History
The history of Boy Lad is shrouded in myth and uncertainty, and the most substantial information we have about him is from a story told by a man who may or may not exist. Nonetheless:
Boy Lad was a hero who "fought crime with a grin and a gun." He battled the Kaiser's forces in World War I and went on to found the first version of the Legion of Net.Heroes, setting up the LNHQ in the Net.ropolis Grand Hotel. (It is not clear whether this version of the Legion ever had any other members.) Eventually, this version of the Legion came to an end and Boy Lad disappeared, but he lived on as an inspiration in the memory of Net.ropolis.
Much later, Exclusionary Boy of the Intangible Legion told a lovelorn Particle Man a story by way of advice, of how Boy Lad fought and defeated a dragon at the cost of losing his chance at the one woman he ever loved. (This story was told in Particle Man Annual #1, one of the most acclaimed LNH stories, a bittersweet and affecting tale which exists for the sake of a godawful pun we won't give away here.)
Boy Lad has not been seen since the 1940s, although an entity impersonating him appeared during the Omaha Project.

Exclusionary Boy remembered him as an decent man who loved regular people, a powerful and inspiring presence who was nonetheless completely hopeless with women.

Like many Golden Age heroes, Boy Lad lacked any powers except for intense determination and a gun.
Appearance
