Guest The Masked Yodeler Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 Does anyone else remember this guy? He was a generic hero who was former football player, and wore a football suit for his hero-ing. He had one of the worst origin stories ever too, he was in a photolab in a burning building, and the burning fumes gave him super strength/speed invulnerablity, etc.
Guest gthureson Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 Never heard of him. The burning fumes of a photolab, huh? Woulda figured it'd give him something more like photographic memory or something. Whose book was he in?
Guest The Masked Yodeler Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 He had his own series on Marvel. In fact, the first issue had a special appearence by none other than Spiderman. My guess is Marvel paid a pretty penny for the NFL license and wanted to make sure that they got a return on it. It was futile though as, as far as I know, NFL Superpro only ran 12 issues, plus a one-shot origin story.

Guest Zack Malibu Posted February 13, 2002 Report Posted February 13, 2002 I remember this comic. I actually have the whole run of it, because when I was young I had a subscription to virtually every Marvel Comic. I also remember that he had a sidekick,his cameraman or something, and an enemy named Instant Replay. Now I'm gonna have to go digging for these. They're probably behind my stack of BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT COMIC BOOK ADVENTURE.
Guest Cameron Chaos Posted February 14, 2002 Report Posted February 14, 2002 He was good, but he wasn't Dogwelder.
Guest gthureson Posted February 14, 2002 Report Posted February 14, 2002 "Aaiiiihhhh! Someone get him off! He's WELDING A DOG TO MY FACE!" Thats up there with the Catsignal.
Guest The Masked Yodeler Posted February 14, 2002 Report Posted February 14, 2002 Dogwelder? I fear the answer, yet I must know.
Guest gthureson Posted February 14, 2002 Report Posted February 14, 2002 Part of Six-Packs old crimefighting team that he put back together to help Tommy in Hitman. My favorite was Bueno Excellente. "He uses the powers of perversion to fight evil." You fill in the blanks.

Guest areacode212 Posted February 14, 2002 Report Posted February 14, 2002 "Bueno.........." LOL. He was the greatest, and I loved the way Garth always forced you to use your imagination to figure out what exactly this guy's powers were.
