No one has it yet but I can say those Golden Agers had already come out of retirement when this hero debuted.

Wow great guess Sean! Nailed it!
Black Lightning is from Nemesis' era so I wondered I'd you'd get it (I didn't give that clue but one might infer I was thinking along those lines).

Sounds like something that would have come from a Giffen-era JLE story.
How about...the Beefeater?

Which superhero had both his look and moniker directly inspired by a real life person? (Meaning a real life person had a similar look and used the actual superhero moniker in some capacity, and famously enough where it is now widely know this person was the inspiration for the hero).

I know I've heard that before, but had forgotten until you asked the question.
Next question:
What classic costumed identity was adopted by Tom Benson after a war injury?

HINT: This is a well-known super-hero identity which has been occupied by multiple people.

Wouldn't that be Doc Mid-Nite in a non-DC story? He was kinda like Daredevil, blinded and relied on his other senses.

Jeepers! LL returns and kicks ass on the trivia question!
Yes, Tom Benson is the "Silver Age Dr. Mid-Nite", created in 1965 by letterhack Rick Norwood for his fanzine Five, with permission of Julie Schwartz (who had no plans to use the character). And, yes, he was apparently much more like Daredevil than the classic Dr. Mid-Nite, from what I gather.

Thank Eryk. But that means I get the next question. Hmmm. Let's try a non-superhero one (no, not The Walking Dead).
When Archie was first introduced in Pep Comics what was his nickname?

Chic (or Chick) I believe. At least that is what he wanted Betty to call him, but she stuck with Archie.

And the narrator said "He hates Archie, so if you value life and limb, call him "Chick".
You got it Quis.
