Kickers, Inc.

    (Marvel, 1986-1987)
™ and ©1986 Marvel Entertainment Group

The New York Smashers football team were a colorful lot: dapper wide receiver “Dasher” Corbin, powerhouse Beauford “Brick House” Wohl, the wild “Suicide” Smythe. Leading the team was quarterback Jack Magniconte.

Jack took the game seriously and was continually looking for an edge to help his playing. His brother, a sports nutritionist, had rigged up a machine called an “intensifier” which he thought might increase his strength. But this machine might have had no effect at all, had not Jack been exposed to the mysterious “White Event” which transformed Marvel’s “New Universe.” After that, Jack gained incredible speed and strength—so much so that football was no longer a challenge.

Following his brother’s death at the hands of thugs, Jack decided to gather his fellow teammates into Kickers, Inc.—and put some serious “kicking” into crimefighting.
