Mais voil\u00e0 que pour aider le repr\u00e9sentant du pouvoir de Shazam un autre h\u00e9ros costum\u00e9 d\u00e9fonce la porte. C\u2019est le moment qu\u2019\u00e0 choisi l\u2019intr\u00e9pide Minute Man pour sortir de la retraite\u2026<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Le jeune Billy Batson (Captain Marvel) et son oncle Dudley font une halte \u00e0 Columbus (Ohio) pour l\u2019ouverture d\u2019un restaurant tenu pas leur vieil ami Jack Weston. En fait, m\u00eame le n\u00e9ophyte apprend en quelques cases que Weston est un ancien coll\u00e8gue de Captain Marvel. Entre 1941 et 1944 il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le h\u00e9ros patriotique Minute Man mais go\u00fbte aujourd\u2019hui \u00e0 une retraite bien m\u00e9rit\u00e9e. Mais alors que tout le monde est \u00e0 table, une \u00e9quipe de super-criminelle (le Rainbow Squad) fait irruption dans l\u2019endroit. C\u2019est un hold-up ! Quand \u00e0 savoir pourquoi il faudrait une \u00e9quipe de super-criminelle pour voler un simple restaurant de l\u2019Ohio, le sc\u00e9nariste (E. Nelson Bridwell) ne l\u2019expliquera que quelques pages plus tard (si si, il y a une raison)\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.comicbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/shazam31big.jpg?w=1140\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" \/>Tr\u00e8s vite on d\u00e9couvre que les femmes sont appel\u00e9es Rainbow Squad (l\u2019Escadron Arc-En-Ciel) parce qu\u2019elles ont chacune une couleur attitr\u00e9e et un pouvoir qui va avec (une sorte de version f\u00e9minine et mal\u00e9fique des Bioman). Sans perdre de temps, Billy prononce le mot magique \u00ab Shazam \u00bb et se transforme en Captain Marvel, pr\u00eat \u00e0 en d\u00e9coudre. Seulement les criminelles ont un plan : elles savent que Marvel est chaste et innocent. Elles se ruent donc sur lui comme si elles \u00e9taient toutes (sauf une, Virago, trop f\u00e9ministe pour s\u2019abaisser \u00e0 \u00e7a) sur lui pour lui d\u00e9clarer (faussement) leur amour et lui voler des baisers. Trop timide, Captain Marvel s\u2019enfuit en courant (souvenons-nous qu\u2019\u00e0 la base il n\u2019est qu\u2019un simple gamin dans un corps d\u2019homme). Captain Marvel en fuite, le Rainbow Squad court retrouver son boss, Mister Wonderful. Il explique qu\u2019il a choisit une \u00e9quipe constitu\u00e9e de femmes car il savait que le talon d\u2019Achille de Captain Marvel ce sont les femmes. Bon, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 la logique du sc\u00e9nariste est un peu tangente, c\u2019est qu\u2019il aurait fallut que le criminel sache \u00e0 l\u2019avance que Captain Marvel serait l\u00e0, ce qui supposerait conna\u00eetre son identit\u00e9 secr\u00e8te (ce qui n\u2019est pas le cas). Serait-ce un indice ?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pendant ce temps l\u2019oncle Dudley s\u2019\u00e9tonne que Captain Marvel ait fuit devant les femmes. Il arrive \u00e0 invoquer l\u2019esprit d\u2019Achille (l\u2019un des personnages antiques qui constituent le pouvoir de Shazam). Celui-ci explique que \u00e7a ne l\u2019\u00e9tonne qu\u2019\u00e0 moiti\u00e9, que les femmes c\u2019est d\u00e9j\u00e0 ce qui a d\u00e9clench\u00e9 la guerre de Troie (jolie mentalit\u00e9 r\u00e9trograde). Mais finalement le discours d\u2019Achille (qui explique comment il a veng\u00e9 un ami tomb\u00e9 \u00e0 la bataille) inspire Jack Weston. C\u2019est un signe, il doit porter \u00e0 nouveau le costume de Minute Man (on se demande pourquoi il a mis tant de temps avant de le comprendre).