Playdough recipe Ingredients: 1 cup flour· 2 tsp cream of tartar· 1/2 cup salt· 1 tbsp cooking oil or vegetable oil· 1 cup water· food coloring Instructions: 1. In a large bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients (flour, salt, cream of tartar) and mix well. 2. Mix food coloring with your water first. Then add the vegetable oil and water with food coloring to a large pot. Mix together. 3. Add the dry ingredients to your pot and mix well. 4. Cook over low to medium heat until the dough starts to form and becomes dry. 5. Once it starts to form a ball together and looks fully cooked, take off the heat. Let the dough cool first before touching. 6. Once cool, knead the dough for 5 minutes to make the dough soft. Storage: First wrap your playdough in saran wrap then store in an air-tight container.

Most of these versions exist in Marvel's main shared universeknown as the Marvel Universe. In order to retain its trademark, Marvel has published a Captain Marvel title at least once every few years since, leading to a number of ongoing serieslimited seriesand one-shots featuring a range of characters using the Captain Marvel alias. Mar-Vell eventually wearies of his superiors' malicious intent and allies himself with Earth, and the Kree Empire brands him a traitor. From then on, Mar-Vell fights to protect Earth Captain Marvel: Death of Captain Marvel all threats. He was later revamped by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane. Having been exiled to the Negative Zone by the Supreme Intelligencethe only way Mar-Vell can temporarily escape is to exchange atoms with Rick Jones by means of special wristbands called Nega-Bands. The process of the young man being replaced in a flash by the older Captain Marvel: Death of Captain Marvel was a nod to the original Fawcett Captain Marvel, which had young Billy Batson says the magic word "Shazam" to transform into the hero. With the title's sales still flagging, Marvel allowed Jim Starlin to conceptually revamp the character, [6] although his appearance was little changed.

    The Empowering Squirrel Girl Jayme Horne Submitted for History of Art 390 Feminism and History of Art Professor Ellen Shortell Massachusetts College of Art and Design All the strength of a squirrel multiplied to the size of a girl? That must be the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (fig. 1)! This paper will explore Marvel’s Squirrel Girl character, from her introduction as a joke character to her 2015 The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl ​ comic series which is being harold as being extremely empowering. This paper aims to understand why a hero like Squirrel Girl would be harold and celebrated by fans, while other female heroes with feminist qualities like Captain Marvel or the New Almighty Thor might be receiving not as much praise. Squirrel Girl was created by Will Murray and artist Steve Ditko. Despite both of them having both worked for Marvel and DC, and having written stories about fan favorites like Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and others, they are most known for creating Squirrel Girl, also known as Doreen Green. Her powers include superhuman strength, a furry, prehensile tail (roughly 3-4 feet long), squirrel-like buck teeth, squirrel-like retractable knuckle claws, as well as being able to communicate with squirrels and summon a squirrel army. She was first introduced in 1991, where she ambushed Iron Man in attempt to impress him and convince him to make her an Avenger. That’s when they were attacked one of Marvel’s most infamous and deadly villains, Doctor Doom. After Doctor Doom has defeated Iron Man, Squirrel Girl jumps in with her squirrel army and saves Iron Man1 (fig.
