Origin[]

His teammates included Fumin' Scorch, The Wisp, Great-Big Huge Man, Captain Americuss, Mr. Fantabulous, Thore the God Thenthathional, Thang, Hunk, Spider-Dan, and Invisibubble Girl. They fight supervillains such as the Red Skeleton.
The Green Trashcan, self-proclaimed leader of the Bestest League of America, goes to meet with the Marvelous Heroes at their headquarters to discuss the superhero strike. The Marvleous Heroes kick their rival hero out of their headquarters prompting the Green Trashcan to gather the BLA for battle. When the battle begins Scrap-Iron Man is seen being punched by Martian Manhandler.
However just as the two groups began to battle it out, their respective union presidents arrived to tell them the strike is over due the US President and the Comics Code declaring the strike unethical.

Notes[]
- A hero named Tin Can is only mentioned by name in issue 5 but does not appear in either issue. It is possible this was original name for Scrap-Iron Man.
- The characters are an obvious spoof of Iron Man.
- 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).
