Heads up! You may recall that way back in March, I shared word of Power Comics announcement of a new Super Joe Unlimited comic coming our way.

There’s a new Kickstarter campaign aimed at bringing this fun book to the public, with a TON of awesome tiers and add-ons to sink your teeth in to! Check out the campaign details below –

Originally introduced in 1977 as “…a new team: the SUPER JOE ADVENTURE TEAM answers the call anywhere in the galaxy,” Super Joe was the amazing, but short-lived follow-up to the 12 inch G.I. Joe.

It consisted of eight different figures: Super Joe Commander (white and black); Super Joe Adventurer (white and black); The Night Fighters (Shield and Luminos); and Darkon and Gor (the enemies of the Super Joe team). Each figure came with features new to action figures at the time, the “1-2 Punch” and “light-up action”.

And, there were plenty of extras, too! A multitude of uniforms, action packs, power packs, vehicles, and “Mail In” sets were offered as well as related items like Club Memberships, posters, jewelry, and even Halloween costumes by legendary costume company Collegeville.

But, unfortunately, these wonderful action figures with their revolutionary designs and gadgets, were not enough to keep Super Joe from being honorably discharged in 1978. This incredibly promising toy line and license was quietly cancelled and relegated to “what might have been” status.

However, in 2022, 3DSuperJoes.com (the online home of the original Super Joe Adventure Team action figure and toy line) and WhiteElephantToyz.com joined forces to resurrect Super Joe with the introduction of the Super Joe Unlimited line of action figures. In addition, they have granted Power Comics the rights to create a Super Joe Unlimited comic book to give Super Joe the proper origin story and action-packed adventures it has long deserved.

Won’t you please join us and celebrate the return of Super Joe!

The year is 2100, and the world has been at peace for decades due to the success of the previous generation’s superheroes. These mightiest of Earth’s mortals achieved what no other generation could; decades-long peace and harmony amongst all it’s people.

That time of peace and harmony was so successful that superheroes became obsolete; a thing of the past, resigned to the subject of bedtime stories parents tell their children at night. As the world’s greatest super heroes grew old, retired, and passed away, there were no new superheroes coming up to take their place. There was simply no need.

But nothing lasts forever. We all know that the universe abhors a vacuum, and one fateful day the peace and tranquility that humankind had grown so accustomed to was shattered.

Out of nowhere emerged Darkon, a creature of unknown origin leading an army of summoned monsters called Gors. Darkon and his Gor army attacked the peaceful people of Earth. Civilians, police and the military forces of Earth rose up in defense, but years of peace and the unprecedented power of this invasion rendered the defenders nearly powerless.

While the defenders of Earth tried to hold back Darkon’s army, the world’s greatest minds gathered in a desperate attempt to understand the attackers, and figure out how to save humanity. No consensus could be reached as to what the attackers really were; transformed humans? Demons? Aliens? Something else? Evidence for and against each explanation was produced to no final agreement.

While the nature of the attackers was unclear, what was clear was Earth was losing this battle. So desperate was the situation that one scientist was forced to speak up and reveal a deep secret that might present a solution. He revealed a secret project he ran years before, not sponsored or sanctioned by any government.

The project was a study in the nature of the superheroes of old; the genetic markers in humanity that could lead to the development of super powers, and the environmental factors that would drive such development. Using carefully-hoarded samples of superhero blood, and samples of the general population, the team was able to find the links, isolate them, and use them to create first clones of famous super heroes of the past, and with later refinements, a new generation of super heroes with even more versatile powers and intelligence. The Super Joe project, as it was code-named, had created a small army of superior clones; an entire army of Super Joes.

While the scientist and others on the Super Joe project team felt they had achieved success, they also had strong ethical concerns about what they had done, as well as concerns about potential safety risks to the non-enhanced populace. This caused the team to place the Super Joes into cryogenic suspension, where they remained until now, held in reserve in case of an insurmountable threat to the people of Earth.

Now, with the armies of Darkon threatening the remaining free nations of Earth, the scientist revealed the secret Super Joe army, realizing that only they could turn the tide of this war. The Super Joes would now be awoken and called upon to save the world. Their time had arrived!
