Origin:

Roy was an orphaned shoeshine boy that was taken in by Blaine Whitney to become the Wizards crime fighting partner, Roy the Super Boy.

History:

Roy, the Super Boy!  Silly name?!  I resemble that remark!  I'll have you know that I had the name Super Boy long before that imposter in blue and red with the "S" on his chest was even thought of.  I fought Nazis, spies and other criminals along side of one of the greatest super heroes that ever lived, The Wizard.  Along with my friend Dusty, the Boy Detective, the partner of the Shield (who by the way was the first red-white-and-blue superhero), paired up as the Boy Buddies, I even faced down Hitler himself.  And I didn't need any fancy x-ray vision, or other super powers to do it.  All I needed was my wits and fighting skills.  And those spies and criminals knew what was what when we were finished with them. Silly name, indeed!

Roy, the (original) Super Boy
