What Golden-Age villainous identity was taken over by a former classmate of Ronnie Raymond?

The Thinker a.k.a. Cliff Carmichael
(and I wanna say the Golden Age identity was like Roscoe Dillon or something).

Correct, Blacula.
(But incorrect about the other matter, Roscoe Dillon was the Silver-Age Flash's enemy the Top. The Thinker was Clifford DeVoe.)

That's right! I had the name Roscoe DeVoe in my head for some reason but I knew that wasn't correct. Not sure why I was getting him confused with the Top?
Sticking with Cliff Carmichael -
Who ended up killing him in the old DCU?

wow, Cliff became an actual villain and then got killed? To me, Firestorm ended when Ronnie went off to college.
But I will guess, for the hell of it...
Hyena?

"old DCU" is a little vague.

^ SS - I was tempted to write the "good" DCU.  But then remembered that by the time Cliff died, the taint of Didio had infected way too much of the brand for me to call it "good" anymore. Kent - yeah, Cliff became a real grade-A scumbag villain after the Firestorm series. I quite enjoyed him in the role (but that may have just been because the series that used him as such was so good) but you're right in that nothing beats those early Firestorm adventures. Not Killer Frost or Hyena. Clue: it wasn't a Firestorm villain (or a villain at all actually).

IIRC The Thinker (Cliff) was trying to killer her when he got shot by this other character.

Just goes to show, once you give enough hints and enough of the wrong guesses are eliminated, then anything's possible.
Other than the classic Captain Marvel (or any other connected marvels, or anyone ever published by DC or Fawcett for that matter) name a title character of a series that wears a red shirt, has a yellow lightning bolt symbol, and squints.

Hmm, I got a notification that Kent posted a reply, but when I click on the link, I find none here.

Yeah, my mind went to Golden Age characters at first.
What comic book character was a pop star who got excommunicated by the Pope?

I had to stop myself from using it immediately after your Zot question. Guess that strategy worked.

The only pop star in comics that comes immediately to mind is Dazzler, but if she were ever excommunicated I'd think I might have heard about it.
