Well done Quis, got it in one.
It's from Detective Comics 476 - the one with the "Joker Fish"
Your turn.

hmmm... hint time: This character was inspired to become a superhero after hearing about another superhero.

Kind of sounds like it could be Wildcat.

Further quote from the character: "Not Tomato" Oooh, what a giveaway ... and no one else got it?!? "Ma" Hunkel, the Golden Age Red Tornado!
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

Next:
S.1: "Well, thank yer 'boss' -- Mr. Hughes, for me ... I just wish things'd turned out different ...
S.2: "Mr. Who?"
S.1: "Hughes ... Howard Hughes! Y'know -- the big guy you work for!!"
Naming the comic this exchange is from is sufficient, but bonus points if you can name the speakers, and if you know who Speaker 2 really works for.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

The Rocketeer is correct, but Betty's not even in the quoted scene.
Speaker 1 is "Peevy"; Speaker 2 is "Monk" Mayfair (who, of course, works for "Doc" Savage).
Over to Kent Shakespeare.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

I remembered that HH figured into the Rocketeer story, but I couldn't remember Peevy's name, so I only named the two I could remember.
I'll post something tomorrow.

"I don't know her. Never talked to her. Never will. Don't even know her name--our bit out there, it didn't make the papers. But she passes by on her way to school, every day. And I remember that day, twelve years ago. I remember that day. My name is Pete Donacek...I wear a uniform, too."
Obviously, I've given away the name of the character here. Guessing him would really be an obscure bit of trivia. The game here is to guess the series.

Yes, that's it. It's from the first story in the Local Heroes trade.
