However, due to a steel shortage in the country, Captain Malvio was forced to make his Cosmic Man out of tin and other lesser metals and that all his intended super-feats would have to be well executed frauds, in order to lull the public into a false state of trust so that Cosmic Man can carry out his intended mission.
