Was Volto's Secret Identity Euell Gibbons?

Well, frell - i seem to have missed another day or two while off in my head. Again.

Mind the gap.

For a quickie to get things rolling today, let's go for another ADventure - this time with Volto From Mars. ADventures, as you may or may not recall, are what we call those old comic advertisements that were done in comic strip format.

So - what do might a hero named Volto be advertising? Batteries? Electronic Build Kits? Breakfast Cereal?

Um, yeah...   that last one.
I don't follow the logic here, but since there may not have been any involved, let's just move right along. 

So then, what were Volto's electric powers to earn that name?
Magnetism? Kinda/sorta but without the ferrous requirements? He's got repulsion and attraction powers - Always in that order; first the left hand repels then the right hand attracts, then we eat breakfast.

Let's take a look -

Yeah, more than a tad repetitive and bland.
So, maybe they did put a bit of thought into product representation?
(Sorry all you fans of the stuff)
