Brain Boy

Silver Age Origin
Brain Boy was really Matt Price Jr., son of Mary and Matt Price. While his mother was pregnant with him, the tire's to the family car blew out while the family was driving and made them have a car accident with an electrical tower which killed Matt Price Sr., but miraculously Mary survived. Two months later she gave birth to a son and named him in honor of his father. Much to her surprise the baby responds to her in perfect English. The electricity he was exposed to in the womb gave him vast mental powers. However, he is smart enough to hide his powers until his senor year of high school when he is approached by Chris Ambers, a fellow telpath and government agent, who recruits Matt to work for a secret government agency that uses the moniker "Organization of Active Anthropologists" to hide its activities from the public. Chris also gives him the nickname Brain Boy.

Brain Boy then began to work under cover for the government fighting enemies of American freedom such as communists such as South American would-be dictator and telepath Ricorta and aliens such as the microscopic Eerown.

Powers and Abilities
Brain Boy could read minds, use telekinesis to lift objects or make himself fly, control minds, alter emotional states, and was also super intelligent. However, using his powers took a lot of mental energy especially when facing another telepath and could become exhausted quickly.
