Goofs / Nitpicks:
- In the comics, the "superhuman serum" that enhanced Captain America's physical attributes also improved his mental faculties—such as cognition, perception, balance, aim, and reflexes—to near genius-level. This allows him to instantly calculate ballistic-physics and predict the probable trajectory of objects in motion. As a result he deflect bullets with his shield without collateral ricochet to civilians, unlike how he is depicted in this sketch.
- Hourman uses Miraclo to give him superpowers.
- Bizzaro is married to Bizzaro Lois Lane.
- Bizarro's head is too big here.
