In Captain Atom #46, Superman, Major Force, and the title hero are kidnapped by an alien refugee who’s creating an army of the strongest creatures from various planets. Superman and Captain Atom manage to escape and release all the other prisoners. In this scene, the heroes and aliens are trying to communicate with their kidnapper Kylstar through some alien translating devices. Take a look at the scene, particularly the word balloons, and see if anything catches your eye. (For a larger copy of the panel, click on the image.)

- As far as I can tell, while the farthest right word balloon looks somewhat Kryptonian, it’s not.
Captain Atom #46 was brought to you by Cary Bates and Greg Wiseman (script), Michael Adams (pencils), Romeo Tanghal (inks), and John Workman (lettering). I’m not sure who to blame.
