THE DEFUSER WINS WHO WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO?

Austin, Texas police detective Jarrett Crippen was declared the winner of Season 2 of Who Wants to be a Superhero? on SciFi Channel on Thursday night.

Star and judge Stan Lee chose Crippen's alter ego The Defuser in the season finale. The Defuser will be immortalized in his very own comic to be written by Lee and published by Dark Horse Comics, and Shocker Toys will create an action figure of the character. The Defuser will also get to appear in a Sci Fi original movie.

"Most kids grow up reading comic books and dreaming about being a superhero. It's taken 38 years, but I'm living that dream," Crippen said. "I can't express how this experience has changed my life for the better. The only word that comes to mind is... incredible!"

Inspired by Batman and Captain America, Crippen created his character when he was a young boy. The Defuser is a loner and expert at gadgetry and invention. He performs at 110 percent possessing enhanced speed, strength agility, reflexes, hearing and eyesight.

"I congratulate The Defuser on his well-deserved victory," Lee said. "He truly lived up to his superhero powers with his laudable performance throughout the series. He demonstrated all of the characteristics of a true hero and will be a terrific role model for kids."
