Review/plot:
The final issue of NFL Superpro doesn't have anything as good as a surprise appearance by the Constrictor, but it does use Marvel's evil oil company, Roxxon, and it features a return of the environmental soccer player from issue #7 as a super-character. And it actually has a pretty good premise. Superpro paid some lip service to environmentalism in issue #7, but he hasn't done anything about it since then. Meanwhile, the soccer player, Claudio Juarez, got attacked by another assassin, who killed his girlfriend. But Claudio managed to overpower the assassin and take his armored suit, and he's since become a super-vigilante named Repulsor, focusing on righting environmental wrongs, but more violently than what we expect from our super-heroes (well, at least the ones that aren't in the Punisher category).

Repulsor eventually makes his way to America to target Roxxon.

Superpro is busy trying to get footage of himself on television.

The interesting bit is that after the lip service that Superpro gave, Repulsor thinks that he'll share his goals.

But Superpro has to disabuse him of that.

Superpro punches Repulsor in the face a lot, and then gives some more lipservice about the environment. Maybe he goes home and recycles some cans and bottles after this, i don't know.

But maybe he should save those cans and bottles to sell at the salvage yard, because he's unemployed after this.
