Brain Boy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brain Boy was a short-lived superhero comic published by Dell Comics in the early 1960s.
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 him mental powers. These power would include telepathy, levitation, and the able to control minds. Graduating from high school, he is recruited by another telepath to work for a secret government agency, fighting against communists and other "enemies of freedom" who are using their own telepathic agents against the West. "Brain Boy" was just his nickname, and he never had any kind of costume.
The first issue was Four Color Comics #1330 in 1962, soon followed by Brain Boy #2. The last issue would be #6 in 1963. Brain Boy was created by Herb Castle and Gil Kane. Frank Springer took over the artwork for the spin-off series.
In a bizarre coincidence, actor/comedian Matt Price played a character named "The Brain" in the 1997 MTV game show "Idiot Savants."
