FUN FACTS
Notice the similarity
between the names Billy Baxton and Billy
Batson.
It's interesting how Carl
Burgos blended the origins of the original Human Torch
and Captain Marvel to come up with this new and unique
vision.
Roger Winkle, professor of
archaeology at Dartmoor College and a robot, has but to
utter the word "Split" and his various
body parts separate.
Roger was sent to Earth to promote and
preserve peace. When Roger becomes Captain Marvel by
saying "Split", his various body parts dis-joint but
are still under his mental control. When Captain Marvel
says "Xam" the various body parts re-link. As Captain
Marvel, Roger wears a uniform that includes jet boots
and an amulet which energizes him. If his amulet is
removed, he becomes immobile after a short while. His other
weakness is that he cannot control his other body parts
if glass comes between them and his head.
Roger takes young Billy
Baxton as his ward and confidant. Roger's platonic girlfriend is Linda
Knowles, daughter of the president of the college.
