"Tonight I'm gonna be
you're mighty, mighty man,
have you heard the news,
there's good rocking tonight.
Well flip flop and fly ...
I don't care if I die."

Captain Marvel / Billy Baston


When Elvis was 5 or 6 years old he discovered "Captan Marvel Junior"
the mighty alter-ego of poor Freddie Freeman below in purple
 a paper boy in Fawcett City was crippled during a battle between Captain
     Marvel (above) and Captain Nazi. To make up for this accident,
Captain Marvel bequeathed a portion of his power to Freddy.
     Now, whenever Freddy says "Captain Marvel", he is transformed into
Captain Marvel Junior.(Below) Freddy's costume is similar to Captain Marvel's,
except that his costume is blue, instead of red.
Captain Marvel Junior first appeared in Whiz  #24 (December 1941),
following the tremendous success of Captain Marvel. After initial popularity, interest in Captain
     Marvel, Elvis  identified with Freddie being even poorer than Freddie..
Captain Marvel Jr.
The influence these "good" super heros had on a young Elvis is braided throughout his lifetime
through the costumes he wore to his TCB Flash  lightning bolt logo which meant
Taking Care of business in a Flash!.
