There was no hero more appropriate, more perfect for the job in the opinion of the assembled Wizards than the square-jawed Captain America of the alternate dimension Earth: Marvel. And so, on Independence Day, the Fourth of July, the spellcasters assembled to craft their spell and open a dimensional portal, summoning the personification, the spirit of America.Pooling their powers, the magicians rent open the fabric of space-time and pulled through – The Mormodillo. When the smoke cleared, The White Warlock was horrified to discover that he had summoned a strange half-humanoid beast clad in a bony exoskeleton and a very peculiar pair of glasses, brandishing a spear dripping with blood. Although the Mormodillo was all too enthusiastic to assist in liberating America from its alien oppressors, his arrival was not well-received. The Warlock and his cohorts naturally assumed that Hoon agents had interfered with the Ritual and not, as it later turned out, that the apple pie used in the spell was made partially out of corn flour. There was little the Mormodillo could do for his part as he spoke only Nahuatl, Mayan, Iroquois and Quechua. The Mormodillo came from the alternate dimension Earth: Ballam where he was, indeed, the equivalent symbol of Captain America, being a Totemic version of the most recognizable indigenous North American animal of the colonial age, armed with the relics of North America's most recognizable indigenous religion: Mormonism (He is armed with both the legendary Javelin of Teancum and the Seer Stones of Zahrahemla, which have been fashioned into a pair of irregular glasses)Rejected by those who summoned him, the Mormodillo nonetheless fought valiantly against the Hoon as he traveled south to Mexico in search of someone with whom he could converse. It was there that he first made the acquaintance of Senor Misterioso the famous Mexican hero who taught him Spanish and English and explained the ways of this world. He briefly served on the Mexican super-team, Los Hombres, before returning north on a pilgrimage to the legendary (to him) holy site: Salt Lake City, Utah. The Mormodillo remains perplexed to this day as to his lack of popularity both with the public at large and those whom he perceives as his natural allies – the Mormon church and American patriots; he has, however, developed a small following amongst Native Americans and is the unofficial hero of the state of Oklahoma. Still, this following does not compare to the mass following he enjoyed on Earth: Ballam and the absence of such a following continues to upset him. What is more American, after all, than a giant corn chip eating armadillo wielding the holy relics of the Mormon church? “Nothing,” the Mormodillo will tell you.</blockquote>
