Star Spangled Sidekicks[]
The episode begins with Doctor Diablos summoning his demons to go and rob a bank. Then, Major Glory flies in with an american flag and the throws it piercing the chest of a demon. Major Glory punches out two other demons and beats up Doctor Diablos. Then, he announces that he has saved the day again and the words "THE END" appear on screen. Then, it shows that this is happening on a TV that is being watched by Dexter and Dee Dee who are sitting on the couch dressed as Major Glory. Just then, Major Glory announces on the TV that he is looking for a sidekick and will be holding a competition at the mall tomorrow for who is going to become his sidekick.
The next day at the mall, a news announcer is there announcing Major Glory being at the mall holding tryouts for his sidekick. There are tons of people lined up to be his sidekick and Major Glory is at the tryout desk. The person who is having his tryouts is a kid named Fatboy who says that he can take a bite out of crime. He takes out a fork and eats Major Glory's lunch with it. Major Glory rejects him and calls for the next person to come up. Just then, there is the noise of Dexter talking describing himself. He then jumps out with his costume on and introduces himself as "Dexstar". Major Glory is amazed and says that he is perfect for being his sidekick. Then Dee Dee comes out introducing herself as "Diva Dynamite" and Major Glory is amazed by her more and picks her instead rejecting Dexter.
Then, Doctor Diablos busts in and he declares revenge on Major Glory and sends out his demons to attack him. Major Glory starts fighting them all and then Dee Dee tries to do it too but before she does, Dexter knows that she is not going to be able to stop them but he doesn't do anything about it. Then, he sees that Doctor Diablos has smashed a column and a rock has fallen out of it and hit Dee Dee on the head. Dexter says that nobody attacks his sister like that but him. Dexter uses his weapons to attack Doctor Diablos and his Demons whenever Dee Dee does. Dee Dee does not notice him doing that and she thinks that she is doing that. After the battle is over Major Glory accepts to Dee Dee being his sidekick but then Dee Dee says that she is going to have to decline to that because she has to take care of the exhausted Dexter instead. So Major Glory sadly goes away with Fatboy instead and the episode ends.
Say Uncle Sam[]
On Monday, Major Glory orders Valhallen and Krunk to assemble, but they are preoccupied with watching TV. Major Glory reminds them that they have been slacking with their superhero duties and remind them that Uncle Sam is coming to visit on Saturday. He then explains to them how Uncle Sam was strict to him as a child and wanted everything to be perfect. Adhering to his pleas, both Krunk and Valhallen head to the kitchen and respond to Major Glory's call, but get stuck in the doorway.
On Tuesday, Major Glory, Valhallen, and Krunk are drinking coffee. Major Glory orders them to drink their coffee while extending their pinkies. Valhallen is successful, but Krunk struggles. As Major Glory urges to do so, Krunk opens his pinky, flicking Major Glory away in the process.
On Wednesday, Major Glory helps Krunk walk straight while balancing a stack of books on his head. Krunk walks toward the fan, which hits Major Glory and knocks him off the books. On Thursday, Major Glory orders Krunk and Valhallen to clean up the messy apartment. Valhallen uses his ax to clean the living room with sound waves, Majory Glory does the dishes, and Krunk cleans his room by breaking the floor and dumping all of his furniture into the apartment below him.
On Friday, Major Glory has Valhallen dress as a famous baseball player and Krunk dress as a businessman. Finally, it is Saturday and Major Glory anticipates Uncle Sam's arrival. He has Valhallen and Krunk run through more practice drills. The two are fed up with Major Glory's overboating and beat him up, leaving the apartment a mess once more.
Valhallen lets Uncle Sam in, and to the Justice Friends' surprise, Uncle Sam is a hippie. Valhallen and Krunk immediately welcome him in, but Major Glory faints, to which Uncle Sam encourages him to chill.
Pain in the Mouth[]
After Krunk started suffering from a severe toothache, Valhallen tried telling him to go see a dentist, but was stopped by a paranoid Major Glory who was fearful of the dentist, which lead to a fight between him and Valhallen. Major Glory wanted use both the superheroes and villains to get it loose. However, Valhallen disagreed and insisted in going to the dentist to get it removed properly. He tells Major Glory that dentists have the knowledge and tools to remove the problem. He still rebuffed Valhallen's claims until Krunk decides to make a quick trip to the dentist and was proven wrong. Major Glory paid the price for his mistake when he had to get his own teeth checked by the dentist and it revealed his own neglect in his dental hygiene.
The Powerpuff Girls[]
Major Glory makes a special appearance in The Powerpuff Girls episode "Members Only", where he is shown as the leader of the "Association of World Super Men", or A.W.S.M. (awesome) for short. He refused to let the girls join in A.W.S.M. despite Blossom beating him in the Test of Heroism in the Field.
