Things were always a little bit...
different...in a
Mary Marvel comic story.
First off, even though she had "
the same SHAZAM powers" as her brother, they somehow come from
completely different sources--which they never tired of reminding us!
Secondly, I'd wager a pretty penny that the male members of the
Marvel Family would
never have had a story titled:
And even if said story had a
different title, I'm pretty certain
Billy and
Freddy would
never face a villain like this:
...
an evil hairdresser using a hypnotic hairdrier to steal gems!!
And I am steadfast in my belief that the boys would never
ever end up in this particular death trap:
Yes,
an exploding hair-styling machine!!
[
SPOILER ALERT: It
wasn't the end of Mary Marvel. No, her end actually came at the hands of
diverse jackasses at
DC who turned her evil, turned her evil
again, turned her to stone, and then, in what was clearly a
mercy killing by that point, rebooted her out of existence. Talk about death traps...]
From Mary Marvel #28 (1948)
