Comic books were huge in the early to mid 90s and every so often elements of comics made it into cards. In 1996 Topps created an insert set for Stadium Club that showed a comic style depiction of a players nick-name or persona. The set was called Megaheroes and the cards were inserted one per box or 1 in 2 boxes depending on whether it was retail or hobby. One of my favorites is of Andres Galarraga, aka The Big Cat.
As a side note, Topps also made Members Only sets that paralleled the base set and all insert sets including the Megaheroes set. They are distinguishable by a Members Only foil stamp on the front. I was tempted to use the Members Only parallel as my card of the day, but figured I would use the regular card. For those interested in the Members Only version, you can see a picture of one in the Beckett database at the link below.
