The List of World War Two Era Super-Heroes

Because YOU (well, Andrew) demanded it!

The rules I am planning to follow:

I will include legit Golden Age characters that debuted by 1945. (So, no Black Canary, say)
I will also include characters created after this point that were included after 1945, but were established as having a World War Two era history.
I will not include time travelers, even if they had occasional advenutres in that time period, as the Doctor did.

I know that there a lot more than I am i nitially listing below. These are just the ones that were already in my list of one thousand super-heroes. More will be added, and feel free to suggest them.

Yay! Here's a bunch of Quality characters from WWII for your consideration. Note that one of them is a cross-dresser.

#711

Daniel Dyce is a district attorney who is almost an exact twin of his friend, Jacob Horn. Jacob is in prison, but wants to see his wife give birth, so Daniel agrees to become a prisoner while Jacob is with his wife. However, Jacob is killed in a car crash on the way to the hospital, so Daniel is stuck in jail. Daniel is able to tunnel himself free, but instead of escaping, he decides to return to his cell. Each night he uses his tunnel to go outside and fight crime, then returns before the morning. Dyce adopts the name #711, a reference to his prisoner number.

BLACK CONDOR

As an infant traveling with his parents on an archaeological expedition thorough Outer Mongolia, Richard Grey Jr. survives after his family is killed by the bandit Gali Kan and his men. Rescued by a condor who raises him as her own, he learns to fly by "studying the movement of wings, the body motions, air currents, balance and levitation" of his avian siblings. Richard tracks down and kills the Mongolian bandits who killed his parents and then departs for the United States, where he uncovers a plot to kill United States Senator Thomas Wright. He is too late to save Wright from assassination, and so begins to use his identity. He adopts the guise of Black Condor to fight crooked politicians, rum-running bootleggers and racketeers.

BLACKHAWK

With Nazi Germany flooding into Poland in September 1939, only the Polish Air Force remains as the last major line of resistance. Captain von Tepp and his Butcher Squadron swarm the skies in response, outnumbering the Polish four to one. The Germans decimate their foes until just one lone plane — painted jet black — remains. After gallantly shooting down six Nazi planes, the mysterious pilot is forced to crash land in the countryside. Running to a nearby farmhouse, he's tracked from the air by von Tepp, who drops a bomb and destroys the building. The pilot locates his dead sister and mortally wounded brother inside. He vows to kill von Tepp before disappearing into the darkness.

Months later, with most of Europe collapsing under the might of the Nazis, the pilot reemerges with his own private squadron and "like an angel of vengeance, Blackhawk and his men swoop down out of nowhere, their guns belching death, and on their lips the dreaded song of the Blackhawks."

BLACK X/BLACK ACE

Black X (Richard Spenser) is a secret agent.

BLUE TRACER

William "Wild Bill" Dunn is an American engineer working with the army in a secluded section of Ethiopia. While working, his team is attacked by a group of supernatural beings named the M'bujies. The M'bujies wound Dunn and kill his teammates. Dunn is rescued by "Boomerang" Jones, an Australian soldier who had been given up for dead and is now fighting his own private war against the Nazis. After Dunn regains his strength, the two men create a super-vehicle out of captured Nazi equipment that they name the Blue Tracer. It can become a tank, airplane, or submarine. They then use it to destroy the M'bujies and escape the jungle. The two travel the world and fight the Axis forces during the rest of the war, with Dunn at the head and Jones as his sidekick.

BOZO THE IRON MAN

Commissioner Hunt contacts Hugh Hazzard by signal flare and brings him into the investigation of crimes committed by a mysterious robot. Seeing the robot robbing a jewelry store, Hugh manages to temporarily deactivate it and climbs inside its hollow chest to hitch a ride to the robot's home base. This turns out to be the laboratory of an evil scientist, Dr Von Thorp, who is taken to the police by his own robot and later declared insane. The robot is again deactivated, and placed on a garbage scow for disposal at sea, but Hugh Hazzard has ideas of using the robot as a crime-fighting tool. He saves the robot from its watery fate, then names the robot Bozo.

CAPTAIN TRIUMPH

In 1919 twin brothers Michael and Lance Gallant are born in New York City. They are so alike, even down to a T-shaped birthmark on their left wrists, that their own mother cannot tell them apart. The two remain close, even for twins, as they grow up. When America is drawn into the Second World War, Michael enlists in the U.S. Army Air Corps, becoming a pilot, while Lance becomes a journalist. However, on Michael's 23rd birthday, as he brings his plane in to land, the hangar he is entering explodes. His fiancée, Kim Meredith, and brother Lance witness this act of sabotage, and the latter races into the burning structure, managing to find his badly injured sibling, only for Michael to die in his arms. Lance swears vengeance on the murderers and those like them. Unknown to him, the Fates, creatures of myth, are watching all this and, impressed, decide to create a champion. Soon afterwards Lance receives a shocking visitation from Michael's ghost, who reveals that they remain linked together, and if Lance touches his birthmark they will merge, gaining superpowers as a result. Touching the mark a second time will separate them again. Calling himself Captain Triumph, Lance becomes a crimefighter.

THE CLOCK

A hypnotist with a secret underground lair, The Clock's minimalist costume is a three-piece suit and mask. The Clock uses a number of gadgets (including a cane whose head becomes a projectile, and a diamond stud which fires tear gas), and customarily left a calling card with a clock face sayinng "The Clock Has Struck." The Clock's secret identity was eventually disclosed as Brian O'Brien, a wealthy member of high society.

