--- Quote from: VexNet on March 23 2006, 11:44 am ---Hm, I did try the Avengers for a while But I found myself buying for the sole purpose of seeing Captain America kick some butt. as for beating Wolvie, Tons of characters have beaten Wolvie, He used to be my fav character as a kid but now he's character to me has kind of diminished. It's nice to actually learn his real name tho and a backstory, that was nice.

They had Manga character feature in the Golden Age alongside/Against the Sub Mariner?
and Yeah, they used the war to promote the comics too XD Like Superman for example was used in a bunch of War posters.

Namor the Sub-Mariner,Captian America,and the Human Torch were Timely(later called Marvel)Comics first superteam. They fought mostly in the Atlantic.Red Skull,Baron Zemo,Baron von Blood.But one of Namors cousins called himself U-Man and fought for the Nazis.
I'm just saying comics in general at the time period.But I like the DCU's GA Divisions:JSA was in charge of Homefront,All-Star Squadron the West Coast(Hawaii),and the Freedom Fighters paved there way through Nazi Europe.
I'm obsessed with the 40s.

Nightbird:
I just remembered that Golden Girl is/was a Japense GA character.She's Retcon though.(retroactive contiunity;adding stuff to what already happened)
Those were the days when a character named Wizard was original.
My favorite team: Injustice Society of the World
They were evenly balanced and they had a perfect plan:open all the prisons,kill the heros,and conquer th world.
Per Degaton-timetraveller
Wizard-believes heros are the villians!
Brainwave-he ended up marrying a heroine,hypnotist
Gambler-master of disguise,spy extrodinaire
Vandal Savage-Tech guy,money
Thinker-think of plans using thinking cap,actually Jay Garricks(first Flash) greatest foe

And if you add in all the others such as Soloman Grundy,Harlequin,Huntress & Sportsmaster,Icicle ,you're left with your head scratching:What went wrong?

Arcademan:
Nice to see someone who enjoys the greatness of comics that were the 40's...I myself a die-hard JSA fan :)

Nightbird:
Yes,but something else influenced me even more:The Mighty Thor.
The Norse Mythology, the concepts of mulitple dimensions & many panthenons living in this universe...it's made me more tolerant towards other people's religions.
Oh and Loki is so cool!I love Tricksters.I'll write a piece on why sometime & post it here.

What went wrong is that though the villains form a team, in almost allcases they don't act as a team or when they do, the first chance that comes along, someone double-crosses another. You forgot one of my favorites...The Fiddler: nothing like using a violin and music to do your crimes with. The Shade was also another villain that was made rather cool by the Robinson/Harris Starman series (probably one of the few Post-Crisis DC books I really liked)
