Germanium Man!

Found this advertisement featuring "Germanium Man" in a 1984 data book on Transistors and scanned it into PDF. Thought you may enjoy.

Their argument for Ge having an advantage over Si was entertaining as well.

Germanium man looks similar to Spectreman, my Saturday morning cartoon hero.
