Tom Wood was a factory worker and a failed inventor. When his brother, Jim, was killed by Big Boston’s gangsters, Tom promised to avenge Jim’s death. He invented a “Micro-Mask,” a full face-mask that contained a built-in microphone which allowed hm to amplify and throw his voice, a hearing amplifier, and “photoelectric lenses” that gave him x-ray vision. He could also attach telephone wires to his mask to make phone calls. Tom offered the invention to the U.S. government, only to be turned down. Regardless, he used it to become “Micro-Face!”
