DAN THE DYNA-MITE

Daniel Dunbar and teacher Tex Thomas were surprised to discover that the radioactive chemicals that they had been using in their experiments gave them explosive super-powers (when they touched special rings they wore together). They took the costumed identities of T.N.T. and Dan the Dyna-Mite to battle crime and enlisted in the wartime All-Star Squadron. Soon after though, T.N.T. was killed by Fifth Columnist saboteurs, and Dan was forced to carry on alone. He found that when he wore both rings, he still retained his powers, and Dan soon joined up with the Young All-Stars.

DAREDEVIL I

Bart Hill watched as thieves brutally murdered his father and mother, and then tortured him as well, branding a scar in the shape of a boomerang on his chest. The traumatic experience renders the young boy mute, but he swears on his parents' graves that he will "make crime pay" for their deaths. Much like another young man, Bart molds his body into physical perfection, and masters the use of the boomerang as a weapon, becoming the hero known as Daredevil. Daredevil regained his voice after a few adventures, and was well known for his epic battles with the Claw. He was later joined by a group fo kids known as the Little Wise Guys (much like the Newsboy Legion), who eventually pushed Daredevil completely out of his own comic book.

DOCTOR FROST

Dr. Frost appeared in the pages of Prize Comics in the forties. As his name implies, he uses cold as a weapon, being able to generate blasts of intense cold and create shields of ice for protection. He had an on-again, off-again relationship with the authorities, who often saw him as a meddler in their affairs (even though he was almost always right on the mark with his conclusions).

DRAX THE DESTROYER

Drax the Destroyer was created by the Titanian known as Mentor, after Thanos had destroyed the car of a family that had seen him (his daughter was similarly transformed into the woman known as Moondragon).

DUPLICATE BOY

Ord Quelu was one of a small group of people on the planet Lallor who were born with super-powers after their parents were exposed to radiation. Duplicate Boy is potentially one of the most powerful beings in the universe, as he has the ability to replicate any other individual's super-powers (an ability that is basically limited only by his own imagination). He has assisted the Legion of Super-Heroes on several occasions, and was quite close to Shrinking Violet for many years.

DYNAMIC MAN

A scientist named Dr. Stahl performed complex treatments on Bert McQuade, which gave him the ability to fly. He and his younger brother Ricky took to the air as Dynamic Man and Dynamic Boy. Both heroes can fly, have a good measure of super-strength, and are bulletproof. The Dynamic Duo was one of the many characters to come out of Harry "A" Chesler Jr.'s studio, and featured some excellent, Mick Anglo-like artwork.

ELASTIC LAD

In the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths universe, Jimmy Olsen was a bit of a putz. So things haven't really changed much, but he did have a lot more colorful adventures back then, including becoming a super-hero in his own right. Superman brought back a chest he found floating in space that contained a flask of a mysterious green liquid. Jimmy accidentally spilled the liquid on himself and found that it gave him incredible stretching powers. Rather than using them to get closer to Lucy Lane, he decides to help Superman fight crime. He has become Elastic Lad on numerous occasions, once even garnering an honorary membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Elasticman originally worked with Tinyman, but partnered with Dr. Fate after the diminutive character reformed. He, along with Dr. Fate, Tinyman, Atom-Jaw and Dr. Doom made up a super-villain group known as the Terrible 5 (though it was only called that on a comic cover).

EL DORADO

El Dorado was one of the multicultural members that were added to the Super Friends in the mid-seventies. He obviously encapsulated the spirit of Mexico (right).

E-MAN (a.k.a. THE ENERGY MAN)

E-Man was created thousands of years ago when a star erupted and emitted a packet of sentient energy. He finally found his way to Earth where he copied the human form and became the super-hero known as E-Man (and took the semi-civilian identity of Alec Tronn). E-Man is assisted in his adventures by Nova Kane, a former burlesque dancer who was accidentally blown to atoms, then reformed as the energy woman known as Nova.

THE ERASER

The Eraser started his career as your basic thug, who actually managed to kill The Shield. The Shield's son battled him at a science museum where the criminal stumbled into a "space warpine" ray and disappeared into another dimension. He returned much later with amnesia and the ability to "erase" the molecules of anything he touches...transporting them to another dimension. The Eraser is very strong, and works most often with the Brain Emperor in his plans to gain vengeance on the Mighty Crusaders.

Gary Preston was the son of an American missionary in China, who ended up in Tibet after a tremendous flood. He was raised by the lamas and tutored in the ways of magic, and given "the power over flame." As The Flame, bullets and metal weapons melt before they hit him, and he control fire, as well as apparently teleport through open flame (appearing out of fireplaces, bonfires, and cigarette lighters). The Flame was a hero in the Fox Features stable.

The original Flamebird was Jimmy Olsen, and was the partner of Nightwing. Superman used the masked identity while he was a fugitive in the bottle city of Kandor. Later, Van-Zee and Ak-Var of Kandor decided their city needed the costumed crimefighters again and took up the guises of Nightwing and Flamebird.

THE FLASH II

This skin depicts the Barry Allen Flash from The Dark Knight Strikes Again, in the unique costume as redesigned by Catgirl. I've left it a little rough since I think that reflects the feel of Frank Miller's art in the story. Hopefully we'll actually see Issue Three before DC manages to bring the real Barry back to life.

THE FOREIGNER

Very little is known about the man known as The Foreigner. He is the head of a global assassin organization known as the 1400 Club. He is the most skilled assassin in the world, being well-versed in every form of ranged and hand-to-hand combat, and has the willpower to perform feats of almost superhuman strength at times. The Foreigner can also put a person in a brief trance (by making eye contact) which allows him to seemingly move faster than the eye can follow (or even disappear). He is a good friend of The Kingpin and was once married to Silver Sable. His organization is responsible for the murder of the first Hobgoblin (Ned Leeds).

THE FOX

Photographer Paul Patton was the Fox. He was Archie Publications answer to both Batman and Spider-Man. He had a trove of gadgets and vehicles, and kept a special camera in his belt to help get better crime photos. The Fox became a crimefighter initially so that he could more easily get those pictures. Several years into his career, he was badly beaten and left for dead, and studied both the mental and physical sides of the martial arts. He gave up all his gadgetry and started prowling the streets in search of prey like his namesake.

FURY I (UPDATED)

The Golden Age Fury was a "retcon" attempt on DC history to replace the original Wonder Woman after the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths. Helena Kosmatos was a young Greek girl whose family was ravaged by the Nazis, who was given the powers of the Furies of Greek legend to lay revenge on her enemies. She was super-strong, could leap/fly great distances, and wore a magical golden armor. She is the mother of the modern Fury of Infinity, Inc., and the grandmother of Daniel, the current entity fulfilling the duties of Dream (a.k.a. the Sandman).
