Synopsis for Captain Marvel: "His Family Tree"

A woman who claims to be Sterling Morris' bereft cousin asks him for financial support, but he doesn't believe her story. She shows him a family tree that seems to prove it, but Billy agrees to investigate the "Gideon Snoope" behind it, to find out if he might be a fraud. Not sure how he can actually prove Snoope's findings aren't genuine, Billy has an idea and changes to Captain Marvel. After all, as a magical construct, the Captain can't possibly have any ancestors. Much to Marvel's surprise, Snoope has a very convincing family tree of invulnerable supermen that Captain Marvel is supposedly descended from, making him wonder if he might actually have ancestors! When Morris' "cousin" comes in and blabs their plan while Marvel's still there, though, he realizes it's all a scam after all. Somewhat to his disappointment, his fictitious forebears having sounded like such admirable fellows.
