T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agent Leonard Brown is the keeper of the Thunder Belt, which grants its wearer super strength and invulnerability for short periods; hence, the codename, Dynamo.

This cover is a perfect example of artist Wally Wood's uncanny ability to render fantasy tableau that is grounded in reality but infused with a sense of heightened drama. His figures look heroic and accessible, but anatomically sensible, unlike many of the grossly-muscled and overly-ripped counterparts of today.

Dynamo - Issue No. 4, June 1967.

Did I mention the Wally Wood cover art?
