This Jeff Gordon Foundation fantasy paint scheme features Might Mouse. Mighty Mouse (originally named "Super Mouse") was created by Paul Terry in 1942 as a parody of Superman. Super Mouse was renamed "Mighty Mouse" in 1944 when Terry learned that Marvel Comics was set to publish a character named Super Mouse. Terry's superhero mouse appeared in 80 theatrical films for 20th Century Fox between 1942 and 1961, on Saturday morining cartoon television between 1955 and 1967, and in numerous comic books and other print media.
