We Spend Five Minutes With The “Who Wants To Be A Superhero” Superhero

Just after interviewing E. Quincy Sloan, I got the rare privilege of meeting TyVeculus as well. TyVeculus is one of the superheros featured on Stan Lee’s Sci-Fi reality series, “Who Wants To Be A Superhero”. Ty is larger than life. He demonstrated some of his powers to me… I never saw a guy move so fast. I showed him a pair of 2 pood (about 70 lbs.) kettlebells. He said, “Wow, these are cute!”, and to my amazement, he began to juggle them. Jeff Martone would be proud! As we talked, I found him to be very passionate about his opinions on justice and righteousness.

Just after the interview and as we were wrapping it up, several police cars sped by on the road just outside the Starbucks we were in, in pursuit of one of those “bigfoot” type monster-trucks. Ty politely excused himself and bolted out the door before I could say goodbye. A few minutes later, as I was driving home, I saw the same truck now on it’s side, surrounded by the police cars. The driver of the truck was already in the back of one of the squad cars. The officers were looking around the whole area and inspecting the crippled truck. TyVeculus was nowhere to be seen. The cops obviously looked confused… but I know who stopped that truck. Too bad he didn’t get to finish his Orange Mocha Frappuccino.

We hope you enjoy the conversation as we spend five minutes with TyVeculus…

We Spend Five Minutes With The “Who Wants To Be A Superhero” Star

We met at 6 AM before his workout. In fact, we had such a good time talking about the show, his goals, etc. that I suspect we ate up all the time he had set aside for his workout! Sorry, Quincy! I have to say, Quincy Sloan is one of the sincerest and nicest guys I have met in quite a while. As the captain of the local fire department, Quincy is a real-life hero with the strength of character of his comic book counterpart Ty’Veculus. Sit back and relax as we spend five minutes with E. Quincy Sloan…

Kettlebell.com: Today, we’re speaking with E. Quincy Sloan, one of the stars of the new Stan Lee reality television series, “Who Wants To Be A Superhero”, in which the winner of the show will get to see his or her superhero character featured in their own comic book by Dark Horse Comics, as well as in a Sci-Fi original movie. Quincy, thanks for taking some time out of your schedule to talk with us. Tell us a little about your superhero alter-ego, TyVeculus. What are his strengths, weaknesses, and so on?

Quincy Sloan: Ty’Veculus means protection and strength. His powers are unimaginable strength, great speed via perpetual portals, he is invulnerable to fire, and has the ability to hear the truth of the heart. TyVeculus comes from a strong heritage of integrity dating back 1800 years ago when a Roman General named Ti’Metheus and a female Ethiopian captive named Luna got busy. After years of refining, Nathanial, who is an alien from another world called Alloriax, perfects a metabolic technology that is based specifically on Ty’Veculus’s genes, in order to stop his sister Omexsis and the “Common Ones” from destroying the earth. Ty’s weakness is tied to his integrity… he has to make good moral choices or else his power weakens.

Kettlebell.com: We’re only into the second episode of the season. How has this new TV show affected your life so far?

E. Quincy Sloan: I’ve been given other opportunities to expand my character, which most likely would not have been possible without the exposure on the show.

Kettlebell.com: Have people begun to recognize you on the street? How are you handling this new fame?

E. Quincy Sloan: Not really. I try to stay humble and keep things in the proper perspective.

Kettlebell.com: That’s an excellent attitude. Enjoy your current anonymity… a few more episodes and people will begin to whisper to each other, “Hey, isn’t that that superhero guy?” So, anyway, how did you come up with your character, TyVeculus?