DOLL GIRL

Martha Roberts is the daughter of Professor Roberts, who tutored his young protégé Darrel Dane in his home laboratory. During the summer of 1939, Martha is being blackmailed by a criminal named Falco over love letters she had written one of her former college teachers. After imbibing a concoction, Dane finds himself shrunk to the height of six inches, but with his normal strength intact. Martha sews him new clothes to wear, and he begins to worry that he might never be able to regain his normal height. Several years later, while wishing and concentrating about being able to shrink down to aid Doll Man, Darrel also is thinking about the same thing and suddenly Martha's height and weight dwindles down until she is on the same scale as Doll Man.

DOLL MAN

"The World's Mightiest Mite" is research chemist Darrel Dane, who invents a formula that enables him to shrink to the height of six inches while retaining the full strength of his normal size.

HUMAN BOMB

Roy Lincoln is originally a scientist working with his father on a special explosive chemical called "27-QRX". When Nazi spies invade his lab and kill his father, he ingests the chemical to prevent it from falling into their hands. As a result, Lincoln gains the ability to cause explosions in any object he came into contact with, particularly through his hands.

INVISIBLE HOOD

A wealthy former private detective, Thurston originally fought crime as the Invisible Hood while wearing a hooded red cloak and carrying a gas gun. In his second appearance, the Invisible Hood's robe is treated with an invisibility solution invented by a famous chemist.

THE JESTER

Rookie cop Chuck Lane learns that he is a direct descendant of a medieval court jester. Because of this, and the fact that he feels he is not doing enough good as a cop alone, he becomes a colorfully costumed adventurer known as the "Jester." The Jester is a comical crimefighter who makes laughing stocks out of the criminals he fights. He is known to be an unpredictable hero whose eerie laugh and jingling bells are an ominous sign to his enemies. His costume is worn under his police uniform.

KID ETERNITY

The Kid is originally a nameless boy who is killed when a U-boat sinks his grandfather's fishing boat during World War II. Due to a supernatural mix-up, however, he is killed 75 years too soon. To rectify the error, the Kid is brought back to life for another 75 years with the mission of upholding good in the world. He is given the power to summon any good historical or mythological figure or animal by saying the word "Eternity" as well as to make himself material or immaterial and invisible.

LADY LUCK

Lady Luck is the alter-ego of Brenda Banks, a young Irish-American socialite heiress, daughter of a mine owner. Rejecting her vapid debutante circle, she trains in martial arts and adopts the persona of a costumed detective.

MANHUNTER

Donald "Dan" Richards attended the police academy with his girlfriend's brother, Jim, who was at the top of the class, while Dan was at the very bottom. After Jim is framed for a crime he didn't commit, Dan takes up the identity of Manhunter to track down the actual killer. He catches the perpetrator and clears Jim's name. Afterwards, he continues to operate as Manhunter.

MAX MERCURY

He possesses super-speed and has the first name Max.

MERLIN THE MAGICIAN

In 1940, playboy Jock Kellog's uncle tells the young playboy that he is the last of a line of men who can trace their descent directly from Merlin. Before dying, the old man gives Kellog a green, hooded cloak and tells him that, while wearing it, he will inherit all the powers of Merlin himself.

MIDNIGHT

Dave Clark is a radio announcer in Big City. He is an actor in a show named "The Man Called Midnight," about a masked crime fighter. After witnessing the collapse of a 12-story building, he finds out that it had collapsed as a result of deliberate criminal negligence on the part of its builder, Morris Carleton.

During the gang's escape, Eel is shot in the shoulder and doused with a large drum of unidentified chemical liquid. He passes out on the foothills of a mountain near the city. He awakes to find himself in a bed in a mountain retreat, being tended to by a monk who had discovered him unconscious that morning.

His body now has all of the properties of rubber, allowing him to stretch, bounce and mold himself into any shape.

The Spider fights crime in a yellow shirt and blue shorts. He is armed with a bow and arrows, a special car known as the Black Widow, and the assistance of his valet Chuck. Hallaway uses a special arrow called the "Spider's Seal," which has a flat disc on the end; he shoots it at thugs' hands to disarm them.

#711

Daniel Dyce is a district attorney who is almost an exact twin of his friend, Jacob Horn. Jacob is in prison, but wants to see his wife give birth, so Daniel agrees to become a prisoner while Jacob is with his wife. However, Jacob is killed in a car crash on the way to the hospital, so Daniel is stuck in jail. Daniel is able to tunnel himself free, but instead of escaping, he decides to return to his cell. Each night he uses his tunnel to go outside and fight crime, then returns before the morning. Dyce adopts the name #711, a reference to his prisoner number.

Um ... what about his job being the district attorney? Did no one notice Daniel Dyce not showing up for work? Or did people assume Daniel Dyce was the one killed in that car crash?

And, being the district attorney, couldn't Daniel Dyce arrange for Jacob Horn to get to the hospital legally, say, under armed guard, rather than all this subterfuge?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I'm guessing it was assumed that Dyce was the one killed, not the prisoner.

MADAME FATAL

Madame Fatal is actually Richard Stanton, a handsome, middle-aged man who is exceptionally intelligent and intuitive, as well as being at the peak of his physical abilities.

This being the cross-dresser, I guess Frederick Wertham missed him when writing his book.
