The Mad Mummy struck Captain Marvel with a sledge hammer-like blow, sending the hero sprawling into and demolishing a bank of computers with a deafening crash.

“No, you fools!” Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana screamed. “There goes my house surveillance!”

The scene was the basement of the “spooky house” located on Radley Street near downtown Fawcett City. Dr. Sivana’s secret laboratory was located here, and the Mad Mummy was magically bound to do the evil scientist’s bidding. And right now Sivana’s bidding was for the ancient monster to destroy Sivana’s most hated enemy, the heroic and powerful Captain Marvel.

As Cap was on the floor trying to disentangle himself from the computers’ smashed circuits and wires he spied the Mad Mummy quickly advancing on him, ready to deliver another crushing attack. Reacting with the speed of Mercury, Cap kicked the decrepit monster into the far wall where it collapsed to the ground as the wall came down around it.

Bolting to his feet Cap shot a hurried glance at the Egyptian-style sarcophagus resting on a table in the center of the basement that was pulsing and glowing an eerie green color and contained two petrified children. Cap swiftly yet carefully began to lift the coffin off the table as the children trapped inside were revealed to be Freddy Freeman and Mary Bromfield, the best friends of Captain Marvel’s alter ego, Billy Batson. Cap had just gotten the sarcophagus completely off the table---

The Mad Mummy charged into Cap from behind and caused him to drop the sarcophagus, destroying the table it had lain upon and roughly spilling out the two kids onto the floor. The horrid creature sat on the hero’s backside and began raining blows on the back of Captain Marvel’s head while chanting a chilling mantra in its gravelly voice.

“Kill…kill…killl…”

But the Champion of Shazam heaved the mummy off him with the strength of Hercules and whirled to face the creature, his face hard and determined.

“Enough. This ends now,” Cap declared.

And Cap flew through the air and hauled the Mad Mummy up through the huge hole in the ceiling made when Cap had originally crashed down into the subterranean laboratory. Now in the living room of the spooky house, Cap unleashed a torrent of thunderous blows that pummeled the Mad Mummy relentlessly, not giving it a chance to recover. The ancient creature went down to the floor and could only attempt to protect itself under the tremendous barrage of fists from the indomitable superhero. But as the short, intense battle raged on in the now devastated room Cap began to notice something odd.

The Mad Mummy seemed to be losing its strength.

A bewildered Cap felt his own vigor evaporate right out of him as he stared at the weakening monster. It was still trying to press on and continue the fight but it was clearly and rapidly losing its energy as it seemed to comprehend what was happening to it.

“No… nooo…”

And as Cap stood stock-still in amazement the Mad Mummy used the last of its strength and stopped moving altogether, remaining in a defensive posture on the floor. Cap wasted not another moment.

Leaving the defeated Mad Mummy where it lay, Cap zoomed back down to the basement laboratory to check on the condition of the kids who had tumbled from the sarcophagus he had dropped.
