I grew up on superhero comic books, and had a taste for Golden Age Fawcett Captain Marvel instilled in me. I figured it would be too much to be Captain Marvel himself ... too much to live up to. Plus, the name has been used by MANY other characters due to a complex copyright history. His nemesis is Dr. Sivana, “the world’s wickedest scientist”, who predates Lex Luthor and is a possible partial inspiration (bald mad scientist trope).
Anyway, I figured it would be fun to take the name of someone who isn’t too well known, is very much a character, and allows me to poke fun at myself a little.
The main problem is that the character is lesser known, so that I am sometimes mistaken for being a real medical doctor.
Thanks for that bit of comic book trivia. Though I’m in my mid sixties, I wasn’t aware of that character.
Mine is my stage name from band days
