I think I just guessed Mongul cuz he seems like someone Starlin would invent if he couldn't use a Thanos  During one of the Royal Flush Gang's pre-Crisis fights against the JLA, one of them memorably took down Superman without breaking a sweat. Which member of the RFG was it and how did they do it?

(Credit where credit is due: although Thanos appears to be a completely Starlin creation, Mongul was co-created by Len Wein as writer and Starlin as artist.)
I can't remember reading much of the Royal Flush Gang pre-Crisis so I will guess that Jack somehow made a red sun beam come from his eye?

I say it was the Queen, above some amusements with a power sceptre. I think she was disguised as Lois, to get close enough.

I probably should have suspected there would be more than one story that could fit the bill, but thoth's got the one I was thinking of  There were a lot of good bits in that story, not the least of which was surprise Professor Stein to the rescue! All yours, thoth!

Monocle blasted Hawkman with an eye beam around this time too.
This was part of a peak period of JLA, with thee New Gods, Starro taking New York, Red Tornado's origins, Injustice Society looking to obliterate an Earth and the classic #200.
Stein battling the villain in this one was a treat. All notable for Ralph and Dinah getting lots of panels, and the Royal Flush gang getting some depth. Jack figuring out at least part of the multiple layers of bad guys was unusual.
New Q soon...

A question of sixes...
Six Infinitors go back in time, where they end up fighting six golden age characters. During the fight, the six golden age charactes are replaced by six villains. With the infinitors remdered unconscious, it falls to six others to battle the villains and their master.
The six infitors are given below. But which Golden Age characters did they fight, who were the six villains and who remained to fight the villains
Nuklon – GA Character - Villain
Silver Scarab – GA Character - Villain
Fury – GA Character - Villain
Northwind – GA Character - Villain
Jade – GA Character - Villain
Obsidian – GA Character - Villain
The Six Rescuers:
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

argh. I even missed the bump... oh heck, there's a lot of answers here...um...
whew...I wrote down the answers...
Nuklon – GA Character - Villain
Silver Scarab – GA Character - Villain
Fury – GA Character - Villain
Northwind – GA Character - Villain
Jade – ALAN SCOTT- Villain
Obsidian – GA Character - Villain
The Six Rescuers:
Some good guesses...
Golden Agers = NOT: Wesley Dodds, Kent Nelson, Jay Garrick, Doctor Occult, Doll Man - 1 of these was a rescuer though.
Golden Agers = NOT Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Jonah Hex, Viking Prince, Shining Knight, Uncle Sam
HINT: One of the six Golden Agers isn't *really* a Golden Ager. 2 others were prominant in the title where all this happened. Villains and rrescuers also up fro grabs.

I'm thinking this sounds like the All-Star Squadron arc that introduced Infinity, Inc. So I'll try:
Nuklon – Robotman - Mist
Silver Scarab – Commander Steel - Rag Doll
Fury – Liberty Belle - Brain Wave
Northwind – Johnny Quick - Psycho-Pirate
Jade – ALAN SCOTT- Ultra-Humanite
Obsidian – Firebrand - Monocle
The Six Rescuers: Power Girl, Huntress, Star-Spangled Kid, Robin, Wildcat, Doctor Fate

OK, well, I'm clearly fishing in the right stream (stream of ruthlessness?)
Golden Agers: Atom, Doctor Mid-Nite, Spectre
Villain: Wizard
Rescuers: Starman, Johnny Thunder

I even managed to lose the answer in the time stream.... back with it now...
The Atom is a hit.
Fury's Golden Age character is one of the first.
Fury's villain is one I first saw in the 1970s JSA comics, and he may have travelled through time to be in this era.
Northwind's Golden Age character is one who had some costume clashes with another hero.
The 2 remaining rescuers:-
One is more familiar with the streets of Metropolis.
The other shares a surname with another hero.
ANSWER
Nuklon – COMMANDER STEEL - PSYCHO PIRATE
Silver Scarab – LIBERTY BELLE - BRAINWAVE
Fury – GA Character - Villain
Northwind – GA Character - MIST
Jade – ALAN SCOTT- RAG DOLL
Obsidian – ATOM - MONOCLE
The Six Rescuers: JAY GARRICK, JOHNNY QUICK, ROBIN, WILDCAT - 2 TO GET

Not Huntress or Power Girl.
No more infinitors are on the list.
