HOTW- Captain Marvel (MF)

 

FROM WIKI-  Captain Marvel was a jet-booted and laser-eyed alien android powered by an "M"-emblemed medallion who had been sent to Earth by his creators to escape the atomic destruction of their war-ravaged planet.^[4]  Vowing to protect the peace of his new home, the self-proclaimed "Human Robot" took the secret identity of journalist turned Dartmoor University professor Roger Winkle in the city of Riverview, USA^[5] where he lived with his young ward Billy Baxton, the first person he met when he arrived on Earth and the only one who knew his true origins.^[4][6]

It makes me laugh to add MF after this second hero called Captain Marvel.  It means Myron Fass, who published six issues before being threatened with legal action.  Carl Burgos created this her0, another android like his Human Torch, but this time made him nearly invincible.  And yet had ridiculous weaknesses.  He had to touch the "M" on his chest to make sure he retained his memory.  The whole "split" thing was silly as well.

The idea of an alien android helping humanity is a good one, but the execution here was flawed.  None of the current Captains Marvel have yelled "split" once, but perhaps someone will do it in the upcoming Marvels movie.
