The Marvelous Heroes line-up for battle with their rivals the BLA.

The Marvelous Heroes are a superhero team whose union president is Stan Wee with assistance by by Jack Curly. They are lead by Reed Righteous, also known as Mr. Fantabulous.

Their members include Fumin' Scorch, The Wisp, Great-Big Huge Man, Captain Americuss, Scrap-Iron Man, Mr. Fantabulous, Thore the God Thenthathional, Thang, Hunk, and Spider-Dan. They fight supervillains such as the Red Skeleton.

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. The Marvleous Heroes kicked the rival hero out of their headquarters, prompting the Green Trashcan to gather the BLA for battle. The two groups began to duke it out, only for their respective union presidents to arrive and tell them the strike was over, due the US President and the Comics Code declaring the strike unethical.

Notes[]

  • Some other Marvelous Heroes such as Invisibubble Girl, Scare Devil, and Tin Can as well as the villain Red Skeleton, are only mentioned by name and do not appear in Go-Go Comics.
  • The characters are an obvious spoof of The Avengers.
  • 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 enters the public domain).
