Evildoers, beware. A second season of justice is coming your way.

Dust off your cape and pull out your Roget's. "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" will be back to find that undiscovered crimefighter with a memorable image, unusual powers and a hyperbolic turn of phrase.

The Sci Fi Channel has renewed the hit reality series starring the legendary Stan "The Man" Lee for a second season. The show, produced by Bruce Nash's Nash Entertainment and Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment, will be expanded to 10 hour-long episodes.

"After all these years as a writer, I never thought I'd be on the other side of the camera starring in a far-out TV series", says Lee in a statement. "But, now that I've had a taste of it, there's no stoppin' me! And here's a confession: While we were having a ton of fun with our first season's episodes, we kept saying things like, 'What a shame we don't have time to add this zany idea or that outrageous gimmick.' Well, now we've got the time! The great guys at the Sci Fi Channel have unleashed us to cook up ten new, wilder-than-ever episodes. So, Heroes, hang on to your Spandex , 'cause the best is yet to come!"

On the show, Lee selected a lucky few from thousands of hopefuls who created their own superhero alter egos -- from designing their own costumes to dreaming up a specific attitude and point of view. The chosen ones then live together in a secret lair and compete in challenges to test their mettle and demonstrate that they have the necessary virtues to be a superhero. The first season saw the wannabe heroes facing off against a supervillain, braving towering heights and attack dogs and coming to terms with the dark secrets in their past.

"The next season of Superhero promises to be even more exciting than the first. Expect bigger and more thrilling challenges, and more unexpected twists and turns this season," promises Executive Producer Nash.

In the end, Matthew Atherton, aka Feedback, was declared the winner and thus will be immortalized in his very own Dark Horse comic book created by Lee.

"'Who Wants To Be A Superhero?' was a success for us on many levels last summer," says Sci Fi's Executive Vice President Mark Stern. "The show garnered great reviews, attracted a record-breaking number of younger viewers to the Channel, and held its own against some very stiff competition on Thursday nights."

The show averaged a 1.1 household rating and increased the number of 18-49 viewers by 74 percent. Those under 18 tuned in as well, with 30 percent making up the total viewers. Overall, the show brought 2.9 million new viewers to the channel.

The second season is scheduled to air next summer.
