Sore Sir’s Apprentices
Context
During the 1970s, confectioner and cakes maker Hostess advertised in major comic books. The advertisements were full-page comics starring Marvel and DC Comics characters (and Hostess products).
These comics were nonsensical and a parody of the most absurd aspects of Silver Age comics. They’re still fondly remembered for their goofiness.
Powers and Abilities
Whenever one’s of Sore Sir’s apprentices (any of the five) is knocked out or killed, he vanishes – only to pop back, hale and hearty, within seconds !
Holy mauve submarine, Batman ! How can we possibly stop them ?!

History
They apparently serve some nefarious modern-day sorcerer known as the Sore Sir. They tried to stop Captain America (Steve Rogers) from getting to their master.
And they would have succeeded too, if not for those meddling Hostess™ cakes !
Description
See illustrations.
Personality
They get a big delight in every bite of Hostess™ cup cakes.
Quotes
“We are ‘the Sore Sir’s Apprentices.‘ He tells us to get Captain America… get Captain America !”
“Sheer wizardry this great great Devil’s food cake ! I forsake my old master ‘Sore Sir’.”
“We want that chocolaty icing, too ! And creamed filling ! [Our] civilizing begins with masterful Hostess cup cakes !”
