Yesterday, we reported that three Marvel Comics artists were producing some special artwork featuring Tim Tebow for ESPN. Today, the video of an ESPN Sportscenter segment featuring the Tim Tebow art has been posted online. The video features a voiceover by Chris Berman that includes lots of superhero comparisons when describing Tim Tebow.At the beginning of the video, a close-up of Tim Tebow snarling has a Hulk-type roaring sound effect. Then, the logo “Super Tim” flashes across the screen. In the video, Berman describes Tebow as “someone the underworld despised” and “wearing the revered shield of the NFL.” Berman goes on with some more superhero language by saying “his legs like a locomotive” and “his passion an armored suit.” Bergman wraps up with, “Super Tim, a humble superhero, with his team in trouble, don’t worry he’ll show up, however late in the game it may be.”It’s interesting that all the Superman comparisons were done, since he’s a DC Comics superhero. However, it looks like plenty of Marvel Comics superhero comparisons were worked in as well. The early roar was reminiscent of the Hulk, while the “revered shield” draws comparison to Captain America’s shield, and the “armored suit” refers to Iron Man.
