(Super Green Beret #2, "The Lion God of Mokuru") In the African country of Nobuti, American Peace Corps workers have been captured by followers of Simba, the lion god of the volcano Mokuru, and are due to be sacrificed by being thrown into the lava. Sensing the imminent deaths, the ancient monk contacts Tod Holton who dons his beret and is immediately transformed into his superhuman form while simultaneously being teleported to Nobuti and telepathically informed of the situation awaiting him. He rescues the men from the Peace Corps and then goes on to deal with Simba.
Comments: Super Green Beret only lasted two issues -
can't think why!
So, a weird old man gives you a hat that glows suspiciously. Naturally you give it to someone else to try on first (and preferably a young kid... Talk about child endangerment!)
