Origin[]

Captain Americuss was a patriotic member of the Marvelous Heroes superhero team.

His teammates include The Wisp, Hunk, Great-Big Huge Man, Scrap-Iron Man, Mr. Fantabulous, Thore the God Thenthathional, Fumin' Scorch, Thang, Spider-Dan, and Invisibubble Girl.

When the Green Trashcan, self-proclaimed leader of the Bestest League of America, went to meet with the Marvelous Heroes at their headquarters to discuss the superhero strike. Mr. Fantabulous attempted to be a voice of reason and prevent a conflict, but the other Marvleous Heroes kick their rival hero out of their headquarters.

Great-Big Huge Man tells Captain Americuss that they should teach Green Trashcan a lesson which he agrees and says the boss wouldn't want Green Trashcan there. It is also shown that he thinks that he should be the leader of the team instead of Mr. Fantabulous.

After being expelled, Green Trashcan gathered the BLA for battle. Before the battle began, the Captain mentions he is tired of fighting the Red Skeleton so he looked forward to fighting the BLA instead for a change. When the fight begins he punchs out the Cash.

Later, The union presidents arrive to tell the heroes the strike is over due the US President and the Comics Code declaring the strike unethical. The Captain is last shown being with the other Marvelous Heroes reprimanded by Stan Wee about fighting their competition.

Notes[]

  • The character is an obvious spoof of Captain America.
  • The Marvelous Heroes are in the public domain thanks to a lack of a proper copyright notice (any work published without one between 1923 and 1977 immediately entered the public domain).
