Mort sponsored by the Atari 2600

The last Mort was hardly fair in all honesty, as Crackerjack Jackson only appeared in one issue (1974's The Incredible Hulk #182). This blog isn't meant to be a review of individual comic books, but the short version of the story is as follows: Hulk has just finished a knockdown, drag-out fight with Wolverine when he hears someone playing the Harmonica. Following the music, Hulk meets Crackerjack Jackson who offers Hulk some of the beans he is warming up over a campfire. Touched by Jackson's kindness, Hulk joins the vagabond for a meal, where he learns that Crackerjack Jackson has a son who is in prison. Cut to a scene just outside of prison where two felons, one of them Crackerjack's son, have just escaped. While escaping, they meet an alien. Scared, the criminal who is not the younger Jackson shoots the alien. In an ironic twist, this is exactly what the alien needs, as he was about to die of hunger, except his race eats metal. As a reward, the alien transforms the criminals into super-criminals, namely Hammer and Anvil. Cut back to Hulk, who decides to help his new friend Crackerjack by helping him break into prison to visit his son. This ironically coincides with Hammer and Anvil also breaking back into prison to get retribution on their jailkeepers. Crackerjack sees his now super powered son and tries to convince him not to commit the crime, but tempers flare and Crackerjack is killed by his own son. After that, well, Hulk Smashes before taking Crackerjack's body and giving it a private burial. All in all, a pretty good self-standing issue of The Incredible Hulk.

Okay, I said that Crackerjack Jackson wasn't fair because he only appeared in one comic book, so the new Mort is at least three times more fair, since he appeared in a grand total of 3 comics. Of course, it was a three-issue story arc of Fantastic Four, but I think that is more than enough exposure for you to figure this guy out. Have fun!
