame because she gave up so quickly and had a lame excuse.

Next, all the superheroes got a makeover. Most were fine, except Tyveculous, who looked like a plush Spartan warrior. He told Stan he liked the costume, but later on went back and told Stan he didn’t like it after being dissed by Feedback. Tyveculous donned his old outfit once again and was worried that he’d be cut because of what had transpired.

There was another cut immediately after the makeover, this time it was the Iron Enforcer. The IE didn’t get much of a makeover, and Stan said that he “thought something was missing” referring to IE’s simplistic revamping. The IE blew off the rest of the crew, and threw his cardboard and tin foil Megatron gun into the garbage.

epilogue

the Iron Enforcer is walking down the dark street dissing the other superheroes, when Stan lee’s face pops up on a TV that came from a trashcan or something…. decides to make the IE a super villain and gives him a makeover in a van parked nearby. The resulting look is an amalgam of snake eyes and cobra commander.

At any rate, you can watch the entire episode on Scifi.com for free. — http://www.scifi.com/superhero/video/ — any inaccuracies are purely coincidental and due to the fact that I was semi-paying attention.

Excelsior!

Or whatever.
