Richard Grey, Jr. (alias Tom Wright) was the Black Condor.
History
When he was still an infant, Grey's human family was killed by bandit raiders in Mongolia, and the boy was raised to adulthood by wild condors. Along the way, he learned to levitate and fly. Early in his life he obtained a "black ray" pistol, capable of producing a wide variety of powerful energy effects. No known explanation exists for the origins of these powers or this weapon.
As an adult, Grey wandered across Asia, righting wrongs and overthrowing evil despots as the Black Condor. On a visit to his parents' homeland America, he stumbled upon the murder of Senator Thomas Wright (to whom he bore an uncanny resemblance), and took on the dead man's identity. He began leading a double life as both Senator Wright and the crime busting Black Condor.
