Honours - Captain Marvel:
Not only does Billy Batson win the award for Outstanding Radio Work of the Year, but he has his ver own fan club! (Whiz Comics 015, 1941)
Honours - Smasher Spy:
Spy Smasher, turned evil and sometimes but mostly not known as Smasher Spy, is doing such a good job of sabotaging America that he is offered a medal and a position from the euphemistically-named War Lord by two Nazi stereotypes. If there's one thing that Smasher Spy is, however, it's an equal-opportunity hater, and he rejects a fascist government just as vociferously as a democratic one. (Whiz Comics 018, 1941)
Super-Heroes Attending Costume Parties as Themselves:
Not only does Captain Marvel attend this party as himself but Billy Batson also came in just his street clothes and a mask. The height of arrogance for a young celebrity, and a radio-based one at that!
Please also note the horrible off-brand Mickey Mouse costume worn by Billy's assistant Whitey Murphy. (Whiz Comics 023, 1941)
