Trivia:
Due to copyright issues and lawsuits, Captain Marvel was ultimately discontinued. It resurfaced as Shazam, the character featured in a 2019 movie with a large enough box office to merit a sequel. Marvel Comics has their own Captain Marvel, but it's about a female superhero.
The character of the Scorpion in the 1941 Captain Marvel movie serial was originally in the comics at the time Otto Binder was a writer for them.
In 1959, Binder was co-creator of Supergirl and the Legion of Super Heroes for DC.
Although a sci-fi and comic book writer, he also wrote about science and UFOs.
I met Binder a couple of times in the late 60s and early 70s, and he gave me a couple of tidbits about his old friend, Ray Palmer.

That's fantastic because I think you knew Ray Palmer fairly well.
Fairly well. Not really. I knew him, that's all.
