True but they did kill off McNider because he was OLD (I think Carlin or whoever was the editor of ZH has admitted this, as did Jurgens who wrote ZH and had a editorial mandate to get rid of the JSA). Pieter appeared years later but he was heavily influenced (in-story and out) by McNider. Which brings the question - why didn't they just keep the original. I mean they kept Wildcat alive but not Midnite?
