The Golden Age Multiple Man!!

We begin with an unnamed scientist, disturbed by the state of the world...


OK, that is not a great idea. I mean, a world full of, say, snells? Hell on Earth!!

And the amoeba?

I don't know if  "split at will" is an accurate description, but it's Golden Age Science, so we'll let it go for now.

Less accurate?

"Fission hormone"?


Yeah, it's Jamie Madrox, all right.


The suit--the suit!!

See? It is the Golden Age Multiple Man!!

Wait..."rule the world"?? "Ho, ho, haa!"?? Oh, dear, this is going to take an evil turn, right?

Crime? Noooo...

But we see that "amoeba powers" can make monkeys out of the Marvel Family:



D'oh!!

Double d'oh!

Triple d'oh!!

The ill-gotten gains are going to a worthy cause!

And so an amoeba-based reign of terror overtakes Fawcett City...

Fortunately, our heroes have the wisdom of Solomon (and Minerva!):

That, and a cleverly-placed fake ad on Craig's List...

The meeting does not go well...



See, this is what would happen if you put hundreds of me in a room together...

Well, maybe not the shooting part...

Or can he?



Thus endeth the adventures of the Golden Age Multiple Man!!

From the Marvel Family #27 (1948)

So... three children came up with the idea "get them all together while they're carrying guns, and they'll all kill each other, problem solved."

Holy. Crap. That's edgy for a Fawcett comic.

t's unclear that the Marvel's knew guns would be involved...the large tank of "anti-fission" hormone might suggest that they meant to douse the whole crowd. Maybe...

Nope. The ad which the Marvels (who possess the Wisdom of Solomon placed in the newspaper says "Come armed!" That's premeditated "get'em to kill each other" in my book.
