Great Moments In NFL Marketing
This image was lost some time after publication. Some guy with a comic book blog went digging through some of his old files — or "nerd containers," as some might call them — and unearthed a bit of a gem: The "NFL SuperPro" character, from a Marvel Comics series in 1991.
What's this guy's special powers? Uh ... well, we're not quite sure, except that SuperPro is a former NFL player who jumps around fighting crime while wearing the NFL logo. (He even runs into Spider-Man while he's at it.) Here's our favorite quote:
Bad Guy: Okay, okay, I give! SuperPro: No ... you received. A pounding, that is.
Totally! We're not sure who the NFL marketing wizards who masterminded this idea were, but we have a feeling they don't work for the league anymore.
