New England Patriots fans already consider Tom Brady a superhero, but now he’s literally being turned into a superhero for a comic book series.
The Boston Herald reported that the 3x Super Bowl champion, whose Boston penthouse is for rent, is getting drawn up as a superhero for the “Quarterback Series” of Athlitacomics.
CEO of the comic book company and former NFL defensive end Israel Idonije is launching the series, which will feature Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Andrew Luck as crime-fighting superheroes.

Idonije, as the New York Times reported, fixated on comic books as a child to adjust to his move from Nigeria to Manitoba, Canada. He plans to create storylines for real-life athletes from all four major professional sports and feature them in comic books and related merchandise. His company is licensed by the NFL Players Association.
If Brady were to participate in the series, a percentage of the proceeds from his image would be donated to a charity of the pigskin slinger’s choice.
