Continuing from this thread .

Current Question:

What hero's origin involves receiving the gift of a "robot brain" from a dying alien in a crashed flying saucer?

Hints:

This is a character from a short-lived series from the early 50s created by Wally Wood whose name is Captain "X", where "X" stands for a broad concept.

It is not Captain Cyborg, Captain Comet, Captain Universe, Captain Canuck, Captain Robot, or Captain Thunder, or Captain Freedom.

^^Note this is over nine years before the debut of Hal Jordan.

Like, way far.

Not as flashy as Hal Jordan's, but cool nonetheless!

Who is "key-chain"?

Clue - it's a nickname given to a Justice Leaguer.

Wonder Woman

(I'm thinking she lassoed the Key, and Atom or someone called her that. Just guessing.)

Nope.

Another hint: it's based on that Leaguer's real name.

Agreed! nod

In a similar vain--most characters refer to the Hulk's alter ego as Bruce. But one person used to regularly call him 'Bobby'. Who & Why?

Here's a wild guess - was it Bruce's grandfather, who called him that because his real name was Robert and he'd call him Bobby when he was a kid?
