Wilbur Klutz was given superhuman powers by Merlin the wizard and decided to use his new powers to make money as Lieutenant Hercules, a superhero for hire. Klutz set himself up in an office, taking out advertisements in the ''Daily Bugle'' and ''Daily Blah'' with Merlin as his manager.

His powers included indestructibility, flight, superhuman strength, wisdom, and speed. Lieutenant Hercules could change between his human and superhuman forms by employing a magical formula, but eventually, he got stuck in his superhuman state after visiting "comic land" for an extended period of time.

This character is a parody of the original Fawcett Publications Captain Marvel.
