HISTORY 

Dr. Travers, Harry's father, created an American champion, the artificial man named Yankee Doodle Jones. Harry became the Dandy and together the two joined the Secret Warriors, the Battle Squadron or the Crime Busters. They fought against the Nazis in WWII, against crime and supervillains on the streets of Dynamic City and shared many more adventures. Much later, Harry received the death touch of the Cyanide Cindy and Yankee Doodle Jones, seeing the life of his protégé in danger, sacrificed himself so that Harry could live. Harry's consciousness was transferred to Yankee Doodle Jones' android body. Paradoxically, doing so Harry became virtually immortal. Yankee Doodle Jones' mind also survived, in his case as a disembodied cyber-entity still giving advice to Harry. After a period of adaptation to his new body, Harry resumed his heroic career under the Liberty Man alias, helping found and fund the Young Heroes Alliance, establishing his base of operations at the Liberty Foundation Headquarters in Dynamic City. Liberty Man dated Tommie Reeves,  niece of Tommy Reeves (and heir to the Magic Marble).

Gale's father, Gregory Leary, was a district attorney in Key City. When Gale was just a baby, his mother, Martha, was murdered and his father was permanently crippled when they were attacked by Bob Evans and Red Brandois, criminals who were being investigated by the Attorney's Office. Evans left a willow twig in the girl's crib as a warning to Greg. Over the years, Gale began to develop strange abilities, which allowed her to avenge the crimes committed against her parents. Gale, using her powers, confronted Brandois, who mistaking her for the vengeful spirit of her mother, suffered a cardiac arrest and died. Gale laid a willow twig at the foot of his corpse as a gesture of poetic justice. Later, Gale befriended a young man named King. Together they discovered that they were brothers, biological children of the hero Black Diamond and the villainess Killer Plant. King became Black Zero and Gale adopted the name Jill O'Wisp. The two joined other descendants and protégés of members of the Crime Busters and formed the Young Heroes Alliance, using their powers to fight for justice. She and her teammate Matthew Price Jr. (aka Brain Boy) established a romantic relationship.

HISTORY 

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.

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.

HISTORY

Super-Brain was an extra-terrestrial scientist who came to Earth some time before the 1940s. He set out to conquer the planet, but he didn't have the resources or manpower to pull it off. He allied himself with the Axis powers, who were more than happy to provide him both in exchange for his help with their own imperial ambitions. He came up with several plans to destroy America, but he was stopped at every turn by Rangers of Freedom and the Ranger Girl. He got obsessed especially with the latter, trying to turn her into his concubine. Finally, he decided to turn her into his forced rental belly to obtain a human-alien hybrid. Fruit of this monstrous action would be born the hero Brain Boy.

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Super-brain possessed telepathic and telekinetic abilities, which he could further boost through technology of his own invention (to the point where he could simultaneously influence large portions of the population in all major American cities). He engineered a fungus-like bio-weapon that could grow around any object, spreading at exponential rate. The inorganic materials were gradually corroded while the organic materials were turned into an explosive gas. He invented a serum that granted temporary mmortality, a submersible island base, two-way video communicators and other devices. His large head made it hard for him to walk, so he preferred to remain in a wheelchair, but he could walk with the aid of telekinesis when necessary. During 1940s, he used a regular wheelchair characteristic of this time period, but time after he got a more futuristic self-propelled wheelchair.
