Captain Marvel; Billy Batson; Sivana; Steamboat; Voodoo Annie A.K.A. Showboat Mammy (Steamboat's "long-lost grandma") |
| Synopsis |
Sivana employs Voodoo Annie by paying her "cheap turnips and dime-store beads". Using her voodoo powers he makes Billy a zombie through his short wave radio and causes him to come to "Bayou Country". There he soon makes Capt. Marvel his zombie slave and forces him onto a chain gang. He exclaims, "At last I'm free to become Rightful Ruler of the Universe!". Steamboat looks for Billy and finds Voodoo Annie and learns she is his "long-lost grandma", Showboat Mammy. They work together, they free C.M from his trance, and he clobbers Sivana. All's well that ends well... |

In the title of the story, Captain Marvel's name is spelled "Capt. Marvel" as I typed it in the "Title" line.
Steamboat and Showboat Mammy were represented in a way that, though popular and acceptable at the time, would be considered racial stereotypes and inflammatory in today's world. |

Captain Marvel; Billy Batson; Professor I.Q. Putter; Carl (a Nazi spy); Adolf Hitler; Hermann Goering (unnamed); Josef Goebbels (unnamed) |
| Synopsis |
Professor I.Q. Putter creates a "World of If" machine that shows the paths the world could take by following different paths that diverge from the same point. Captain Marvel is tricked into helping Hitler and saying, "Phooey on America!" Toward the end we learn that the entire story was just a "World of If" possible path and that Captain Marvel would end up fighting Hitler and favoring America by taking either path. In the second to last panel, the "World of If" machine "Burst apart" from "the strain of...showing Captain Marvel as a Nazi, even for a few short hours!" |
