List of Marvel Family Enemies - Rex

Rex

A man who plots world domination, having agents placed around the world to cause a war and rise into power. Kenneth Leith is a man who wants peace and with the help of the Marvel Family plans on a Seven Wonders of the World exhibit to unite every continent. However Rex's agents try to sabotage this. At an atomic cyclotron Rex's agents attack. Mary visits and realises an agent disguised as an atomic scientist isn't one. She turns back to Mary Batson and climbs up a drainpipe and sees in a window Kenneth Leith bound and gagged. However he can't warn her off an agent next to the window, and a gun-butt blow to the head knocks her out as she climbs in. When she comes to she is also gagged and tied to Leith. The two agents aim the cyclotron at them, she thinks they'll be blasted to atoms by a charge of billions of neutrons. Jr. goes to where a tapestry depicting the history of the world as told by Buddha, the Asian donation, is. He is tricked into transforming into Freddy Freeman and knocked out with a gun from behind. He is then bound and gagged and left in the tapestry room with a case of dynamite about to explode. Captain Marvel sees another Exhibit, a Rocket capable of travelling to interstellar space. Paul Delacroix, in charge of the exhibit, says he is waiting for Billy Batson to make the announcement. He turns back but in Delacroix's Office he is attacked by Rex's 2 henchmen, one covers his mouth and Delacroix tells him to gag Billy to prevent him becoming Captain Marvel. Billy is bound and gagged and Rex enters. He tells what has happened to the other two Marvel Family members, and decides to use the Rocket to finish Billy. Delacroix is upset at the killing, and his daughter Annabel tells him he mustn't do this. He takes a gun and tells them not to launch the rocket. Rex walks towards him and is shot dead, but his henchmen shoot Delacroix dead. In the rocket Annabel takes Billy's gag off, he transforms as the Rocket is launched and pushes it back. He ties up Rex's men and leaves to save Freddy Freeman and Mary Batson. Cap saves Mary, and Mary removes Freddy's gag, he says the magic word just as Cap notes the fuse has burned up, the dynamite explodes. The Marvels are thought dead and the Asians refuse to join in the festivities, suspecting other nations of destroying the tapestry there is talk of war, but the Marvels then return having re-woven the tapestry which was torn apart by the explosion, which is why they disappeared. Kenneth then adds an Eighth Exhibit, a statue of the Marvel Family.