Major Glory's chauvinistic attitude was his downfall when a supervillain named Mascumax took advantage of him and the other male superheroes where he defeated them until he was repelled by the Powerpuff Girls. Afterward, Major Glory asked the Powerpuff Girls if he and his fellow superheroes can join their team and they obliged him, with the Association of World Super Men becoming the Society of Associated Puffketeers.
Appearance[]
Major Glory is a tall light-skinned man whose true face is always being concealed by his iconic golden mask. His only visible facial features are his large chin and pearly white teeth. His attire is very patriotic and has several references to American symbolism, especially the US flag. His helmet is golden and is made in the image of a bald eagle. His suit is mainly white but comes with a red belt and the top has a blue color-scheme with white stars like the US flag, making it truly star-spangled. His cape is long and flowing with red and white stripes like the flag. He also wears blue boots and gloves.
In the Powerpuff Girls episode "Members Only", Major Glory's outfit was quite different, with his top being completely blue and only having one star while also wearing red underwear-like tights like most generic superheroes. His belt also had a gold buckle.
Personality[]
Major Glory is a proud and patriotic superhero who is courageous in battle and loves his country above all else, and because of this, he is viewed as an upstanding figure in the superhero community who is quite popular with the Press. However, in his private life, Major Glory is quite a neat freak with a number of fears and obsessive habits. He appears to be a bit of a germaphobe who prefers that things be neat and clean, and he also has a deep fear of bees and dentists, and will reduce into a paranoid coward willing to go to great lengths to avoid confronting his fears.
It was the result of his severe training and upbringing by Uncle Sam. Major Glory is very sentimental and occasionally over-dramatic when it comes to his friends and/or emotional moments, almost treating them like family at times rather than roommates/teammates, showing that he greatly cares about his closest friends in spite of their arguments.
Abilities[]
Major Glory flying with Dexter in hand.
Major Glory is a powerful superhero with numerous superpowers which aid in his battle against evil and he might be one of the strongest heroes in the series alongside Monkey, Valhallen and Krunk. Major Glory possesses the standard abilities of super strength and flight possessed by most members of the Justice Friends, as well as super speed and stamina which he has had since he was a child. Major Glory is also nigh-invulnerable to fatal damage and can even survive in space, however he can still feel pain even if it does no permanent damage to him, which makes his invulnerability somewhat ineffective in that regard as he can even pass out from too much pain. Aside from these physical attributes, Major Glory also has several eye-related superpowers and his toy line also implies that he has many other unseen superpowers. The fact that he was one of the few heroes summoned by Rasslor to represent his planet further proves that he is one of the most powerful heroes on Earth.
Superpowers[]
- Super Strength: Major Glory has displayed great strength and is strong enough to take out Doctor Diablos' minions easily with his bare fists, however his strength pales in comparison to that of the Krunk's herculean might and Monkey's powerful blows.
Major Glory uses his super speed to clean dishes.
- Super Speed: Major Glory has had super speed since childhood and can clean up messes and wash the dishes in less than a second. Even as a child he could run 500 laps around the world in a matter of seconds while showing very little fatigue. Showing that he also possesses super stamina. It is unknown if he is still this fast even as an adult.
- Flight: Major Glory has shown the ability to fly in almost any environment, including space, at great speeds.
- Star-Spangled Laser Vision: Major Glory can shoot powerful lasers out of his eyes that have shining stars on them like the American flag. The power of this vision varies, occasionally burning things, breaking things without burning them, instantly disintegrating messes and leaving behind clean areas, and melting a whole car (last one used by his action figure).
- X-Ray Vision: Major Glory is capable of seeing through certain objects such as Valhallen's messy locks.
- Super Arctic Wind Breath: His freezing breath can instantly turn any object into frozen ice. Major Glory has never technically used this one during the series and was only seen being used by his action figure, however he was officially shown to use it in Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion.
- Freedom Armor: Major Glory has never technically used this one and was only seen being used by his action figure, which implies that he can use it as well. This golden armor instantly equips itself onto Major Glory's body and gives him powerful eagle claw gauntlets.
- All-American Cloaking Device: Major Glory has never technically used this one and was only seen being used by his action figure, which implies that he can use it as well. This American device when activated surrounds Major Glory with red, white and blue diamonds which then allow him to become invisible.
- Justice Frenzy: A powerful technique in which Major Glory joins up with Krunk and Valhallen to create a powerful super tornado that can take out any foe in their way, except bees.

Trivia[]
- He is a parody of Marvel Comics' Captain America and DC Comics' Superman.
- The Major Glory featured in The Powerpuff Girls is entirely a different version from the one featured on Dexter's Laboratory, due to his team affiliations and chauvinistic attitude.
- In Dexter's Laboratory, Major Glory was the leader of the Justice Friends, not the Association of World Super Men. The Justice Friends featured at least one female member, Miss Spell, and allowed the membership of the mentally deficient Infraggable Krunk. Due to this, traits featured by the original version of Major Glory, such as his upbringing and fear of dentists, are not considered pertinent to this version of the character since the two shows do not share continuity, any traits displayed by the original version.
