Golden Age Origin

Magno the Magnetic Man is a playboy adventurer with the super powers of magnetism and invulnerability who fights crime and battles the Axis. He uses his magnetism to fly and to draw or repel metallic objects. Later, he gets a sidekick named Davey. He is never seen in a civilian identity or wearing anything expect his costume. The Clown was his archnemesis, but he also fought villains such as the Cobra and Black Puma.

The two burst patterns on his shirt actually appear to represent the north and south poles of a bar magnet, the bar being more visible in his earlier appearances.
