Two correct- Mon-El, of course, but Micky Moran was never called Captain Marvel, I guess even in the 50s UK that would have been copyright trouble. He started out as basically Billy Batson/Captain Marvelesque-but-legally-nonidentical hero named Marvelman, and he was (and is) known as Miracleman in the US.
