Wishing to put their considerable skills to good use, the Brandon triplets, Richard, Barton, and Bruce, don costumes and fight evil around the world as Chemix, Lectra, and Menta, the Triple Terror. In early adventures, they usually fought to prevent dangerous new technologies from falling into enemy hands, sometimes at the request of the US Government. In later adventures, they joined the Army and fought in both the European and Pacific Theaters of World War II. Their enemies included a female villain in a rat costume named “The Rat,” and a cabal of Nazi sympathizers called the Silver Swastikas. The Triple Terror team included Barton Brandon as Chemix, the chemistry expert, who wore a beaker symbol on his chest and back, Richard Brandon as Lectra, the electronics expert, who wore a lightning bolt symbol on his chest and back, and Bruce Brandon as Menta, the master of men’s minds, who wore an all-seeing-eye symbol on his chest and back. In addition to their respective expertise in the sciences, the Brandon boys were extremely athletic, good climbers, and exceptional fighters. Menta could pilot an aircraft, and they all seemed to be familiar with military weapons, equipment, and tactics.
