Description Lieutenant Hermes, Lieutenant Hercules & Lieutenant Solomon
Real Name(s): Pippi Villekulla, Tod Holton & Wilber Klutz
Powers: When the three say the word "Natit" together, they get struck by lightning and gain adult bodies with Enhanced Strength, Speed, Stamina, Endurance & Intelligence and Flight. Each member has a more powerful variant of their existing powers. Pippi's speed is much greater, Tod is much more physically stronger and Wilbur is more intelligent.
Equipment: None
First Appearance: "Lieutenant Marvels" - Whiz Comics #21 (Sept. 1941) / "Pippi Villekulla" - Pippi Långstrump (November, 1945) / "Tod Holton" - Tod Holton, Super Green Beret #1 (Apr. 1967) / "Wilbur Klutz" - Green Lama #1 (1944)

Finally, I have done a redesign of Fawcett Comics' Lieutenant Marvels. What got me to finally figure out a design is reading about Super Green Beret. C. C. Beck and Otto Binder's second attempt to have the Shazam lightning strike twice, since Super Green Beret has almost identical concept to Captain Marvel such as a young boy who magically changes into a super-powerful adult with the aid of a bearded wizard. Except unlike Captain Marvel, teenager Tod Holton uses an enchanted green beret that if he salutes while wearing it, it changes him into his superhero form. But unlike the creator's Captain Marvel and their later Fatman, The Human Flying Saucer, Super Green Beret's stories were not as good or as memorable.

Anyway about the members themselves, Pippi is based on Pippi Longstocking, Tod Holton I've already described, and Wilbur Klutz was originally a superhero called Lieutenant Hercules. Their backstory is that the three orphans are close friends of Thunderbird and Thundergirl 's civilian identities. When both Benny and Mary gained their powers and became super heroes, their friendship started to splinter as both Benny and Mary were almost always out around town to fight crime. But one day the three were captured by a mad scientist whose plans were to use the magical energies extracted from Thunderbird's blood to create his own super soldiers to try and take over the world.

This character was made using Hero Machine 3.

Why the spider webs?

I had a reason, but I forgot what it was. Maybe it's to make it different from how the Modern Captain Marvel has energy surging through his symbol and I didn't want it to be a plain insignia.
