America's Got Power #1

[superfangirl1]

Seventeen years ago, a crystal magically appeared in San Francisco and every pregnant woman within a five mile radius immediately gave birth to a super powered baby, regardless of the period of her pregnancy.

Reality television has been cranked up to an extreme level, as super powered teenagers participate in a televised battle, which may or may not result in death, to win a coveted membership spot on the only government super team in the world, The Power Generation.


Last year’s season finale resulted in both the final two competitors dying… and a spike in the ratings. Thus, this year, the producers of the show have lifted certain restraints, allowing the young heroes to go all out in combat and they have allowed the robotic enforcers in the ring, Paladins, to also use maximum force against the kids.

DOes Tiger and Bunny count in a way?

[majingojira]

If definitely shows up in some sub plots, so I'd say it can count!

Mostly because Tiger & Bunny is fun.

Does that show get any better? I think I got up to six or seven episodes of it and I just couldn't take it anymore--all the characters annoyed the piss out of me and the gay black guy was so awful and stereotypical that I found it more torturous than entertaining.

If you don't like something after that much viewing, then it's best to not continue.

Not everyone's tastes line up, after all.

It does improve slightly, but I'd er on the side of caution.

Tiger And Bunny also had some of the cynical elements too, which I won't spoil. But overall it was a fun and idealistic series.
