Here's what Bob had to say about it:
"A friend found these old colouring contest sheets for Canadian Tire (you may or may not know Canadian Tire, there's not really an American equivalent from what I understand, maybe Pep Boys meets Sears?). The other side has Care Bears, and another sheet has Cabbage Patch Kids and Sectaurs(!)."
Sectaurs?? Ah yes, I remember that merchandising juggernaut. I wonder what the "surprise free gift" was?
I appreciate whatever anonymous designer put this together bothered to include Aquaman, especially since they don't even have him engaging in a fight with a villain, like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are doing. If only Kenner had produced a Black Manta for the Super Powers line...
Anyway, I love seeing really weird and/or rare stuff like this--thanks again Bob, and welcome to F.O.A.M.!

I've never seen Darkseid with a D on his chest before.
I remember these and colored some in for their FREE SURPRISE GIFT! Which sucked. It was a fake hot wheels dinky car and I was expecting whatever the heck I had colored. I know I colored the SECTAURS page and was all excited to get free Sectaurs toys. Imagine my disappointment.
Looks like Aquaman is sliding into home. . .
I know the sales rep for Kenner Canada around that time, he did a ton of gas station promos for the super powers as well.
"Fill up and get a free SuperPowers figure!" seriously....
