Mickey Mouse. Modarchod?
Just curious, as I know the comic was translated into many languages, and in one particular case I remebmer that the Vatican's Latin-promotion agency published a Latin edition; I'd thought the name used was Mus musculus, but that's just a common housemouse, not a muscular one ;-). Any of this sound familiar? And maybe a roster of languages the comic has been translated to, with the translated names, might be a good addition to the article (or any comix article)?

Are you sure that Mighty Mouse is now partially owned by CBS? Jerry Beck once said on the Golden Age Cartoons forums that Viacom fully owns the Terrytoons.--

In Argentina, Mighty Mouse was called "El Ratón Atómico" during the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Nowadays, he is called "El Súper Ratón".
Don't know how they will call the upcoming CGI movie.
Anyone know how he got his powers? I recall seeing him eating vitamins (starting at A and ending at "xyz") but it's possible that was some other cartoon. Jeffadams78 16:21, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

(To be verified) Powers, Abilities, and Equipment:
FLIGHT - Mighty Mouse can fly, usually trailing a mysterious orange energy, which is capable of solidifying for use as a moving platform to carry other characters. He’s swift and agile during flight, able to stop suddenly, to change directions quickly, and to perform complex aerobatic maneuvers with ease.
SUPER STRENGTH AND INVULNERABILITY - Approximately the size of a normal rodent, Mighty Mouse’s formidable super strength and invulnerability belie his tiny figure. The limits of these powers are unknown, but he’s sufficiently strong to effortlessly throw human-sized enemies about 50 meters and tough enough to withstand being engulfed in the blast of a building full of military-grade bombs and ammunition when it explodes.
MAGNOKINESIS - Mighty Mouse can hurl bolts of white lightning from his hands that allow him to mentally control ferrous metal objects.
ATTACK DEFLECTION/REFLECTION - At will, Mighty Mouse can create an invisible deflection field that surrounds his hands, allowing him to deflect attacks or reflect them back at his opponents. To use this power, Mighty Mouse must deliberately hold up both outstretched hands and touch the attack he wishes to influence in this manner. For example, he could alter the path of a stream of water shooting from a fire hose by holding up both hands to block the water. He could then direct the stream of water in an alternate direction or cause it to “home in” on the face of the person holding the fire hose.
X-RAY VISION - As stated above, Mighty Mouse has been seen to use a type of x-ray vision to see through opaque objects
HYPNOSIS - Mighty Mouse has the ability to stare his opponents and even inanimate objects into his command
TIME MANIPULATION - Mighty Mouse has been known to travel through time.

Does the section about lab mice really belong in this article?-- Iclavdivs ( talk) 20:51, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
As a child, and don't even try to ask how long ago that was!, I specifically remember MM reaching into his belt buckle and taking out a piece of Swiss cheese before entering battle, ala Popeye. I don't see any mention of this at all, but I recall that clearly. I even tried eating a piece of Swiss cheese before my older brother tried to beat me up. He did:( Cheese does NOT work - at all:(
According to Gene Deitch, Mighty Mouse was actually created by Art Bartsch. But this Page and some sources say that Isadore Klein created Mighty Mouse, can somebody conform this, please.

I once saw the origin of Supermouse. He was an ordinary mouse who got into a supermarket, where he ate superpeas and supercarrots, and other superfoods until he became super. I remember being quite pleased to see this episode, then afterward I was confused. I had seen the origin of Supermouse, but that character is called Mighty Mouse. It was many, many years before I established that Mighty Mouse was indeed once called Supermouse. Randall Bart Talk 03:25, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
This article is more than a little biased in its treatment of the controversy surrounding Mighty Mouse's alleged use of cocaine. The footage in question showed him pulling a handful of white powder from under his cape and snorting it. What would that have looked like to any objective viewer? CBS certainly wasn't forthcoming in their explanation of the scene. Some said he was sniffing his "lucky chunk of cheese", while others said he was sniffing "crushed flowers". They never explained why either of these substances were white and powdery, or why Mighty Mouse would be snorting them. 97.73.64.155 ( talk) 00:11, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
It appears that someone tried to draw his impression on Mighty Mouse and ended up with what he called the "Rape Rodent". Consequently, Carlos Ramirez, a devianART user known as Whynne tried to copy this Rape Rodent under his own impression but ended up creating the all known Trollface. Shouldn't this be added somewhere here? Source: http://meme.wikia.com/wiki/Rape_Rodent, http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trollface-coolface-problem Engalazillo ( talk) 13:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
I put a link to dialogue a few weeks ago which someone unlinked, saying it wasn't "needed." First off, I am astonished that anyone would remove a link. Secondly, if we only link to terms that are "needed," then half of Wikipedia links would disappear tomorrow. We also link to terms that will be of interest to our readers and to help them better understand the article. Not everyone who reads Wikipedia articles is a well-educated, native-speaker of English. Now, whoever removed the link is free to remove it again. I don't care and I don't have the time or interest to get involved with this beyond today. But he or she should realize it is only a matter of time before someone else links to it and frankly, I think the "unlinker's" time could be better spent trying to discover the exact date Mighty Mouse made his debut rather than insisting that everyone who reads this article already knows what dialogue means and isn't interested in reading about it again.

The obvious way to shorten this article is to move the Movie Shorts/TV Episodes to its own article. Twofingered Typist ( talk) 21:38, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
