I remember reading the Superduperman / Captain Marbles story when it first came out. I will NEVER forget his magic word, Shazoom -> Strength, Health, Aptitude, Zeal, Ox, Power of, Ox, Power of another, Money! (I even remember the exclamation point after Money!)
I had no idea who Captain Marvel was then, and didn't learn for years afterward. So I probably missed a lot of references in the story. Although I think I remember that Superduperman tricked Captain Marbles into knocking himself out because his was the only power strong enough to defeat him - which I know now was probably a reference to Fawcett folding their hand and throwing it in.

I wasn't quite old enough for that, although I came across Woman Wonder and Superduperman in a seventies reprint of her first fifties appearance. Given that Earth-12 appears to have endless reproductions of the Justice League and its somewhat erratic and satirical analogues, perhaps 5E might want to consider reintroducing these historic characters?
