United power, honorable heroes
exuding relentless strength
to conquer villains and foes.
No surrender… all from remote retreats
A fused super heroes’ diverse abilities
for global and cosmic threats’ defeat.
Our Captain America, the leader of the avenger,
Iron Man, Captain Marvel and the rests
make our cosmic home safe by their love at vast power.
Paramount characters for all to emulate
Merging as one brave spirit for humanitarian goal
saving the world from evil! Join, it isn't too late!
How, my love? How does our new day find you?
And, how will we challenge the long, long night?
"Courage". Dan Rather's watch word still rings true.
Never abandoned the very light, right?
Superman, Green Lantern's nothing on us?
My Wonder Woman's more than Amazon.
Batman drove the bus on and on and on?
Will Captain Marvel soon rise like the sun?
Only if you promise me not to leave.
And what would you do if you ever did?
Believe the word's always yours to receive?
The Golden Bowl reaches from earth to lid.
Carol Danvers,
Universal daughter;
Human being, not a space born Kree;
Federal Security officer Air Force Pilot;
Allied and aid to the first whom bare that, the name of Captain Marvel
Carol Danvers is

CAPTAIN MAR-VELL
Alien Kree race
Soldier warrior
A spy
Yet humble
Defers a rumble
Done his native Kree warrior
Military uniform
To sometime protect earthlings
Found of treason for protecting humans
Humanity
Kree's government found him guilty
Later paired molecules with Rick Jones
Temporary logged in the negative zone
Captain Mar-vell
absorbs solar energy
Protector of the Universe
Captain Mar-vell
Whom earthen identity was Walter Larsen
Psionic energy being
was formally equip with mega bands and uni-beams
Emitting beams of pure blackness
And controlling magnetism this new hero
CAPTAIN MARVEL

Superman Confesses
By Elton Camp
At last the truth has come out
What Superman was really about
Pressure he was under was severe
To be the very best superhero here
Captain Marvel had help of Shazam
“My power’s enhanced & here I am”
Batman had help of riches galore
To be more than he was before
Spiderman had science to his aid
With that help, he had it made
So poor Superman just had to hedge
Use something that gave him an edge
Performance-enhancing drugs he found
Let him be the strongest hero around
A mixture of every type he did try
Until he found that it let him fly
Such drug use he tried to deny
Until Lois Lane gave it the lie
The facts he decided he’d confess
So to the good Oprah did address
“I’m sorry that I did such wrong
I had to do it to be that strong”
