A tale of King Kull from Conan the Barbarian Annual #3 by Howard Chaykin

There’s always st least one villain in a hero’s rogues gallery that would be at least semi-horrified if a hero/sidekick they’ve been fighting was a child all along.

And then there’s the Captain Marvel rogues gallery…

Honestly, I think they’d be more offended than anything if a villain from someone else’s RG was shocked and horrified at CM being a kid.

A CM villain: Why? Do you think he’s easy meat because of his age? You don’t even know what he can do! He could murder you if he wanted to!

Another villain: K, so should I just go attack him, or..?

CM villain: what? No! Fuck off, he’s my nemesis.

Sivanna, Mr. Mind, Kull, etc. They KNOW what kind of shit Billy Batson can get done. His age doesn’t matter to them at all.

The most that they’ll do is hide the whole age thing from the rest of the villain groups because for some reason, they’ve got a “line they won’t cross”. Isn’t that hilarious? Back in their day(1940s), as long as you could throw a mean punch, you could get punched back.

And, ofc, Billy feels strangely vindicated by how his villains are with him. They don’t feel the need to hold back because it’s Captain damn Marvel.
