Grady McKay is a boy who was raised by a single mother. Because his father was absent, Wooton Bassett became a pseudo-father to him and eventually led Grady to Christ. Grady also found Eugene Meltsner's father after Eugene hadn't seen his father in over 20 years. Grady is a huge Power Boy fan and collects both Power Boy trading cards and comics, often given to him by Wooton for free. His favorite Power Boy character is Beth the Barbarian.

Family

Grady's father, Carson McKay was absent until #628: “The Highest Stakes” due to a gambling addiction. Grady's sister is Samantha McKay, and his mother is Kristi McKay.

Friends

Grady's special friends are Wooton Bassett and John Whittaker. He has a special relationship with Marvin Washington because Marvin gave Grady his bike. Grady has an ongoing feud with Rodney Rathbone.

Personality

When Grady was first introduced he was 'rebellious and angry'. He felt that the world had walked on him, and was ready to walk right back on everybody else. He also struggled with a deep bitterness towards his father. His temper occasionally flares up, causing him to do things he later regrets. However, through Wooton Bassett and Mr. Whittaker, he was able to see in them the father he'd been missing, and began to understand how God is the perfect father. Through these influences, Grady was able to grasp concepts he had struggled with, such as forgiveness and right vs. wrong. His conversion to Christianity opened up a new door for him.
