Why there will NEVER EVER be another NFL SuperPro Comic.

[Leebenhouse]

Okay, As soon as I heard that Kirkman had planned to use SuperPro in the "League of Losers" storyline in MTU, I wondered more about the character, aside from his lameness, and I picked up most of his series on eBay for pennies. As I looked at the first issue, I noticed that Superpro and all characters were property of the NFL.

Now, unless the NFL licenses another comic, there will never, ever, be another NFL SuperPro comic. Marvel will never buy the character from the NFL, and the NFL has no interest in having a comic published, which would cost Marvel money to use the character anyways.

So folks, unless you write Marvel and the NFL en-masse you will NEVER see this guy again.

Oh wait...I meant to say:

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Young Avenger]

That's a shame. I liked him for his lameness.

Ok everyone you know what needs to be done! Get out your hammers and start breaking your fingers pronto.

Of course that can't stop them from doing a "Burried Alien" or even a Hyperion deal with the guy.

[StoneGold]

It's a lot of effort to go through for what is going to basically be a joke that 7 people get.

[drwho]

never say never. How to get around it.

Spiderman: Hey werent you that guy that used to love football
NflSuperpro: Yes that was me but I had to change my identity to save my loved ones. Now you can call me the Proballer.

Simple and show him in armor similar to superpro armor.

[Serik]

SuperPro: you will be missed.

*salute* as Taps plays.

[Angel of Death]

Why doesn't someone on here offere the NFL like thirty bucks for the ownership of NFL SuperPro and then donate it to Marvel?

Very true.

Spaceknights Miniseries anyone?

ROM who? No ROM in this book!

[Haunt]

NFL Superpro should be publicly executed.

[Elegance Liberty]

I'm showing my age here, but... who is NFL Superpro?

[riotgear]

NFL Superpro should be publicly executed.

I'd settle for privately executed. ;)

[shaunyc56]

I saw as Superpro, Darkhawk, Sleepwalker team up against the mole man. The twist is they take over the underground and mole man has to battle them to the death for the reclamation of his throne.

lol @ Proballer. Hey, that might actually work!

Or, he could drop the 'NFL' and just be SuperPro.

if he ever decides to become a villain instead, I can see them call him "Ol Pigskin."

publicly would better help ensure that there aren't any repeats of this. gawd, professional sport-related characters suck! just imagine if there were a Golf-Man, Shotput-Lass, or Triathlon! *shudder*

[MarcWagz]

"Hey golfer, golfer! Go on! Put! Put golfer! Go on and put!"

[Lex]

Oh so that's why he didn't show up in the League of Losers story. Makes sense, but it's a little sad.

Just think if other sports had themed superheroes...

MLB Batter!!! After being hit in the head with a battery during a rain delayed baseball game, Yamaguchi Tanaka gains EXTREME ninja skils with a bat and ball. He also has the often hidden ability to cause eathquakes with a singe crotch scratch, and acidic chaw spit. Not to mention his "glove of justice", which mystically will attract any ball he throws. "That's a triple play for justice!!!"

Framed for a crime he never commited, Lionel Forester uses his extreme golf skils to fight crime and prove his innocence as...The PGA EagleSwinger!!! Carry's a golf bag loaded with trick balls and clubs. Wears golf clothes with a tiny golden eagle stiched on a blue polo shirt. "Mulligan!!! I'll never catch those thieves!!!"

NHL UltraSkater!!! Upon recieiving drinking maple syrup from the Stanley Cup , Sven Jargleson, crippled Scandanavian hockey player, gains the ability to become the godlike NHL Ultraskater when he slams his broken hockeystick against the ground. Wear's a 70's hockey mask and basically a hockey themed Thor. "Verily base villain!!! Prepare to get pucked up!!!"

After recieving a miracle cure for herpes caught from sleeping with too many groupies behind his wife's back, Leonard Freeman gained the ability to grow to great heights, leap over buildings with a single bound, and an ability to trash talk like no other, as well as immunity to all known terrestrial STDs!!! He used these abilities to become... NBA Dunkman!!! "Those bad guys are about to get dunked! Then I'm goin home with their sisters!"

Their Arch-Nemesis...

The Footballer!!! After all, no red blooded American likes that damn low scoring soccer game!!! And his henchmen, the Hooligans!!! "I'm going to give you the red card heroes... for good!!!"
