My family name immortalized in comic books

From an email from my grandmother:

"Michal, after what you wrote on the blog about Michael Chabon's book The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, I googled it because NOBODY but NOBODY can write like Chabon! After reading about the plot of the book it reminded me of something that was tucked away in my mind for oh-so-many years.
  

You know that my mother and father were married in New York (in 1917) so we have family there whose name is BOLTAX, like my father's. The thing is, anybody named Boltax is part of our family. I used to visit New York when I was young (mostly in the 30's and 40's) and met a lot of Boltax cousins. A couple of those cousins were "involved" -- I don't  remember exactly how -- in comic books, particularly Superboy. And I remember that there was a character in their comic books named Kandro Boltax!"

So I just looked it up, and the character of Kandro Boltax was President of the Earth during most of his fifteen appearances in DC Comics' Superboy.  Here's his image:

Not bad for a family name that came about because we were tax collectors in Russia!
