It showed that Cap was really a kid under all that god-like power with too much pressure to handle and I think he reminded Superman of himself at that age, even though Clark was nowhere that powerful at that age, which somewhat makes it harder for Billy when he's Captain Marvel since his power rivals with adult Superman, even though he can transform back to a normal human boy. In a way they have alot in common, except that Billy is like a early bloomer when it comes to super-heroics and awesome power. This is the way they should write Captain Marvel, as a teenager who's forced to be a man. Link: http://www.comicmonsters.com/
