Hillary Gomez
South American composer from the Dell comic book Brain Boy (Apr-Jun 1962). He's "...the greatest composer of scores for the modern ballet- as well as the best conductor-- the 20th century has yet produced...." Gomez fled his home country of Xochtan due to the dictatorship of General Droz. Now he is heading back for a music festival. American telepath Mark Price, aka "Brain Boy" is sent by a secret American government agency to protect him.
Unfortunately, it's a complicated trap set up by Droz to punish Gomez. Gomez is kidnapped, drugged, and replaced with a double. The double renounces capitalism and praises the party at his festival speech. But then the double is suddenly double-crossed by Droz and gunned down, and Droz blames the murder on Americans and cancels the festival.
Brain Boy uses his mind-reading and controlling powers to figure out the plot, track down and save Gomez, and escape a tank attack by Droz's own power-hungry telepath, Ricorta. He gets Gomez safely back to America.
