(NFL SuperPro Special Edition#1) - Ken went with Phil to the Giants Stadium to film something for Sports Inside. When Phil brought up that SuperPro foiled a chemical smuggling ring last night, Ken told him that it was funny how SuperPro was always around when they were in a city. He was surprised that Phil knew Ron Macedon and thought that he was probably Phil's source. Ken then took some pick-up shots while Phil and Macedon had a conversation.

  Later outside the stadium at the Sports Inside van Ken and Phil saw Carl Bennings, an overpowered rookie, taking a package from a strange guy. They followed the guy and after Phil found out his name, Ken used his computer at the Meadowlands Sheraton Hotel to find out more about this guy. When Phil left the hotel to find out more facts about Morrison, Ken started his personal investigations on Phil Grayfield.

  Ken and Phil talked about finding more incriminating material on Morrison after Phil had returned to the hotel, but Ken wanted to talk with Phil about something else first. He gave Phil an envelope with some photoreferencing he did on SuperPro and Phil. Ken knew that Phil was SuperPro and now wanted to know his whole story. Phil told him his origin and Ken decided to help Phil break apart the steroid ring. He showed Phil how Carl Bennings had changed since High School and the information on Bennings' long history with Morrison and JAKOBS.

  The next morning Ken and his camera joined Phil when he confronted Morrison, who told them everything including that Bennings was going to take the last stage of the drug an half hour before the game.

They got beaten up by SuperPro until Ken blocked his way with the van to give the Eagles Gang the chance to get away. Ken still kept it a secret that his nephew was one of the Eagles Gang.

When Phil didn't return Ken decided to call help and ran away, but he was seen. Phil as SuperPro stopped him and brought him out of sight. Ken and SuperPro then went to the mansion nearby to call the cops, but there they also found the bad guys and the losers from the camp, who gained superpowers from Carragone's process. Ken watched the fight and thought it was funny when the Happy Campers wished to become SuperPro's partners.

(NFL SuperPro#11) - Jane Dixon and Ken Reid attended SuperPro's charity game against the Gulls.
