Getting closer! I'll give a hint (though its kind of getting there via process of elimination). It's pre-1960.

Close, but not quite there yet. Slam was indeed in Detective Comics from #1 to the 1950's (he was replaced by Roy Raymond).
I can see why you might think he was in Action though because he was created by Siegel & Schuster.

Yeah, Vigilante was in Action. He's one of my all-time favorite characters that I've only ever read very little of (the original).

Getting closer! But not yet. Another hint: he came after the Crimson Avenger.

You got it! Whew. I was wondering if maybe I'd gone *too* obscure. The Golden Age Robotman indeed was the Detective Comics star who once attempted to join the Cluesters. The story sounded like something irregular for him to do and regular for many of the series other stars so I figured it'd be a nice tricky question.
Robotman, like Johnny Quick, was one of the final Golden Age stars to linger on into the 1950's before being cancelled. A few more years and he might just have survived into the Silver Age.
You're up, 'Boot.
