Mortimer gains the powers of other characters in his comic book (i.e. Bogey Man, The Sorcerer, etc.) to become spoof superhero Captain Milksop. Distinctive-looking Plutonian bad guy Satanas was listed in Jon Morris's 2017 book The League of Regrettable Supervillains. Bogey Man; First Aid; The Sorcerer and His Apprentice; Gag Parade; Sgt.
