Kickers, Inc.
''Kickers, Inc.'' was a twelve-issue comic book series published by Marvel Comics from 1986 to 1987 as part of the New Universe imprint. Created by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, the series featured a group of former professional American football players for the fictional New York Smashers team who became a group of heroes for hire, calling themselves "Kickers Inc." They were led by Jack Magniconte, a Smashers player who gained super-human strength and endurance from a combination of exposure to radiation from the "White Event" and an experimental muscle-enhancing device.
==Publication history==
Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz created the series, then titled "Mr. Magnificent and his Team Supreme", for the New Universe line before the concept of the New Universe itself had been fleshed out. Frenz explained,
DeFalco and Frenz modified the series according to the New Universe premise, but ''Kickers, Inc.'' still did not fit well within the New Universe's stated editorial goal of being more grounded in realism than the regular Marvel Comics Universe, its stories, characters and concepts being recognizably based on standard superhero tropes. The series also suffered from creative instability to an even greater extent than the rest of the 1986-87 New Universe lineup, with nearly every issue being produced by a different creative team. DeFalco himself lost interest early on;〔 half of issue #3 and all of issues #4 and 5 were scripted by guest writers over DeFalco's plots, and by issue #6 neither he nor Frenz were involved with ''Kickers, Inc.'' at all. It was canceled with issue #12, along with other New Universe comics such as ''Nightmask'' and ''Merc'', though Jack Magniconte continued to make occasional appearances in the remaining New Universe titles.
Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz had previously teamed up on ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' and would later work together on ''Thor'' as well as DeFalco's MC2 titles.
