History:
While on an expedition in Mongolia archaeologist Richard Grey and his wife were killed by Mongol warriors, leaving their infant son abandoned. An unusually intelligent race of condors nurtured the boy, who eventually discovered he had the mutant ability to fly.

Years later, Father Pierre, a local hermit, found the wounded Richard and took him in, educating him in the ways of survival and the world. After Father Pierre's death, Grey became a costumed adventurer and called himself the Black Condor, aiding humanity. Grey designed a black outfit with glider wings that enabled him to resemble the birds that had saved his life. Grey eventually came to America and, after various cases there, assumed the name and identity of his look-alike, Senator Thomas Wright, who had been secretly murdered by a criminal politician.

When World War II broke out, Grey became a part of America's All-Star Squadron, ultimately choosing to join a task force recruited by Uncle Sam to help battle the Axis menace on a world without super-heroes, dubbed Earth-X.

On this parallel planet, Grey found himself a member of the Freedom Fighters, spending over twenty-five years at war. Finally, with the help of the Justice Society of America and the Justice League of America, the Freedom Fighters ended the war.

Grey journeyed with his fellow heroes to Earth-One to fight crime, but through a misunderstanding, he found himself wanted by the law. With the problems resolved, he went back to rebuild the wartorn world that had become his home.

Powers:
Grey has the mutant ability to fly, although no limits are known as to speed, duration, or altitude. Sometime after arriving on Earth-X, it became apparent that his mutant powers also included limited telepathic abilities, most notably mind-over-matter. These newfound powers are still being developed and no limits are known at present.

At times, the Black Condor carries a ray gun, the origin of which is unknown. When used, it fires a black force beam of adjustable power--capable of stunning a man or breaking a brick wall.

He is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, and an Olympic-level athlete.
