[2] Hoppy debuted in Fawcett's Funny Animals #1, and appears in nearly every issue of that comic's run.

[7] After Fawcett cancelled Funny Animals, the rights to many of its characters were purchased by Charlton Comics.

A modernized version of Hoppy appears in the revamped New 52/DC Rebirth interpretation of Shazam!, beginning in 2012.

[11] As revealed in the origin story from Fawcett's Funny Animals #1, Hoppy is a fan of Captain Marvel.

Surprisingly, the magic word transforms Hoppy into Captain Marvel Bunny.

in The Oz-Wonderland War #2, Captain Marvel Bunny has the wisdom of Salamander, the strength of Hogules, the stamina of Antlers, the power of Zebreus, the courage of Abalone, and the speed of Monkury.

In The New 52 reboot, Hoppy is a non-anthropomorphic rabbit and the pet of Mary Bromfield who she inadvertently gives superpowers.

He is empowered by a different group of deities, consisting of Salamander, Hogules, Antlers, Zebreus, Abalone, and Monkury.

In American Comic Book Chronicles: 1940-1944, Kurt Mitchell and Roy Thomas wrote: "It was cover star Hoppy the Marvel Bunny who made FFA special.

Creator Chad Grothkopf struck a balance in his stories between the usual cartoon animal tropes, fairy tale-style fantasy, and full-tilt super-heroics, the strip's only sticking point the tiresome gimmick of Hoppy never being able to remember his magic word.

Whether battling piscine pirate Captain Kid Perch, the Witch, King Artist of Picture Land, or Simon Spider and his living dolls, Marvel Bunny always delivered big laughs and plenty of action".
