Biography[]
Robby Reed was a young teenager and raised in Littleville, Colorado by his grandfather "Gramps" Reed and Miss Millie, their housekeeper. Unusually intelligent, Robby spent a lot of time in his "lab shack" performing many experiments. One day, he was racing soap-box cars with his friends when he heard a very loud bang. It came from the Amour Chemical Company where a criminal group known as the Thunderbolt Gang were using a giant robot to attack the building. Eventually, during the confusion, Robby fell off a crumbling ledge into a previously hidden underground cavern, where he finds a mysterious artifact shaped like a phone dial.
Upon the dial the word "HERO" was inscribed, making Robby realize that this is what he should dial with the strange device.
