POLICE

Well done Captain Misunderstood you gave those evil terrorist bastards what for and saved those school kids.

CAPTAIN

Thanks Officer Giblet, but I did it for the kids. Like little Jimmy here hey champ.

GIVES JIMMY A FATHERLY RUFFLE OF THE HAIR.

JIMMY

What are you doing?

CAPTAIN

I beg your pardon?

WOMEN IN THE CROWD.

You touched him, are you his dad or something?

CAPTAIN

No I was trying to be supportive.

JIMMY STARTS TO CRY

JIMMY

When you're an orphan, every one just thinks you're nothing (SOBBING) it's like you belong to every one in authority.

POLICE

Excuse me Captain Misunderstood are you on the child protection register?

CAPTAIN

What the hell I'm a superhero.

WOMAN

So wearing tights and a big cape entitles you to touch up other peoples children?

CAPTAIN

Yes I mean no, I mean those terrorists had a death ray.

MAN FROM CROWD

I bet f**king Jonathon King wished he had a death ray.

WOMAN

And Garry Glitter, you perverted swine.

POLICE

I think you'd better go.

CAPTAIN MISUNDERSTOOD LEAVES TO LOUD BOOING

CAPTAIN

I suppose I'd better stay over with Captain Necrophilia, but I'm scared to sleep.

Great and ingenious, though had to reread the punchline. Assuming it's 'cos the Captain Necrophilia might think he's dead when he's asleep.

Had anticipated a Jackson joke, well restrained on that count.

I'm almost starting to feel sorry for him.

Punchline is weak though I may ruminate on that.

Liked this

Enjoyed muchly.

Not sure if it even needs the last line.

Hey, this is great! Brilliant idea to have the crowd turn on a superhero just because he ran his fingers through the lad's hair. Lose the last line and have him leave on the booing, crowd chucking cans etc. Nice one.
