Nemesis, Magic Man and Herbie the Fat Fury from ACG

The Sentinels from Charlton Comics

"smoke-filled Greenwich Village nightclub" hmm? We all know what kind of smoke that was....

Wally Wood's the Misfits

Wally Wood's "Misfits":

The 'girl' is a robot. The little blue guy is named 'Shag', which seems to imply a kind of inappropriate super-power.

And here is someone I didn't know about until today: Misfit Batgirl.

but would Peter Paul and Mary actually fight somebody?

Or would they be uber violent.

Black Cats on my mind.

the original SHAKIRA!



and the stage stealing EBONY!





Ebony took on Mephisto in West Coast Avengers.

What was Ebony? I imagine it was soem sort of elder god or demon that took it upon itself to safe guard Agatha Harkness rather than some cat she suped up.

seems pretty powerful for a Bat Girl.

From the back cover of an issue of the Comic Reader, I give you the Danger Council.

The would threaten violence saying "If I Had a Hammer" then conduct a Cruel War before fleeing the crime scene by Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Nice find! Captain Action, Captain Comet, Wildcat of Earth-1, Human Cannonball, Prince Ra-Man, Man-Fish, Plastic Man of Earth-1, Enchantress, Black Orchid, Animal Man, Mighty Eagle, Owlwoman, Congorilla, Supergirl, Richard Dragon, Codename: Assassin, Starman (Mikaal), Sandman (Garrett), Jack O'Lantern, B'wana Beast, Ragman, Automan, Joshua, Rose, Guardian, Tigerman but who is the one in the star and moon cloak?

Oh! I actually know the answer to this because I'm friends with Noel "Paul" Stookey's daughter and have met him on several occasions and have stayed in their home a few times --- the answer is: he would NOT be violent, because he's a genuinely peaceful and lovely man...

Pantheon of Heroes

Ooh, Ebony! He would totally be in my new Young Avengers (only belatedly letting anyone know that, A) he's still alive and B) he's always been one of those 'demon cat-people' that Tigra got her powers from, with the power to turn into a young man, that he rarely uses).

I would *totally* read the heck out of a Pantheon of Heroes book. My love for the Legion extends to knock-off groups like the Imperial Guard as well!

Angelfish is rocking that Mohawk/fin-thing.

Awesome Cockrum-esque outfits on Clone Boy and Gravity Girl and Aviatrix.

Sphinx and Shadowhawk and especially Butterfly Queen have great looks!

Golden Girl and Nature Boy are perhaps a little *too* much like Dreamy and Chemical King...

I see Mano sneaked in as Anti-Matter lad. You've got to hand it to the guy.

Anti-Lad grew hair and became the Absolute!

And who's Manta Rae?

I'm guessing Lamprey.

John Law may have died in Robinson's tale, but he became a supporting character in Nightwing.

I always thought he had a great costume, minus some of the leg pouches. Brown and black would easily disappear in shadows over say, Robin wearing a bright yellow cape.

Or his yellow and purple thing before it was reworked in the '80s

I feel for Wesley Dodds having to wear the same one. I know the gas mask and suit were cumbersome, and that comics had moved away from that kind of story, but still...

We need to start linking to wiki's or something because I'm getting mixes on searches.
