Thanks, I remembered the toy but couldn't remember his name. Wasn't there also a figure based on the American Footballer the Fridge?
Sure was. His weapon of choice? A weird flail/whip weapon straight out of Castlevania, but with the "head" of the weapon shaped to look like a football.

QUICK KICK (Karl Moore)
Created By:
Fabian Nicieza & Jose Delbo
First Appearance: NFL Superpro #2 (Nov. 1991)
Role: Ex-Partner Turned Villain

-Quick Kick was a short-lived personal nemesis of SuperPro- an old football teammate, Karl Moore was obsessed with being the best, and had a personal rivalry with Phil "SuperPro" Grayfield from their playing days- this being a parallel universe where black athletes aspire to be as good as their white teammates.
Yeah, anyone that knows me knows I don't care much for stereotypes, toxic/regressive SJW nonsense, and so on . . . but if you HAD to make a football themed hero and where actually going to give half a rats ass, why not make him black? Add some more diversity to the universe, maybe force someone to write the book well, be a positive sports role model, etc.

Then again, I wouldn't wish being NFL Superpro on anyone of any race, but still.

Hell, why not go whole hog and have a whole ProStars style team of superheroes themed around different sports. Go really sterotypical, make the golf guy wear a kilt, have read hair and talk with a thick Scottish accent. Make the hockey player put "eh" at the end of every sentence. Make the wrestler act like the Ultimate Warrior.

-Instant Replay, THE KILLER WHO CAN CUT THROUGH TIME, is announced by Marco Sanzionare in SuperPro #2, boasting about him being "The killer who can CUT THROUGH TIME!". Appearing in one of the most generic "Spy Suit" outfits in history, his gimmick is that he can time-travel short distances, which basically just looks like teleportation. This allowed him to get the jump on SuperPro a couple of times, but the hero very quickly overcame Instant Replay, THE KILLER WHO CAN CUT THROUGH TIME, when the villain overdid the same move too many times, SuperPro anticipated it, and threw him into some electrical equipment. The resulting explosion short-circuited his armor and tossed him through time with an agonized scream.

-Instant Replay, THE KILLER WHO CAN CUT THROUGH TIME, actually appeared one more time, having been driven to insanity after being merged with his suit. Now able to form doubles of himself thanks to timestream shenanigans, he surrounds SuperPro, but is against tossed into something, this time causing him to explode.

-This guy is so ridiculous. First off, his name is a pun on sports. Second... he's a Jobber Villain... whose power is TIME TRAVEL. And he uses it to commit low-graded ASSASSINATIONS? Like, Looten Plunder's shittier cousin can afford this guy? Where in the hell did he get that outfit? The guys who carry TIME MACHINES on them are people like Doctor Doom, Thanos and Cable- not low-grade douchenozzles like this dude. This makes no sense.

-Despite being a Time Traveller, Instant Replay, THE KILLER WHO CAN CUT THROUGH TIME, is a jobber, unable to even defeat SuperPro in repeated chances, and that's WITH the powerful Summon ability showcased in his final appearance!

Yeah, I LOVE comics, but a random assassin having access to a time travel teleport suit is just . . . what?! I mean, at the very least, have it being loaned to him by some other science big wig where he tests it as some kind of super prototype. This goes way beyond Weather Wizard lucking into a weather control device and using it to rob banks.

I did like the name Instant Replay tho. And I love the constant including his tag line (which is pretty cool as far as tag lines go) every time his name is mentioned made me chuckle.

It might well speak more to the state of superhero universes as a whole that having time travel just or a weather control device isn't that big a deal if robbing banks or being a random hit man really is the best that those criminals can manage. A setting that really explored the implications of that would be an interesting thought experiment, though maybe not one I'd regularly read.

GI Joe was all over the place when it came to sports: two American football guys, a baseball guy, wrestler, they had intended to have Rocky be a part of the team, a basketball guy... I don't remember any hockey guys.

Nick had a superhero lite show for a few seasons call NFL Rush Zone. I never saw anything but commercials for it.

Sports and sports personalities are a popular resource for superhero concepts for some reason. It even bled into Doctor Who over here with Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor adopting a whole cricket-based motif.

-These guys are a band of one-shot losers who appeared in one SuperPro issue, gaining stupid super-powers as a result of some kind of energy ray. At least they're SUPPOSED to be jokes, but wow, are these guys terrible.

-The Calculator is an Asian dude who's an actuary (I only know what that is because of Kim Possible), predicting risks in various ventures. His power is actually hilariously-similar to Amadeus Cho's (is Greg Pak a closet SuperPro fan?), and BOTH of them are Koreans! He's basically got Cho Lite powers, giving him boosted fighting ability, because he can guess the dangers of certain movements.
