Synopsis for "The World's Mightiest Fight"
Learning about a poacher hunting animals in a protected reserve in Africa, Captain Marvel flies to the dark continent to try to catch them. He's surprised to find out the poacher is actually an alien trying to catch the greatest prey in the universe. And when Cap withstands his alien rifle, the Space Hunter swallows "atomic energy food" that makes him strong to enough smack Cap so hard that he lands a mile away.
Hearing about Cap's exploits, the Space Hunter decides he's the ultimate prey and hunts him down to capture him. The Space Hunter's atomic food makes him a formidable foe, with their blows knocking each other across entire continents. The fight only ends when Captain Marvel forces the Space Hunter to eat all of his atomic food and then crashes the alien into the ground at top speed, creating an atomic blast. The Space Hunter manages to survive even this, but with all his atomic food used up he can't keep fighting Captain Marvel and flees back into space.

Synopsis for "Captain Marvel Helps WHIZ Get Color Television!"
Station WHIZ is about to switch over from black and white to color. As they make their preparations, a peculiar little man declaring himself the "Color Maker" appears and takes an order from Sterling Morris (who's just playing along to get him out of the way). They start thinking there might be something to his outrageous claims, when the Color Maker makes his exit by climbing out the window only to vanish.
Indeed he is responsible for all the colors on Earth, but the Color Maker is so offended to see the terrible abstract art his colors are being used for, he revokes all color in the world. When the world suddenly turns monochrome, Captain Marvel flies outside and runs into the disgusted Color Maker, and follows him back to the source of all colors. Finding out the Color Maker is an artist himself, he takes a few of the man's works to broadcast them. Realizing his works can't be appreciated with no color, the Color Maker puts everything back the way it was.
