Anthony Dunn was a scientist and employee of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. who sought to escape his aged body and become immortal by transferring his consciousness into the “electrical impulses” of an android brain. This consciousness could also switch between different bodies at will. Nor was this his only power, for T.H.U.N.D.E.R. gave him an invisibility cloak invented by the late Professor Jennings, once a colleague and collaborator of Dunn. He took on the name of NoMan and became a founding member of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. NoMan’s bodies are vastly complex machines which cost millions of dollars each to make. They are far closer to organic bodies than those of a typical robot. They apparently need to breathe. NoMan is seen wearing space suits several times. Given NoMan’s intense romantic attractions, may have been “fully functional,” as well. However, the suits displayed a resistance to knockout gas and the mind-controlling drugs of the Tarantula. They possess superhuman strength, though not on the level of Dynamo. If one of his bodies is destroyed, NoMan can survive as long as there is another body within range to transmit his consciousness into. He can only inhabit one body at a time. In several cases, NoMan used specially-built bodies modeled after others for infiltration missions. In less significant missions, he sometimes disguised himself with a strangely realistic rubber or plastic mask. Though he has many bodies, NoMan only has one cloak, and he has often had to fight to recover it… Enemies of NoMan include Paschke, Demo and the Image. Notes: Tower Comics never registered its titles with the US copyright office and also did not include a correct copyright notice on their books. According to US copyright law all works published between 1923-1977 that did not comply with copyright law became public domain upon publication. Also the copyright notice on the first issues of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents and NoMan were not in the proper location of the book which under copyright law at the time it was published must be “either upon the title page or upon the first page of text of each separate number or under the title heading.” Secondly, they were hidden in the artwork which goes against this “The notice should be permanently legible to an ordinary user of the work under normal conditions of use and should not be concealed from view upon reasonable examination.” So, the first issue had an incorrect notice and the characters fell into the public domain.
