There’s a reason the guy on the cover to issue #1 looks a lot like Robert Townsend.

This comic spun off the 1993 Meteor Man movie. The title character would never appear in any other Marvel Comic, but Night Thrasher, Spider-Man and some Guardsmen appear in the comic.

I think Marvel just used some 616 characters to help sell it.
