The lightning also struck the window of his seat, sucking the boy out into the sea as the plane crashed down into the sea. He eventually drifts to the shores of Themyscira, home to the Amazons and Wonder Woman!
The Supernanny: The boy is born to a couple of scientists working in STAR Labs. Born tiny because of his parents' continued exposure to the radiation of STAR Labs technology and the fumes of the experimental chemicals, the boy made the national headlines for his abnormal size. The STAR Labs scientists hired a nanny to watch over the boy, either knowing that the nanny is a superheroine, or an infamous villainess with the intention to kidnap him. The boy's future as hero or villain in ambiguous.
The Katarthan Kid: The boy is a member of the Katarthans, a six-inch race of alien humanoids who crash-landed in the Amazon Rainforest seen in the six-issue miniseries, Sword of the Atom.
