Matthew Price Jr. was actually the son of Gloria Travers (Ranger Girl) and the alien villain Super-Brain, who inseminated her as an experiment to obtain a hybrid. Gloria considered having an abortion, but she was not able to. Instead, she changed her appearance and she walked far away. Calling herself Mary Doolin she met a good man named Matthew Price, who wanted to make her his wife and give his surname to her unborn child. Unfortunately, before the baby was born, the couple was involved in a car accident when they crashed into an electrical tower. Matt Price Sr. died instantly, but Gloria and her son miraculously survived completely unharmed. She would later learn that the baby had unconsciously used his psychic powers to protect her. From his birth, Matt Jr. demonstrated intelligence and learning abilities superior to "normal" children. In addition, over the years, he give new samples of those psychic abilities that had saved his mother and himself when he was still in her womb. Fortunately, the boy was smart enough to hide his powers in public. He was also able to discover his true origin for himself and that revelation led him to want to right all the wrong caused by his biological father, using his paranormal abilities for the greater good. As an adult, Matt Jr. was contacted by the Organization of Active Anthropologists, actually a front for DANGER, which made him a kind of double agent within the paranormal community. As Brain Boy he joined other heirs and children of The Crime Busters members to form The Young Heroes Alliance.
Matt and his teammate Gale Leary, aka Jill O'Wisp, became romantically involved.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Brain Boy could read minds, use telekinesis to lift objects or fly himself, control minds, alter emotional states and he was also super intelligent. However, using his powers required a lot of mental energy, especially when he confronted another telepath, and he could quickly become exhausted.
