SheZow

This is a pretty good show with an interesting premise about a boy who can wear a ring that his aunt previously owned which in turn is able to turn him into a superhero however the catch is that since it was his aunt's powers before he is thus a female superhero named SheZow even though he's a guy (which is funny since at first I initially thought Guy would become female once he transformed but honestly once you watch it the other way around makes more sense).

Another reason why I think SheZow is a unique superhero is because of how her powers work and that there are rules that the wearer must abide by, though some of the powers themselves aren't really original the equipment however is what really makes SheZow shine since its (mostly) all weapons I've never seen a superhero use before.

The characters (well at least the main ones) were entertaining, Guy himself is a decent protagonist but still fun to watch, his sister Kelly was a little naggy but still enjoyable as well, Maz was entertaining and felt like someone I'd want to hangout with and I especially like how he wore different outfits each time he was with Guy (though some of them were pretty average). The villians were dogwater except for a few of them like Mega Monkey, Tattoozala, and Dr. Frankenweather (though admittedly I also kinda liked Candy Rapper).

There are also some references that I noticed like CatDog in that weird dream episode, a scene from episode 13 which reminded me of an episode from early Spongebob, and the episode that referenced Stan Lee's catchphrase "Excelsior" which made me like SheZow even more.

The animation was decent and could've been better at times but if anything I felt like some of the action was lackluster I mean come on it's a superhero show. The toilet humor is another thing I wasn't a fan of.

Overall SheZow is a good cartoon and its a darn a shame it only got 26 episodes, maybe if it was picked up by a big children's network like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon it probably would've had a chance of sticking around a little while longer. Personally I think SheZow should have been on Nickelodeon since CN already had a lot of quality shows during that time.
