Publication History
TNT Todd was created by Victor E. Pazmiño and made his first appearance in Keen Detective Funnies Vol. 2 #3, published by Centaur Publications in March 1939.
In the stories, Todd is an investigator and demolitions expert, hence the nickname “”TNT””. He uses his skills and knowledge of explosives to solve cases and fight crime.
Centaur Publications was one of the earliest American comic book publishers, and they introduced a variety of characters in different genres, from superheroes to detective stories. TNT Todd was part of the latter genre, representing the popularity of detective and crime stories during this era.
Todd, an elite FBI field agent, was renowned for his exceptional skill in bomb-making and defusing. Fearlessly confronting perilous situations on the front lines, he had earned a reputation for his unwavering determination and courage. Yet, even with his vast expertise, Todd continuously sought to enhance his abilities.
Driven by his insatiable desire for improvement, Todd embarked on a groundbreaking project to develop a revolutionary bomb defusal technique utilizing an experimental compound, Magnetic X-19. However, during a critical phase of testing, something went catastrophically wrong.
A thick cloud of purple gas engulfed the room, and Todd, unable to escape, inhaled the noxious fumes before losing consciousness. Upon awakening, he was astonished to discover that his hair and eyes had transformed to a vivid purple hue. But the changes went far beyond his appearance—he now possessed the incredible power of TNT, with the ability to generate and manipulate explosive forces.
Initially, Todd reveled in his newfound abilities. His explosive powers allowed him to bring criminals to justice with unprecedented ease, and he swiftly gained recognition as a true hero. However, as time wore on, Todd realized that his extraordinary powers came at a steep price. He grappled with controlling the intensity and magnitude of his explosions, repeatedly placing himself and those around him in mortal danger.
Haunted by the potential consequences of his uncontrollable powers, Todd recognized the urgent need to master them. But the path to control remained elusive. As he continued to wield his explosive abilities, he understood that each use brought him closer to a disastrous tipping point—a point of no return where he could lose control entirely, with catastrophic consequences.
