Leon Lyarr
A who man gets a contract to build a highway through the mountains in Shire Country, but claims to be using an entirely new method, and sends a letter to Billy Batson about it. Billy goes there, and Lyarr says all the machines have built-in controls and are guided by remote control from the master machine. Suddenly two machines go berserk, Billy summons Captain Marvel who stops them and tells Lyarr to turn the master machine off. He tries to make adjustments, for which Billy admires him for trying a new method. The next day Billy gets a call saying the master machine went wild and the Marvel Family is needed. Captain Marvel alerts Jr. and Mary who help stop the berserk machines. The Marvels then decide to build the highway to stop Lyarr from losing his contract. When they leave, Lyarr laughs and calls them fools. The next day, at the dedication ceremony attended by the Highway Commissioner, all the Marvels are there as civilians. Billy checks the master machine and finds it empty, showing Lyarr is a fraud, but he is gagged from behind by Lyarr, tied up, and placed in the cement mixer. When the Commissioner pours the cement, Billy hooks his gag on the chute edge and transforms. He reveals Lyarr is a crook, Lyarr grabs his cheque and tries to escape down the highway in his car. The Marvel Family flies after him and stops him. Cap says he put timing devices into his machines so they would go wild, knowing the Marvel Family would help him. The cheque goes to charity, and the highway is named the Marvel Turnpike.
