Jughead as Captain Hero

Though Archie had many super-heroes in their inventory like The Fly, by the mid-1960s, making super-heroes out of Archie and the gang seemed like a better bet. So, Archie became Pureheart the Powerful and even got a resulting comic book title while Jughead got this one. The stories are quite good, thankfully. The series premiered in Life With Archie and was spun-off as its own not long after. Later in the 90s, Archie returned to these characters in the Archie’s Super Teens series.
