CA Junior and the Caped Canine

Description

Even older than Pariah Knight or Thunderduck by MANY years is my FIRST superhero: the Caped Avenger. Originally a game played by me and my little sister when we were kids, CA and his "sidekick," the horribly named Caped Avengette were a cross between the original Captain Marvel and Space Ghost, a pair of kids (natch) whose "power bracelets" transformed them into powerful superheroes able to fly and fire a variety of "power beams" at their enemies.
Of course, the innocence of youth often gives way to the cynicism of age, and Capey here is no exception, as the new story that's sprung up around "the Avenger Family" is the "rework" most blatanly influenced by my current life situation: once the premier superteam of the 70's, the Avenger Family has been missing since their mission to stop Haley's Comet from hitting an alien planet. Decades later, an as-yet unnamed family is chosen by "the Powers of the Cosmos" to receive the power bracelets.
Unfortunately, the Powers of the Cosmos aren't quite as on the ball as they once were. Not only do they blow it on the family selection, selecting a divorced couple, their son, and the wife's new fiancee' as the bracelets' recipients, but they ALSO give the wrong bracelets to the wrong recipients...a double goof, since one of the bracelets is actually a dog-collar. As a result, the son becomes the new Caped Avenger, his mom becomes the caped Avengette (OK, the Powers got THAT one right...her bracelets ARE pink, though, so they had help), the new fiancee' becomes the Caped Avenger Junior, and the dad becomes Axel, the Caped Canine.
Making matters worse is that the Avenger Family's unintentionally public return sparks many of the original Family's villains to come after them, and, while some have succumbed to the passage of time and become almost parodies of themselves, other have had 20 years to entrench themselves and build their powers and influence in hopes of eventually destroying their foes. Unfortunately, especially for the new Axel, each member of the Avenger Family is only at full power when all four are in their hero forms...which leaves the public confused as to why the Avengette and CA Junior seem to be flirting with each other, why CA himself acts so disgusted whenever anyone asks how his and the Avengette's "relationship" is going, and why Axel seems to always be attacking Junior.
Here are the bitter rivals, Caped Avenger Junior and Axel, the Caped Canine. Feel the love..!
