| “ | Do you know what it's like to be able to hear everyone's thoughts? It's hell on earth. You think I'm a jerk? Well, trust me, everyone else is worse. If my dad hurt anyone... he had a reason to. People are monsters. Deep down, they're ugly, and greedy, and hateful, and twisted. That's the truth. | ” |
— Henry King Jr. to Courtney Whitmore[src]

Henry King Jr. was a student at Blue Valley High School and the son of Henry and Merry King. Soon after Courtney Whitmore's arrival in Blue Valley, King began to develop migraines and started hearing voices in his mind. It was later revealed that he inherited his father's telepathic and telekinetic abilities, which was utilized in the Justice Society of America's infiltration in the ISA Headquarters. Unfortunately, King's refusal to stand by his father as a criminal led to his demise, which was revenged when Yolanda Montez sliced Brainwave's throat days later.

Principal Bowin saw the incident and brought Whitmore for punishment.[2]
