At the same time, the Purple Shirts managed to kidnap President Roosevelt, and later Uncle Sam. But Sam's rhetoric stirred some of the recruits, inciting them to rebel against the Purple Shirts. Unfortunately, these "terrorists" killed the father of young Buddy Smith, whom Uncle Sam adopted as his sidekick.; English playboy Jock Kellog learns that his uncle is dying and he couldn't wait to inherit the fortune. However, Jock learns that he is a descendant of Merlin, the ancient wizard of Camelot, and that he is being bequeathed Merlin's cloak, imbued with considerable magical power. His first foe was Mars, who had chained the goddess of peace, and Merlin defeated Mar's minions (Hunger and Poverty), then wrestled with the god of war himself, achieving victory.; When Wonder Boy's home planet Viro is destroyed he comes to Earth.
