Captain Marvel Jr #64 (1948)

Grey Lockhart is a scientist who has invented a Kirbyesque Box that will make him famous, only to be shot to death from his window by the Outlaw, a masked man in a cape and hat. He heads to the Old West Room of the Art Museum and resurrects Jesse James, Quantrell and Black Rufe, the three deadliest men in the West, with Grey Lockhart's Reintegrator-Camera, which can put souls back into physical form, letting the villains walk out of their frames. The Outlaw says that they work for him now. The night watchman is very confused later on and hits the alarm, summoning Freddy Freeman, who calls CAPTAIN MARVEL to fly there as Captain Marvel, Jr. Black Rufe talks in the third-person about Black Rufe not liking nosey brats and goes to stab Junior in the chest, but quickly discovers that it shatters on him and he gets punched in the floor, mocked that Junior merely thinks he's dressed up as the famed Black Rufe. He clouts the other two Westerners, but the Outlaw shoves a large bronze statue on top of him. Meanwhile, the Outlaw's Gang fires off guns in the streets on horseback just to scare people and even ruining a perfectly good hat. Quantrell soon robs a bank and a citizen legs it out of the Citizen's Bank and tells Freddy that there's crazy people in there. He calls CAPTAIN MARVEL and Junior quickly drags them from their horses. He immediately punches out Black Rufe yet again, but the Outlaw does a few crazy swipes with his cape and then runs away with all his goons. Even his goons are confused as to what happened there and also what the Outlaw wants in this, but the Outlaw says he isn't taking a cut, but that it's because he just likes spreading crime, hoping that crimes will create other crimes and join him in a militant uprising. The next day, Freddy looks into the three bandits and that they're connected to the missing portraits, so he calls CAPTAIN MARVEL to become Captain Marvel, Jr. The Outlaw's Gang soon drive a horse on to the tracks to flag down a train and then rob a mail truck, but Junior is flagged down by a dispatcher nearby who says the streamliner isn't there. He soon tackles the Outlaw and punches him, sending him into his own campfire, seemingly destroying him entirely. Junior is unsure what his deal was and later the stolen paintings go back to the Museum. Both Freddy and Junior are still not sure if he'll come back or not.
