The Morning Zang: Tim Tebow is now on par with Superman
January 5, 2012. 9:05 am
Add Marvel comics to the list of corporations to boycott.
Caught up in the hype surrounding Tim Tebow, aka the Mile High Messiah, aka the Greatest Christian Ever (including Jesus) aka the Most Overrated Quarterback since Ryan Leaf, Marvel Comics has decided to give the Denver Broncos quarterback his own comic book.
He’s not the first NFLer to be turned into a toon, but he’s got to be the most annoying one.
As With Leather put it, Tebow’s super power must be “The ability to go 6-for-16 through 3 quarters and somehow pull a win out of his ass once he summons his magical pet kicker to boot a few 55-yarders.
“Like the Marvel heroes who pull off last minute victories, Tim Tebow has fans around the world on the edge of their seats and believing that in our own lives when time is running out and all looks lost, we can dig deep inside and use our various strengths to triumph over insurmountable odds” Bill Rosemann of Marvel told the 96. 1 KISS Morning Freak Show.

Some superhero, Marvel.
Though, if I did, I'd feel good about gambling on New England next weekend!
That makes him heir to the Superman curse (George Reeves' suicide, Chris Reeve's paralyzing accident, etc.) 
And I think George Reeves was murdered.
