After debuting a Captain Future pulp, publisher Ned Pines launched a completely different Captain Future in Startling Comics 1. CaptainFuture sponsored
\nCaptain Future, the lead character of the debut of Startling Comics, might be one of the most confusing characters in Golden Age comic book history. The pulp character of that name was, according to legend, created by Standard Magazines editors Mort Weisinger and Leo Margulies during 1939's 1st World Science Fiction Convention. But between that moment and the time that he hit Startling Comics #1 the next year, Captain Future would take some odd turns on his way to the comic book page.
\nThe comic book version of the character was a scientist named Dr. Andrew Bryant, working for the Pacific Electrical Corporation. In a desperate attempt to justify his expensive experiments to corporate management, he combined infrared rays with gamma rays, resulting in an accident that bombards him with radiation, giving him an incredible range of superpowers, including super strength, flight, and the ability to shoot energy bolts from his hands.
