This is pretty funny, but how would Otto not know Magneto was in the Holocaust? Magneto's like the bin Laden of mutants, so you'd think at least the broad strokes of his back story would be common knowledge for anyone reasonably educated.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Yeah I always thought the premise behind Captain Marvel was that instead of kids looking up adults they would imagine that they could be the superhero themselves, and that the main premise behind kid sidekicks is to provide a character that the kids could imagine themselves being. So the kids are supposed to identify with being the hero and the sidekick?

Captain Marvel is there for a child to identify with. Captain marvel Jr. is there for a child to identify with their friends and/or siblings.

Ha, I was thinking that but didn't say it, because then the implication is that the kid fantasizes about lording over their friends and siblings. "Hey Timmy wouldn't it be cool if we were both superheroes? I could be the big cool guy and you would still be a kid called Junior."
