Superhero Winner Will Ride Again
Matthew Atherton, the winner of the first season of SCI FI's Who Wants to Be a Superhero? says his character Feedback will be returning to public view, reported Comics Continuum. Atherton appeared at the Phoenix Cactus Comicon this past weekend. His heroic alter ego Feedback will appear in an original movie for the SCI FI Channel, as well as appear in his own comic from Dark Horse. He hopes to appear in this coming season of WWtBaS, which will run for ten episodes. Eleven contestants will participate, and one will be eliminated per episode. Auditions for the new season run January 14 through March 17 in Philadelphia.

Atherton's winning character was a computer genius who "absorb[ed] powers and abilities from video games that he play[ed]." He also generated a feedback field (hence the name) that disrupted electronics within fifteen feet. His weaknesses included powerlines and microwaves.
