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
