Superheroes in the Super Bowl?

January 31st, 2007
Author JK Parkin

The Chicago Tribune’s Redeye magazine takes a look at the Super Bowl-bound Chicago Bears in a somewhat different light:

They come not to save the world, but to win a world championship. From the Halas Hall of Just-Us, three heroes with almost superhuman abilities lead their team on a final mission: to win a Super Bowl.

RedEye presents Chicago artist Mitch O’Connell’s superstyled illustration, with our own profiles. But pressing questions loom for these comic-book Bears: Can they focus their powers? Who will rise up to stop the Colts of Ind-Evil-Apolis? Does this spandex make them look fat? And who is this mysterious blue creature leading Indy?

A PDF of the print version of Redeye, which features a poster of the Bears in hero garb, can be found here.

    I just can not wait to watch the super bowl in a couple weeks. I expect the Stealers will probably win.
