The Invisible Man ( Adam Clayton
)
1st app.- Strange Tales #67
Not long after his graduation from college, Adam Clayton perfected his Vibra-Light, a device which would bombard him with vibrating light particles, to speed up the vibrations of his own atomic structure. By bathing himself in these beams, Clayton was granted superhuman speed, and set out to test himself. Along the way, he found criminals robbing a bank and stole the money from them. The confused criminals thought they were dealing with an invisible man, and soon Clayton was known in the papers as "The Invisible Man." Deciding that he liked the notoriety, Clayton returned the money he had taken to the police, and set out performing good deeds to maintain the public's attention.
As the Invisible Man, Clayton saved a man from being struck by a falling safe, spun a man in mid-air for fun, delivered a mailman's mail, beat a champion boxer, built a house, and took the tires off a pair of teenagers' buggy.
Unfortunately, Clayton then discovered that the changes in his atomic structure were such that the more he used his superhuman speed, the more he aged. In the few days he had spent as the Invisible Man, he had aged 40 years into an old man. No longer able to use his power of super speed, Clayton was forced to settle into life as a slow, old man.
