The JLA and the JSA must rescue the seven Soldiers of Victory from other periods in time! But where did the seven groups go? I'll take time periods, people they met/ fought or pretty much anything that indicates an answer
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Good question! This is from a very hazy distant memory:
1. Camelot where they met Merlin I think (Shining Knight?) 2. Old West Indians (Green Arrow?) 3. Dinosaurs era (Crimson Avenger?) 4. Puritan witch-burning early-American era (Star-Spangled Kid?) 5. Attila the Hun (Stripesy?) 6. Robin Hood (Speedy?) 7. French Revolution (Vigilante?)
(P.S. I think you have the next Q in the Star Wars Trivia Thread too TL.)

ACK! EDE just beat me and his answers suggest that some of my hazy recollections were on the right track!

EDE gets off to a flyer with four correct.
Correct:- 1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era 5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire 6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Cvilization 7. Vigilante -- Old West
Incorrect. But two of them are just mixed up:- 2. Speedy -- Pre-Historic Caveman Era 3. Star-Spangled Kid -- Revolutionary France 4. Stripesy -- Ancient Greece

Blacula gets a lot of the settings, but nothing further than EDE's.

Remember that Perseverance Lad joined as Matter Eater Lad! I had to write down the answers for this one as I kept forgetting. Speedy is correct. He got turned into a centaur by Circe Star Spangled Kid first appeared as a distortion on a the wall of a prehistoric cave! That tribe died out, as Spangles had altered them to speak in Roy Thomas captions. They spent all their time talking and none of it hunting. Two for Blacula! No one was in revolutionary France, which is just where you'd expect someone to pop up for instant drama. But where else could they have been?! 1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era 2. Speedy - Ancient Greece 3. Stripsey - 4 - Star Spangled Kid - Prehistoric cavepeople 5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire 6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Civilisation 7. Vigilante -- Old West

Stripesy - the American Revolution?
I'm thinking Revolutionary France might have been Saturn Girl, in that Universo story where he tosses five Legionnaires through time!

It isn't The American Revolution, although US comics obviously tend to have a focus on their own history, so it's another good guess. It isn't Colonial Africa. I'm picturing Batman, Hourman and Starman at Rourke's Drift now, after the recent Wheel quiz. 1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era 2. Speedy - Ancient Greece 3. Stripsey - 4 - Star Spangled Kid - Prehistoric cavepeople 5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire 6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Civilisation 7. Vigilante -- Old West

1920s gangster era isn't that far removed form the crooks they would beat up in the Golden Age. Stripesy wouldn't want to be taken back to a more complicated world of comics. Come to think of it, none of them wanted to stay where they were.
Despite all of Blacula's valiant efforts on this one, Ibby has guessed the final answer. Stripsey was working away on the one of the pyramids. In between being tortured for the secret of his great strength. "I don't have great strength fellas. I just beat up a lot of gangsters in the 1920s!" he'd shout back.
The scene was also notable for having Starman develop the power to control his energy rod from a distance.
1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era 2. Speedy - Ancient Greece 3. Stripsey - Ancient Egypt 4 - Star Spangled Kid - Prehistoric cavepeople 5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire 6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Civilisation 7. Vigilante -- Old West

They were the original X-Men from the Marvel Universe? Well, they did turn up with their older versions...

Blacula has it! I always found it funny and cool, Diana having 5 gorilla house guests (how did she teach them to use the bathroom??). And 3 chose to stay on Themyscira to guard Hippolyta.
