From an online bio:
In his teens, Lucian Crawley developed astounding mental powers. Eager to make a career as a super-hero, with all the added fame and glory that would mean, he created a flashy, though juvenile, costume for himself and successfully foiled a few crimes as the Mindgrabber Kid. To his dismay however, he constantly found himself outshined by the popularity of the original Justice League of America. Jealous of the senior heroes, Crawley wished with all his heart that he could discredit them somehow.
Reaching out with the power of his mind, the Mindgrabber Kid managed to make contact with a group of alien spacemen, convincing them that the Justice League was a tyrannical super-regime, holding the planet in an iron grip. The good-hearted aliens immediately headed for Earth, determined to save the Earthlings from their super-dictatorship.
The Mindgrabber Kid manipulated the aliens and the League into fighting each other, also involving the half-lunatic hero known as the Creeper in the battle. The Kid soon watched the situation grow out of proportions, and after the League had won the fight, he explained the situation and apologized for his shameful behaviour. Though disturbed, the League and the alien crew both accepted his apology. |
