Since Super Bowl LIX is tonight I decided to remind everyone that Marvel partnered with the NFL to make a superhero in the early 90's. Phil Grayfield was a football player who's career ended when he saved a child and received a knee injury. He became a sports reporter and while trying to stop some thieves that were attempting to steal from a sports fan he was interviewing he's doused in chemicals. He dons a football themed suit and becomes a superhero.
SuperPro only appeared in 13 issues (a Super Bowl Special and 12 issue main series). The serious is notoriously bad, but has developed a cult following because of that. Recently Grayfield has returned as a coach at Peter's high school in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Since the series takes place in an alternate version of the MCU, this version of Grayfield was never a superhero.
