Well I'm guessing that since his stories were discontinued due to a lawsuit ... and Fawcett/DC is in the "wrong direction"... Timely Comics sued the company for copyright infringement?
thoth keeps getting so close, so I'm just going to give it to him.
Fred Carson was Wonder Man, who holds the distinction of having been the *first* character to have generated a lawsuit for copyright infringement on Superman. He was pretty clearly created by Fox Publications to capitalize on Superman's success. He was created, and his sole appearance was written and drawn, by none other than Will Eisner!
I’m late to the party unfortunately but that was my favorite type of Trivia Thread question - fun to think up an answer for AND teaches me an interesting factoid!

heh. Loads of pressure on the next clown who has to ask a question and meet *those* standards....ah heck...
I'm looking for a question. I *do* have a factoid to tide you over! And it links to recent questions too!
Following the success of Richard Greene in the 1950s Adventures of Robin Hood TV show, at least 7 comic companies launched Robin Hood Comics (see Robin Hood question), as there was no copyright (see Wonder Man above). DC , Magazine Enterprises, Charlton, Quality, Dell, Gilberton's Classics Illustrated and ACG all launched Robin Hood titles.

Jimmy Olsen has discovered that the alternate selves that have appeared are actually all connected to the Legion. But who is impersonating each of these classic Olsens? :-
Giant Turtle Man Olsen - Porcupine Man Olsen - Wolf Man Olsen - Fat Boy Olsen - Elastic Lad -

Giant Turtle Man Olsen - Colossal boy Porcupine Man Olsen - Cosmic Boy Wolf Man Olsen - Sueprboy? Fat Boy Olsen - Bouncing Boy Elastic Lad - Chameleon Boy
It is the line up! Porcupines must get loads of iron in their diet for Rokk to be using their quills. This was before Timberwolf, so I would have guessed a Jekyll & Hyde formula swigging Brainy for the Wolf Man
Over to you Ibby!
