Matthew Grayson (Earth-7045)

Dr. Matthew Grayson is the father of Robert Grayson, a.k.a. Marvel Boy, and later Uranian.

History
Matthew Horace Grabshied was a German rocket scientist who worked for the government in the 1930s. When the Nazis rose to power, Grayson refused to support them but was forced to continue working. Soon after the Nazi's rise to power, he and his family fled on a passenger plane that was shot down, resulting in the deaths of Matthew's wife Marna and his daughter, leaving him to raise his infant son Robert. Making it to America and changing their surnames to "Grayson," Matthew constructed a radio transmitter that beamed messages out into space, hoping to contact intelligent life and find a way to free himself from the Nazis. His efforts proved fruitful when he was contacted by the Uranians who instructed him on how to build a ship that could carry Matthew and his son to Uranus.

They then fled the Earth and were welcomed into Uranian society. The Uranians trained Robert to be their ambassador to Earth, the Uranian, and sent him on a mission to earn the trust of the Earth people in the hopes that the Uranians -- exiles from Earth themselves -- could return to Earth when the planet was finally brought to peace. Matthew continued to live among the Uranians while Robert travelled to Earth where he operated as Marvel Boy, but soon returned to Uranus once he learned from the colony that Matthew had passed away from old age.
