Great episode and you had me cracking up when you said, "Go ahead and call him 'Negroman' and get it over with". Although I agree with you that people create their own problems when they drink, smoke, etc., I also believe that when they first start, it could have been they were weak-willed, peer pressure, an answer to depression, etc. so it's not always so black or white to just say, 'if you never smoked that first crack pipe, you wouldn't be shivering in the streets'.
Either way, this is about comic books, so yeah, who's Captian Marvel again? Is he that dude who hangs out in the Rock of Etertnity?
