[edit] Translated names?

Just curious, as I know the comic was translated into many languages, and in one particular case I remebmer that the Vatican's Latin-promotion agency published a Latin edition; I'd thought the name used was Mus musculus, but that's just a common housemouse, not a muscular one ;-). Any of this sound familiar? And maybe a roster of languages the comic has been translated to, with the translated names, might be a good addition to the article (or any comix article)?Skookum1 19:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure that Mighty Mouse is now partially owned by CBS? Jerry Beck once said on the Golden Age Cartoons forums that Viacom fully owns the Terrytoons.--JFP 19:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

In Argentina, Mighty Mouse was called "El Ratón Atómico" during the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Nowadays, he is called "El Súper Ratón".

Don't know how they will call the upcoming CGI movie.

[edit] Source of his powers?

Anyone know how he got his powers? I recall seeing him eating vitamins (starting at A and ending at "xyz") but it's possible that was some other cartoon. Jeffadams78 16:21, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I think either:

-he's a mouse from Krypton

-he ate Underdog's "super-pills"

-he ate Jerry the Mouse's "super-cheese"

-he ate Bugs Bunny's "super-carrots"

-he was the Wizard Shazam's pet

-he's a Kree mouse

-he was hit by Jenny Johnson's meteor

-he was caught in the middle of a gamma explosion

-he was abducted by the "Taken" aliens

-he drank Chemical X

-he is a mouse from Planet Vegeta

-he has been awakened from the Matrix

[edit] Powers

Moving what follows from the article text. Needs wikifying. Durova^Charge! 02:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

(To be verified) Powers, Abilities, and Equipment:

FLIGHT - Mighty Mouse can fly, usually trailing a mysterious orange energy, which is capable of solidifying for use as a moving platform to carry other characters. He’s swift and agile during flight, able to stop suddenly, to change directions quickly, and to perform complex aerobatic maneuvers with ease.

SUPER STRENGTH AND INVULNERABILITY - Approximately the size of a normal rodent, Mighty Mouse’s formidable super strength and invulnerability belie his tiny figure. The limits of these powers are unknown, but he’s sufficiently strong to effortlessly throw human-sized enemies about 50 meters and tough enough to withstand being engulfed in the blast of a building full of military-grade bombs and ammunition when it explodes.

MAGNOKINESIS - Mighty Mouse can hurl bolts of white lightning from his hands that allow him to mentally control ferrous metal objects.

ATTACK DEFLECTION/REFLECTION - At will, Mighty Mouse can create an invisible deflection field that surrounds his hands, allowing him to deflect attacks or reflect them back at his opponents. To use this power, Mighty Mouse must deliberately hold up both outstretched hands and touch the attack he wishes to influence in this manner. For example, he could alter the path of a stream of water shooting from a fire hose by holding up both hands to block the water. He could then direct the stream of water in an alternate direction or cause it to “home in” on the face of the person holding the fire hose.

X-RAY VISION - As stated above, Mighty Mouse has been seen to use a type of x-ray vision to see through opaque objects

HYPNOSIS - Mighty Mouse has the ability to stare his opponents and even inanimate objects into his command

TIME MANIPULATION - Mighty Mouse has been known to travel through time.
