Keep in mind that these characters made their debut in PRIZE COMICS #44, which was published in August 1944. Which means that this story actually features the truly and actual world's first comic book social worker(!!) -- not Kitty Kelly as originally claimed!
So sit back and learn the origin of the world's actual first comic book social worker (and her boyfriend): Pandora Rogers and Boom Boom Brannigan!
The main character was Professor Dennis Brannigan (AKA "Boom Boom Brannigan"). He had a theory that someone could use a precise understanding of math and science to win any boxing match -- even with minimal physical training. Of course, he bragged about his theory which resulted in him getting challenged to an exhibition match. Right before the fight was set to begin, another boxer smacked Brannigan across the face with a heavy book about Greek Mythology.
Boom Boom then had a vision of Pandora opening a box and allowing the forces of evil to escape into the world. Watching Pandora fret over her misdeed, Brannigan pledges his life to searching out evil and defeating it!
He then came to his senses and used math and science to defeat his boxing opponent:
Shortly afterwards, Brannigan met his manager's daughter: Pandora Rogers! Brannigan was convinced that Pandora Rogers was in fact reincarnated from the original Pandora and pledged his life to helping her overcome societal evils. Because even though Pandora Rogers was a social worker who hated fighting, she hated societal evil even more!
Periodically, Pandora would learn of a problem from her job at the local settlement house and Boom Boom would punch it out of existence. Like the time a bunch of criminals conned some bum into becoming a fall guy for one of their money schemes. Or the time that a bunch of kids got led astray by a fake superhero. Or the time they defeated a bunch of gangsters on a reservation.
And then Boom Boom Brannigan must have uprooted enough of Pandora's evil because we never heard from her again. Despite their close partnership, Boom Boom began focusing nearly exclusively on maintaining his boxing career with help from some goofy guy named Character. It was unfortunate that Pandora basically vanished from Boom Boom's adventures because she'd given a reason for Boom Boom to get involved with righting wrongs. After she left, he just stumbled across bad things -- or more often bad things happened to him or Character and he punched back. His later adventures just seemed more self-serving than his earlier stories.
I really like the idea of a social worker who would stumble across a problem on their case load -- such as a group of teams being tricked into performing acts of crime -- and using the knowledge to make things right. It's a concept that deserves to be revisited.
