'''Marvel Boy''' is the name of several [[fictional character]]s created and published by [[Marvel Comics]]:

*'''Robert Grayson''' was the [[1950s]] Marvel Boy.  Grayson was the son of Dr. Horace Grabshield (later Anglicized as Grayson), a scientist who fled the Earth with his infant son during the rise of [[Nazi Germany]].  The Graysons landed on [[Uranus (planet)|Uranus]], where they were greeted by the native [[Eternals]].  Robert was given a costume and a pair of powerful bracelets, and returned to Earth to battle crime.  Much later, he appeared in the pages of ''[[Fantastic Four]]'', where he became the insane '''Crusader''' and died.  The [[anthology]] ''[[What If]]'' showed a world where Marvel Boy was a member of a team of 1950s [[The Avengers (comics)|Avengers]]; this alternate world was destroyed in the pages of ''[[Avengers Forever]]''.
*'''Wendell Vaughn''' was the [[1970s]] Marvel Boy, though he only used that name once before becoming '''Marvel Man''' and later '''[[Quasar (comics)|Quasar]]'''.  He used the bracelets of the 1950s Marvel Boy, which were revealed to be the alien Quantum Bands given by the cosmic entity [[Eon (comics)|Eon]] to the Protector of the Universe.
*'''Vance Astrovik''' was the [[1980s]] Marvel Boy.  He used that codename for some time before being sent to prison in the pages of ''[[New Warriors]]''; he later adopted the codename of '''[[Justice (comics)|Justice]]'''.
*'''Noh-Varr''' is the most recent Marvel Boy to appear, in an eponymous miniseries by [[Grant Morrison]] and [[J.G. Jones]].  He is an alien of the pink-skinned [[Kree]] species, although he hails from another universe.  Upon arriving on Earth, he became an [[anti-hero]] styled after [[Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics)|Captain Marvel]] but with elements of teenage rebellion added to the mix.
