The Young All-Stars "what DID happen to the JSA ?
So the Crisis trashed the All-Star Sqraudron. Roy Thomas go annally raped with no lube. BUT. He staged a great comeback wit the Young All-Stars. The idea was that, Sperman,Wonde rwoman, Batman, were gone however , their energy was still around and reformed into other characters to replace them.

Superman out,Iron Munro in!

I hate it when 5th columists break up my picnics...

So as you can the "energy" did alwasy stay on the side of the angles with UberMacth. Owlman and the Bat, and the Golden Archer ( from Italy, bringing up the rear)

Iron Munro had only the original superman powers. Speed,strength,leap tall building in a single bound. None o' that other crap...

Great, great artwork by Michael Blair.

	Didn't someone post Iron Munro's story before the original community got nuked? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I was mostly hoping someone would know who posted it, so it could be reposted to compliment (complement? Ugh) your entry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whateves, I'm making this more about how the original JSA 's powers where divided between the Yong AllStars and Axis America. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yeah, he was sort of a mentor figure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"mentor" is that the word for it now ????? LOL (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Two thing I like about Munro: 1) Writer Roy Thomas ended up linking him to Wylie's novel Gladiator that was supposed to have been one of Siegel's and Shuster's inspirations for Superman. 2) DC hasn't just let the characters disappear. Besides showing up in Mahunter he also appeared in Damage, and maybe another series I'm not remembering. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes. I believe Iron was in some kind of genetic soup that Damage came from. It is sort of a rouge government operative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A rouge government operative. Is their motto "Never let yourself been seen without makeup!"? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	2) Yes, the only person who's fate remains a mistery is Flying Fox. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who was, of course, based on an ID that Batman had before he was Batman, according to a random 1950s story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yup , Roy did a great great job researching to come up with these charatcer in salutes to the old school . (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I liked the notion of Young All Stars, probalby better than the execution. Arn "Iron" Munro was both a great pulp sounding name and a good character. I also liked the WWII Fury (Whose coming was foreshadowed in an Infinity Inc where Lyta meets the Greek Furies whilst on a mission and they recognise her, though she has no idea why) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fromtheaether 2009-03-17 05:26 am UTC (link)
	That's because he WAS a pulp character, more or less. Google up "Aarn Munro" by John W. Campbell sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ITA about the idea of the group! Thomas overcomplicated each of them, IMO. It's been said before, but the Axis group was closer to the objective, giving closer analogs to the heroes who had been removed by the Crisis. Dottie later gave birth to Lex Luthor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	lol Sperman. (Reply to this)

	I always liked these characters and I wish DC had followed up on them more. Superman meeting a 'older' Monroe would have been cool, for instance. (Reply to this)
