Mopee was a magical Imp supposedly responsible for granting Barry Allen his speed powers in a story so immediately rejected by Silver Age readers that he was barely ever mentioned again. I was surprised when adding the labels to this post, that I had already featured Mopee once on this blog, way back in 2010, and had completely forgotten about it. I guess that's another tale of his that's been erased from memory!
Captain America and The Flash previously shared an adventure in STF #726...

don't make mopee angery....you wouldn't like him if he was er...oops wrong guy....never mind....lol
I only saw Mopee once, in a comic parody. Where was this image from?
It might be interesting to see Mopee show up on The Flash to "reveal" his involvement, only to have Mxyzptlk show up and bust him for lying.
Other than that, though... yeah, let's wait another decade before we remember him again.
Is the Red Skull/MODOK mashup from a What If...?, or from Marvel's recent self-mashup event?
Bob, it's From the awesome Assistant Editor's Month!
MarchHare, from his original appearance, I assume
I agree with you and my fellow Silver Agers, Ross. Mopee would've been going to the mischievous extra-dimensional alien well, once too often, for DC. I also remember (quite fondly) your Flash trilogy from 2014!
I now wonder if that "demon" might have been the ghost of the Joker from DC's "Dark Matters" multiverse? The one killed off by He-Who-Became-The-Batman-Who-Laughs.
If so, might I humbly suggest a future cover featuring the latter versus...Lord Voldemort? If only to see which of them would be forced to play anti-hero!
Cary said a mouthful in a couple words. DC found Mxyzptlk worked with Superman so Batman got Bat-Mite, Aquaman was given Quisp and Flash got a wet noodle of a Beyonder.
(Tho Martian Manhunter did get Zook.) The irony being with all these magical beings, the then hero of magic, Wonder Woman, never got her own imppet. ((Did the F.F.'s Impossible Man fit in this group?))
Nice to see the Red Sink again.( They threw in everything else that month.)
I remember the Mopee story. Dumb!!!!!
Here’s my master list of imp or imp-like side-kick/adversaries:
Companions to DC Super-Heroes These were clearly "5th dimensional" beings:
Superman - Mxyzptlk
Batman - Bat-Mite
Aquaman - Quisp
Johnny Thunder - Yz, the Thunderbolt
It's less certain that these were:
Wonder Woman - Moon O'Day (twice)
The Flash - Mopee (once and quickly forgotten)
Probably an alien, but …
The Challengers of the Unknown - Cosmo
Martian Manhunter - Zook
Wonder Woman had Moon O’Day, a leprechaun.

As a huge SA Flash fan, I am relieved that I never encountered Mopee in any stories I read! I remember an origin story about a "flash force" of some sort, where Barry happened to be the next in line for the power! I also reject it for canonical Flash story! But I still enjoy Flash whenever you work him into a cover with a good costar or villian or situation!
And, of course, Flash comics have used "Mopee" (unsure of spelling) as an illegal narcotic.
What, where, and how did the Red Skull and MODOK get mashed together?
Totally off topic, an idea inspired by a title: Hank McCoy and Zorro, in "The Mark of the Beast!"
M.O.D.O.G.S MENTAL ORGANISM DESIGNED ONLY for GOOSE STEPPING.
How about a patriotic issue with Cap, Wonder Woman, Super Patriot and the Shield?
As a kid I read that comic and memory went into bit bucket; even with me rereading my entire Flash collection with originals as far back as #109 I do not remember the character Mopee. That is one special superpower.
Don't forget the imp-like Great Gazoo from The Flintstones.
Wait till Alan Moore does Mopee.
Let me get this straight: Aquaman once battled a Post Cereal mascot?!
@Anonymous:
1) Wrong Quisp.
2) And he worked for Quaker Oats!
@Glenn don't forget Miss & MS Victory (AC/Americomics) Liberty Belle (DC Comics) Miss America (Public Domain) Liberty Girl (Heroic Publishing).
Dear BKM: that was Bobbo's suggestion. Not Glenn's.
@Unknown: at a head shop?
