<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">He&#8217;s going to be exactly like Captain Marvel except that instead of saying &#8220;Shazam!&#8221; he&#8217;s going to say &#8220;Zapdoodle!&#8221;</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">And instead of being Aryan he&#8217;s going to be vaguely multi-ethnic.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">And instead of battling generalized injustice he will fight a specific injustice, like homelessness or suburban sprawl.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">And instead of having popular support people will mock him and try to have him arrested.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">And instead of having a uniform of red spandex he will have a uniform of random clothes from Salvation Army.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">And instead of having a sidekick he will have his sides kicked when he sleeps on the street.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">And instead of having a secret identity, people just won&#8217;t really care who he is.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">And instead of being young, tall, athletic and arguably handsome, he will be short, pudgy, and middle-aged, with a pronounced limp.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">OK, so he&#8217;s not going to be much like Captain Marvel at all.</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">But he will say &#8220;Zapdoodle!&#8221;</p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"></p>
<p style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">In fact, he may not say anything else, ever.</p>
