Bronze Avengers fans may remember Tom Thumb, an almost pathetic character from the Squadron Supreme battles in issues #143-149 or so (1976). I remember that he and his cronies (Capt Hawk?? Amphibion?? ) fought the Beast and Hellcat in issue #148....
(pause)
I just found the comic. This is classic writing (Engelhart), so I thought I'd share:
Tom Thumb: "You giant fool! All my life, I've used my brain to make up for my height, but you want to feel my power, you will! You probably don't see the advantage I have in being small ---"
To which the Beast, holding Tom's head at arm's length while the little guy flails away feebly with his little arms, responds: "You're right, grumpy - I don't - and by the way, who're you calling a giant??" BONK!
Sighhh...they don't write dwarfs or midgets like they used to.....
