Blacula already guessed Wonder Woman, but Cobie didn't say yea or nay.
King Faraday?

WW during the 50's had actually lost several of its great supporting characters from the 1940's and would not regain them until the end of the 50's/early 60's. It really became a weird title. So I'm pretty sure the cast was down. Aquaman - I'm not counting the undersea animals. So its basically Topo.  Not King Faraday either

Jeepers! I'm feeling really good about one of my answers! It seems so obvious to me now, I bet someone else gets it before morning!
Of course, I'm probably totally wrong!

Very good guess! But not quite. So far, you're the closest with Easy Company and Tommy Tomorrow. You're also on the right track with those for another reason (that's a hint  ).

if it wasn't for Cobie's hint, I was going to choose a Western hero next!

Not them either, but I did have to check to make sure.
My hint definitely was not meant to disclude western heroes! Rather, I'll make it even stronger: the series takes place in a time other than the then-present.

Tomahawk is one of my all-time favorite DC properties. I would love for a Tomahawk series (by Darwyn Cooke of course!). It's also the best guess so far--but not quite!
In the 1950's, Tomahawk basically just had Dan and then George Washington & other historical figures. In the 60's he'd gain a larger cast of characters who recurred.

You got it. Silent Knight not only had his own cast, but the various Knights of the Round Table, plus Merlin, plus others would show up from time to time.
I would have actually accepted another answer, because I'm pretty sure Matt Savage, Trail Boss, also had the same amount of supporting characters. That series is different from other westerns because it had so many supporting characters.
I don't know exactly how many each had but know they had more than any other except probably Superman and Blackhawk, though I honestly don't know about Blackhawk which is why I eliminated them from the guessing.
You're up, Kent!

wow. I was about to give up, too. I figured the round Table should up the ante, but didn't know what you might have up your sleeve...
anyway...
new Q:
What superheroine was called "the stark madonna of the quantum age" by the series' title character?
