Tobin Heath Soccer Superhero, Skateboarder?

I don’t know if Portland Thorns midfielder Tobin Heath is actually a skateboarder or not. These illustrations come from a collaboration with Dark Horse comics and the Thorns front office designed to sell some t-shirts, scarves, and patches. I suspect it was just an easy way for Dark Horse to conjure a loose (or lazy) association with the Silver Surfer in The illusions and energy manipulation of Tobin. I do know that Tobin has mad soccer skills, and plays for the best women’s team in the world. Both of them, actually. Women’s World Cup is coming this summer.

  1. Patches, you say? Oh. Dye sub. Ew. 😛

    1. Yeah, right? It looks like they applied die sub on top of embroidery. I didn’t know that was a thing.

  2. She also just shot a commercial at Commonwealth Skatepark for FoxSports… don’t know when it’s going ot come out but something with skateboarders around here etc . I didn’t actually see anything live action but i had to let them in at 5am to shoot

    1. I found out about that in advance through Timbers/Thorns contacts that knew I was a skateboarder. The info was vague and I had had something else to do so I couldn’t make it.
