What are some really absurd inventions by the genius characters in comic books? I'm mainly interested in young inventors from the public domain (such as the list below) and any inventions that were used by the Legion of Super Heroes. (So, did Brainy have any really absurd inventions? Did any of the other Legion inventors?
And example of what I'm looking for was invented by Dickie Dean - a 'hair magnet'. He used it to lift a woman partially off the ground by her hair and threatened to pick her all the way up if she didn't spill the secrets he was after. I'd like to put a few really absurd inventions that actually made it into comic books into a story I'm writing.
Thanks!

Doc Whacky, a foe turned friend of Midnight (Quality Comics), could invent anything and often did so in wacky ways befitting his name. Of course he was not young but a long white bearded old coot, but he had a young talking monkey (given intelligence and the ability to speak) named Gabby, so there’s that.
