Captain Marvel was a superhero published by Myron Fass' short-lived M. F. Enterprises. The character is unrelated to those published by Fawcett Comics, DC Comics, or Marvel Comics and only appeared in a few comics in the late 1960s before legal challenges shut down the publisher.

The character was an alien android who arrived on planet Earth as a refugee, fleeing the nuclear warfare which destroyed his home planet. In his secret identity, he worked as a university professor and attempted to raise a legal ward as a single father.
