HISTORY 

Dr. Jackson, Harry's father, created an American champion, the artificial man named Yankee Doodle Jones. Harry became the Dandy and together the two joined the Outlaws, the Battle Squadron or the Crime Smashers. 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 Black Hand 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 Danni Miller, daughter of cartoonist detective Pen Miller, and niece of Danny (Djinni) Miller (and heir to the Magic Ring).

HISTORY 

Matthew Price Jr. was actually the son of Mary Jane Jackson (Spitfire Jane) and the alien villain Super-Brain, who inseminated her as an experiment to obtain a hybrid. Mary Jane suffered a mental breakdown and was locked up in a mental institution. There she met Matthew Price Sr., her therapist, with whom she established an extra-professional relationship. Janie decided to continue the pregnancy and shortly after leaving the mental hospital, she and Matt get married. Sadly, before the baby was born, the couple suffered a car accident, crashing into an electrical tower. Matt Price Sr. died instantly, but Mary Jane and her son miraculously survived completely unscathed. She would later know 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, while in private he was trained (to his mother's displeasure) by his uncle Harry, the adventurer known as Dandy. Harry told the boy the truth about his origin and encouraged him to use his special abilities for the greater good as Brain Boy. On the other hand, in secret, Matt Jr. was contacted by the Organization of Active Anthropologists, actually a front for DANGER, which turned him into a kind of double agent / informant within the superhuman community.

Brain Boy joined other heirs and children of The Crime Smashers 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.

HISTORY

October, 1941. 

At the start of World War II, three veterans who had been crippled during the Great War volunteered their lives to create a champion to defend the United States. Dr. Jackson's artificial man came to life shortly after Nazi agents attacked the scientist's laboratory, fatally wounding him before the android himself and Harry, the scientist's son, stopped them. With his dying breath, Professor Jackson named his creation Yankee Doodle Jones and begged Jones and his son to protect America. Harry became the Dandy, and the duo devoted their entire lives to fighting the Nazis. They were part of the Crime Smashers, the Outlaws, and the Battle Squadron. 

Much later, Dandy received a mortal wound and Jones gave him his synthetic body so that Harry could survive. Yankee Doodle Jones's mind also survived, in his case as a disembodied electronic entity advising Harry. 

POWERS & WEAPONS

Yankee Doodle's synthetic body possesses superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and resistance to physical damage. His senses and bionic reflexes are also highly superior to humans. As an electronic entity, Jones is able to manifest as a hologram and control electronic devices. Thanks to the advent of the internet, his capabilities increased infinitely.
