In Captain Marvel #1, we are introduced to a super-android is created on another planet and named Captain Marvel. Atomic war breaks out, destroying the planet.
The hero eventually lands on Earth and is befriended by a boy named Billy Baxton.
As Roger Winkle, Captain Marvel gets a job as a writer for a press service and fights crime by splitting into six parts (head, torso, arms, and legs) upon crying “Split!”, and reuniting upon crying “Xam!” He can also shoot laser beams from his eyes, is super intelligent, deflect bullets and emit electrical shocks.
In the second story, "The Invisible Aliens," Captain Marvel battles devious aliens from another dimension.

Split! I managed to get four or five of these at $1-$2 apiece! Great fun. Love their ballsy use of names like Plastic Man and others that had fallen out of trademark. Too bad Marvel got their hands on the CM trademark.