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pendant ce temps Captain Marvel erre, traumatis\u00e9 de ne pas oser affronter les filles. L\u2019une d\u2019elle le retrouve et utilise ses \u00ab pouvoirs atomiques \u00bb pour le retransformer en humain. Le pauvre Billy n\u2019est pas de taille et est fait rapidement prisonnier. Et c\u2019est l\u00e0 qu\u2019intervient le fameux poids de 5 tonnes (celui qui \u00e9tait sur la couverture) et on comprend mieux son r\u00f4le dramatique. Monsieur Wonderful attache le petit Billy sous le poids. Le gosse ne peut esp\u00e9rer survivre \u00e0 ce pi\u00e8ge\u2026 Mais Minute Man arrive et arrache le baillon de Billy. Celui-ci est libre de crier Shazam, juste \u00e0 temps pour que le poids se casse sur sa forme devenue indestructible. Reste le probl\u00e8me premier : Minute Man essaie de convaincre Captain Marvel qu\u2019ils peuvent battre le gang de femmes mais l\u2019autre h\u00e9ros reste emp\u00eatr\u00e9 par sa galanterie d\u00e9mesur\u00e9e. Seul, Minute Man est cependant vite battu et Mister Wonderful laisse \u00e9clater un rire caract\u00e9ristique, que reconna\u00eet Marvel\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Captain Marvel a alors l\u2019inspiration de laisser agir ses pouvoirs de mani\u00e8re d\u00e9fensive. Elles se blessent en essayant de le taper (rappelons-le, il est indestructible) et le h\u00e9ros passe rapidement au cas de Mister Wonderful, pour lequel il n\u2019a aucune retenue galante. Il le tape m\u00eame assez fort pour le briser\u2026 Car ce n\u2019est pas un \u00eatre humain mais un andro\u00efde. A l\u2019int\u00e9rieur ? Mister Mind (le ver extra-terrestre super-intelligent), l\u2019un des pires ennemis de Captain Marvel. Cela explique comment \u00ab Mister Wonderful \u00bb en savait tant sur le h\u00e9ros. Le ver, t\u00e9l\u00e9pathe, sait tout de la vie priv\u00e9e de Captain Marvel. Accul\u00e9, Mister Mind r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 s\u2019enfuir \u00e0 travers une fissure du plancher. La journ\u00e9e n\u2019est pas compl\u00e8tement loup\u00e9e puisque Minute Man d\u00e9clare \u00e0 son coll\u00e8gue que cette aventure lui a rappel\u00e9 tout ce qu\u2019il a manqu\u00e9 ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. C\u2019est d\u00e9cid\u00e9, on devrait revoir Minute Man r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement d\u00e9sormais\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sauf que\u2026 C\u2019est \u00e0 se demander ce qui passait pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment dans la t\u00eate de E. Nelson Bridwell en ramenant ce h\u00e9ros oubli\u00e9, disparu depuis 33 ans. On ne le reverrait plus pendant une vingtaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es (et la s\u00e9rie Power Of Shazam) o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait \u00e0 nouveau \u00e0 la retraite, n\u2019apparaissant en costume que dans de rares flashbacks. Shazam! #31 est essentiellement la seul apparition majeure de Minute Man dans l\u2019\u00e8re moderne. Et finalement avec assez peu de cons\u00e9quences. Dommage, son look avait quelque chose de sympa\u2026<\/p>\n[<em>Xavier Fournier<\/em>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[FRENCH] Impassible, les bras crois\u00e9s, Captain Marvel est assis sur une chaise alors qu\u2019un \u00e9norme de poids de 5 tonnes&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,151],"tags":[125,21,126,54],"class_list":["post-787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-oldies-but-goodies","tag-captain-marvel","tag-comics","tag-minute-man","tag-shazam"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Oldies But Goodies: Shazam!
