Easter Bunny Mort
Walter Kovacs was Rorshach in the fictional Watchmen universe, a dystopian future where America won the Super Hero arms race, Nixon repealed the 22nd amendment and won his fifth Presidential term, and the world moves ever closer to Nuclear Holocaust. The passage of the Keene Act, which required all Super Heroes to register with the government (yeah, DC thought of it first), has made the streets a dangerous place for the common American civilian. Rorshach is the one hero who chose Captain America's side. He's also a paranoid psychotic with homicidal tendencies. As Randy and I discussed in the comments, Watchmen isn't for everybody, but it's not as bad as you would guess and certainly worth an attempted reading if you get the chance.
Just in time for an Easter, I have this latest Mort. Enjoy.

So who would win a fight between Marvel Bunny and Bugs Bunny when Bugs ate those irradiated carrots and got superpowers? You know, the one where Bugs joins teh Marines at the end because they're "real heroes."

I'm going to go with Captain Carrot - sans Zoo Crew.
Although, I do like Randy's explanation better.

Do you think the talking tiger was ever jealous that the bunny got superpowers but he didn't?

Tawky-Tawny is a pretty good character, and he doesn't need super powers because (at least in the silver age) he was an ace detective. Tawny also appears in the recent "Shazam and the Monster Society of Evil" mini series, which is pretty good.
As per the first question, since Bugs was based off of Superman, I would say that Bugs would win a battle between a super-powered Bugs and our mort (who may or may not be "Marvel Bunny". However, Captain Carrot would beat them both up.

Super Bugs was based off Superman, but I think his powers worked more more like Hourman. If Marvel Bunny could just keeping the fight going long enough the carrots would wear off and he would knock Bugs back into Merry Melodies.
