Brain Boy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brain Boy was a short-lived superhero comic, created by Herb Castle and artist Gil Kane, published by Dell Comics in 1962 and 1963.[1]
Brain Boy was Matt Price. When his mother was still pregnant with him, a car accident with an electrical tower killed his father and gave Matt mental powers. These powers included telepathy, levitation, and the ability to control minds. After graduating from high school, Matt is recruited by another telepath to work for a secret government agency fighting against communists and other "enemies of freedom" using their own telepathic agents against the West. "Brain Boy" was just Matt's nickname, and he never wore a costume.[2]
