Well, Gino, I'm always happy to bring my vast knowledge of comics history
out of the bottom drawer of my dresser and wear it for all you munchkins to
see.  Being an insider to the comics world, I know many things, and I
believe I can help you here.

There is NO capital of Assyria.  When Dr. Doom conqured it and it's
population of Kree-spawned wombats, he destroyed their capital so that they
would have no symbol of ethnic pride.

And Bullwinkle had antlers the last time I looked.  Wait... yes, he does.

(PS I have no idea about the Creeper question, but your hypothesis seems
 plausible.  Good night.).
