“The Mysterious Radioactive Man!”

In "The Mysterious Radioactive Man!", Dr. Kelso’s experimental "Brain Thief" device goes horribly wrong, stripping him of control and turning the Link into a man on the run—both from his own mind and the law. With Lita Munro caught in the crossfire and the police closing in, the Link’s transformation unleashes a terrifying power he can’t fully understand. Written by Alf Wallace and illustrated by Luis Bermejo, with a striking cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone, this 1967 IPC classic delivers a pulse-pounding tale of identity, madness, and the cost of scientific ambition.

Dr. Kelso subjects the Link to the effects of his newest invention, "The Brain Thief". However, Kelso's brain is overwhelmed by the process and he loses all self-will. The Link tells Kelso to free him and then to write a full confession of his crimes. The Link calls Lita Munro and arranges to meet her. Munro's telephone line is being tapped by the police. They turn up at the rendezvous point and try to arrest him. He goes crazy, transforms (like the Hulk does but without ripping his clothes) and chases them off. When he has calmed down he tells Lita he doesn't want to see her again.
