I remember those little balls witht the velcro strips on them but can't recall what the other part was. Don't think it was anything superhero.

I THINK it was a generic red on yellow target.

I find the slogan at the bottom funny, considering how much it hurt to get hit with one of them balls. The velcro strips acted like spikes.

These also had a penchant for loosing their stick. I remember after a while the velcro'ed balls would just bounce off the target.

Yeah.
They would get so much crap stuck to them, that they wouldn't stick to the target anymore.

I had that Spider-Man "target game." I've not thought of it in years.

I had a Superman target game like this from the 90s. It was Supes vs. dinosaurs! I hung it in my college dorm room.

That Superman puppet sounds familiar. Any pics?
