Creator: Pierre Fournier
Debut: Les Aventures du Capitaine Kébec No. 1 (1973)
Powers: Super strength, speed and flight

Considered to be Quebec's first national superhero, Capitaine Kébec was a spoof of the American superhero genre and the state of Canadian society at the time. And sure, he doesn't look like much (his cape is a towel!) and he got his powers by meditating in a forest while high, but he's still a pretty cool hero. Heck, he even fought Captain Haddock fromTintin!

Ask any Mexican worth their pablanos and they'll tell you Corona is the $#!+ they sell us while they keep the good stuff for themselves......just like the Brits do keeping the hot girls over there close by and sending us the dregs.
OF course, everyone knows it's Dos Equis or nothing!

Looks like something from Zap Comix.
