Jim Morita

First Appearance: Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos #38 (January, 1967)


Eagle-eyed audience members might have caught a few clues in the office of Principal Morita (Kenneth Choi), who has a scene in which he warns Peter about keeping his academic career on track. In the corner of Morita’s office is a black-and-white photo of a military serviceman. That’s actually another Morita — Private Jim Morita, one of the Captain America’s Howling Commandos from “Captain America: The First Avenger.”
