Another star from the aptly titled Choice Comics is featured in all three of the short-lived publication's run, Kangaroo Man! Officially, there is no character in it named Kangaroo Man as it is more title-bait, but instead it is Jack Brian, a standard explorer who returns to the States after a stay in Australia. While he was down under, Jack went through some unknown origin story involving him forming a bond with a highly intelligent kangaroo called Bingo. Jack can understand everything Bingo says, and the two coordinate with Professor Stanford to stop enemy agents from sabotaging an army train. They both parachute out of a crashing plane and begin smashing spies in a way that Adam West and Burt Ward never had the guts to try. Jack flies after the remaining agents with Bingo hanging on the wing and swats the bad guys out of the sky. They then travel to Canada to help round up some escaped Nazis in a chase where Bingo actually rides a motorcycle to catch them while getting his tail stuck under a runaway tank. Our heroes later try to stop a greedy witch who can control snakes and cougars, only to get kangaroo stomped. Jack does this all for the service of his country, but Bingo performs these stupendous feats merely for the reward of cod liver oil pills! Before Power Man and Iron Fist, the original one-two punch of butt-kicking comic book partners were an above average adventurer and his buddy who is more potent than all of the Legion of Super-Pets combined.
