Origin[]
Brad Lane was a brilliant and muscle bound inventor and detective who used radios and radio technology to fight crime. His weapons included bugs, microphones, wiretaps, and other technology that was virtually unheard of at the time. He also built an android duplicate of himself to fool a would-be assassin.
He stopped the Communist Russian agent Marnee in his attempt to use the "Master Wave" weapon to shut down all communications and electronics across the globe!
