According to Comic Book Resources, the 1960s character Brain Boy will return in a new series from Dark Horse to be written by Fred Van Lente.  Freddie Williams II provided the art at CBR.

Brain Boy got mental powers when his pregnant mother was in a car accident involving an electrical tower. (Yes, it’s extremely unlikely even by 1960s superhero origins.)

The reason I liked Brain Boy? His given name is Matt Price.  While that’s by no means an uncommon name –

besides myself, I know of at least 5 others — it’s cool to have a superhero that shares my name.

The character, along with a new character, Blackout, will appear in “Dark Horse Presents” and in their own titles.
