		The Adventures of Captain Marvel is a sprightly, highly enjoyable serial with the requisite cliff-hangers and daring-do.
		While it doesn't quite have the inventiveness or inherent silliness of Flash Gordon, Captain Marvel is still one of the greatest of the serials, with earnest performances and some surprisingly good special effects.

		It also does a number of things right; the comic relief character, though he plays a major part in the proceedings, is used for comic purposes only sparingly, and he totally avoids being annoying.
		The Scorpion is a very effective villain, each episode is very well done and makes good use of Captain Marvel's powers, and it avoids lame cliffhangers.
		This serial manages to be equally fun throughout its length; it may be the only time when, after watching the final episode, that I wished it had gone on for a few more.

		The Scorpion is a nice serial villain, complete with hooded face and ultimate weapon, and Captain Marvel remains my favorite hero.
		The flying superhero is based on a 1940s to 1950s comic book character, who went out of business after being sued by DC, the publishers of Superman, as a ripoff (in more recent years, he has been acquired and revived by DC; go figure).
		DC had a chance to have Superman serialized at Republic, but passed (the script was revised to become "The Mysterious Dr. Satan" with a non-super hero); Superman serials later came from Columbia with cartoon flying sequences.

		Back in the US, Billy Batson, as Captain Marvel, wages a battle against an evil, hooded figure, the Scorpion, who hopes to accumulate all five lenses, thereby gaining control of the super-powerful weapon.
