Electroman


    Dan Watkins was once known throughout the underworld as the larcenous "Fingers." "Fingers" was sent to the electric chair for a murder he did not commit. Amazingly, he survives having 200,00 volts of current shot through him. Moreover, as the prison doctor tells the Warden, the shock has removed the mental imbalance that made "Fingers" a criminal. Pronounced legally dead, the now bald "Fingers" tracks down the real killer, the evil Baron Kotzbue. But the Baron captures Dan, ties him to a high voltage electric cable, and gives him a fatal shot of juice.  Z-Z-Z-Z-POW! This second powerful electric shock alters the molecular structure of Dan’s body, giving him electrical powers! Donning a colorful costume, Dan Watkins is now the super-strong Electroman! He can deflect bullets, fly, and hurl bolts of electricity! Even a spinning propeller blade cannot harm the Electroman! Afterwards, Dan can resume his human form by simply grounding his body. When he wants to become Electroman, he touches a live wire or a switch and he is super-charged once again!
