Origin[]
In a laboratory, two scientists create a liquid distillate of lightning, thunder, concentrated sun atoms, and a teaspoon of sugar. Later, a mouse dunks his cheese in the liquid (believing it to be harmless) before eating it. As a result, he discovers he can fly and has super-strength. He decides to dedicate his powers to a war on crime -- and cats! Using his newly-acquired super-vision, the mouse locates a costume shop and creates his Supermouse uniform.
Powers and Abilities[]
Supermouse's powers include flight, super-strength (the strength of 14,376 men and a boy), super-vision (a.k.a. super-sight), super-scent, super-hearing, and super-teeth. He needs to periodically eat his super-cheese in order to renew his powers.

Notes[]
- The Nedor comics were renewed by Popular Library, which was eventually bought out by Fawcett Books. When Fawcett went out of business, Popular Library was sold to Warner Bros. A number of different publishers, however, are currently/have been using these characters without any lawsuits from Warner Bros., so any action over them is (probably) unlikely. They are still, however, "use at your own risk" characters.
- Supermouse and Mighty Mouse (who was known as Super Mouse before 1943) are tied as the first ongoing funny animal superheroes.
- Supermouse is also the longest-running comic book star Nedor ever had.
