Let's see here. A young orphan who works as a newsboy yells the name of his hero out loud and transforms into...Red Rube!?!! Yep. This shirtless wonder is one of the few MLJ superheroes who--to the best of my knowledge--has never been revived. While it may sound much like Freddy Freeman's backstory, our young protagonist is drawn to very much resemble Billy Batson.
