Owner's Description
Captain Future makes his debut and adorns the cover on this solid 6.5 copy.
The Cap's origin was interesting as scientist Andrew Bryant discovered that bathing himself in a combination of gamma and infrared rays would grant him superpowers; he then used these powers to fight crime. His powers include super-strength, flight, and the ability to hurl bolts of energy from his hands. Note that gamma rays were used a long time before the Hulk and the FF.
The fun part with the Cap is that blows to the head can render him unconscious, and he must frequently use his radiation machine to recharge his powers. For someone super-strong this was a corny weakness - makes you see how brilliant Kryptonite was.
