List of Marvel Family Enemies - Munitions Makers

Munitions Makers

In a park an alien lands causing the people to run away. The creature, a green scaley reptilian creature, is upset and sees a girl who only hid, but she faints. Billy hears the people running away and transforms. He sees the alien with the girl and thinks he killed her, but the alien reveals he was rubbing her wrists to revive her. After she leaves the alien feels sad that he is like a monster here, making Marvel realise he is inwardly kind and gentle. The alien shows his space-ship, saying he is Thoth from the faraway world of Brazzia, on a great and glorious mission. His name is Thoth. Thoth says there are thousands of other inhabitated worlds in the Universe. When they are able to travel between each other with space ships war might happen, leading to a war of worlds and plunging the whole known Universe into a gigantic holocaust, leading to the destruction of whole worlds and the death of billions. So Thoth is going to visit all worlds, signing them up as citizens of the Universe. As citizens of the Universe, pledged to eternal peace with each other, no scheming dictators or munitions makers could ever cause war. Cap decides to sign up, but a mob comes, thinking he is a spy from another world or an evil mastermind. Cap tries to stop them, but one of them says 'The Monster has come to conquer and enslave Earth! We can tell that just by looking at him!' Then two Policmen arrive and say they will lock him up for disturbing the peace, if nothing else, and let the court decide what to do with him. Cap 'cannot interfere because it is the law', and tries to tell them Thoth came to do good in a great peace movement.

But they do not believe this, and while Thoth is being taken to jail three humanoids arrive. They claim to be from a world near Thoth's world and say he is a well-known criminal, so they will take him away. Cap tells them Thoth is kind and good, but when one of them asks if the people believe him, the people say 'Yes, we believe you, Sir! Anybody can tell by one look that you people are honest and upright and good.' They take Thoth away, but Cap follows them and they reveal they are a small band of munitions makers, 'Our policy is to make all the worlds of space hate each other!' After starting a gigantic war of the worlds, they will sell their munitions and reap a vast fortune. Since Thoth is trying to cause peace, they followed him here, but before they can shoot him, Cap hits them.

Cap lets them escape purposely so he can follow them, as they do not know he can fly through space. He follows them to another world, as they want to report this to the rest of the munition makers, where a huge trapdoor opens for their ship. Cap knocks out the two guards, and hears them planning to capture and kill Thoth before he starts his citizens of the Universe movement. Then they can look forward to the great war of the worlds, where they will sell weapons to both sides. In the room are enough weapons to make them 'the biggest fortune in history!' Cap breaks through the door, and tells them he will set the munitions off, but is giving them five minutes to leave. 'Five minutes later the most gigantic explosion ever seen on any world occurs!' The munition makers plan to start the store on an other world, thinking Cap has died in the explosion. But the World's Mightiest Mortal emerges without a scratch and decides to give them to the Police of this world. He forces their ship down toward a city of the strange planet. The rest are peace loving, he is sure, only this group plotted war, so will be tried for treason against the Universe. He then goes to Earth and reveals what Thoth was doing, meaning all the people sign up as citizens of the Universe. After this Thoth leaves.

Famous quotes containing the words munitions and/or makers:

    Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All that we call ideal in Greek or any other art, because to us it is false and visionary, was, to the makers of it, true and existent.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
