Brain Boy

Brain Boy was a short-lived 2013 American comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics, with story by Fred Van Lente and art by R. B. Silva. It was based on the equally short-lived 1962-1963 Dell Comics publication of the same title. Both titles centered on the adventures of Matt Price, AKA "Brain Boy," a young man who gains powerful telepathic abilities after a tragic accident. He is recruited by the U.S. Secret Service to fight Communists and other threats to the United States.

A four-issue follow-up titled Brain Boy: The Men from G.E.S.T.A.L.T. followed in 2014.
