The first such comicbook fireball that comes to mind is the superpower-granting ball of light from Rising Stars
As it turns out, it was probably just a meteor... according to MeteorShowersOnline.com (is the internet not awesome?) the Earth passes through a meteor orbit causing a meteor shower called the Gamma Virginids during the period of April 5 to 21 every year. Which is not to say it still couldn't give you super-powers
feel free to read the CNN post about the fireball here.

That would be freaky (and awesome in retrospect).
I remember driving back to Vermont with my wife one night and we saw a massive green fireball dropping down on what was probably northern Canada.
It was so big we actually held hands just in case it was a Dinosaur Killer.
Then, we felt a bit silly, but it was really big and really green.
Also, it's a same about Meteor Man (shaking head). But, it's always fun to see James Earl Jones get all 'hip'.
your reaction to the meteor (or whatever it was) is probably the same one I would have...
I have nothing at all to say about meteor man... LOL!
