Captain Marvel only had six letters to deal with. (And, no, they weren’t M-A-R-V-E-L.) A bonus point to anyone who can tell me what letters they were! And if anyone can say what they stood for, it’s an automatic “A”!

T…for TIGER, ferocity of!
U…for UNDERWEAR, red!
P…for POWER, incredible!
E…for EXCELLENT physique!
N…for NEVER backing down!
D…for DETERMINATION!
O…for OPPONENT OF OPPRESSION!*
U…for UNIQUE fighting skills!
S…for SAVING the day!
*He actually refers to himself this way in earlier Stupendous Man strips

I believe a psychiatrist would be necessary for the likes of Calvin.

If Ms Wormwood doesn’t grasp why Calvin or any child would pretend to be a superhero, she’s the one who needs a psychologist, not Calvin.
