Wow!, Phantom Skull, we sure have had some interesting profiles here,
but this has to be the strangest profile on...

Volto
from Mars


Sometime in 1946

    In a factory somewhere in America, a boy stands on a balcony overlooking an exotic plane.

    "Golly Joe! What is it?"
    Joe replies: "Our experimental rocket plane... want to see it close up?"

    The little boy and Joe descend from the upper landing to inspect the rocket plane, when suddenly...

    "Something’s wrong. She's starting to smoke!" Joe yells out. "Beat it! She'll blow up sky high!"
    Suddenly, the flaming rocket ship roars toward them.
    "Look out! Here it comes!" shouts Joe.
    "If only Volto were here!" exclaims the boy.
    Then amazingly, out of nowhere...
    "I am here, chum! Watch! My left hand repels!"
    An excited Joe screams out: "Look! Lil's fainted...she'll fall into the fire!"
    "I'll take care of her," responds Volto. "See--my right hand attracts!"
    Volto from Mars uses his super-magnetic powers to avert disaster when the atom-express runs wild!
    "How can we ever say thanks?" asks a grateful Joe.
    "Forget it, just give me some whole-grain vitamin-totin' cereal so I can recharge my magnetism," replies the pupil-less Volto.
    "Coming up, Volto!" Joe says, as he hands Volto a bowl and a picture of milk. "We got Grape-Nuts Flakes right here in our lab kitchen... they pack a lot of energy."
    "They sure do!" replies Volto. "Wish I could get this swell-tasting cereal up on Mars."
    "These Grape-Nuts Flakes really are the nuts!" chimes in the boy.
