Black Canary
The version of DC Comics’ Black Canary seen both solo and with the JSA during the Golden Age (in her case, 1948-1951). But you should first check our guide to Black Canary profiles.
Dharlu
An enigmatic and powerful alien seen in a few 1970s Justice League of America stories.
Willow Ufgood
The protagonist of one of the notable, successful 1980s adventure/fantasy movie Willow. Farmer, family man and apprentice wizard.
Ryo Sakazaki
An expy of Street Fighter’s Ryu who appears in a number of SNK brawling games. Fairly generic martial arts hero.
Ram-Man
One of the minor heroic fighters in the 1980s Masters of the Universe cartoons – the Filmation ones. Mostly comic relief, but actually capable.
Pulsar
A Kryptonian-class sort-of-hero who only appeared once, in a 1982 Superboy issue. But heh, Kurt Schaffenberger art.
Warden Lieutenant Kell ap Morgan
A quasi-Welsh master archer and ranger, seconded by a big warhound. Kell appears in David Gaider’s Dragon Age: The Calling prequel novel. Prequisite before reading this one – the primer to the Dragon Age setting.
Superman, Jr.
From the goofy Super-Sons stories that may or may not be in continuity in some continuities, depending on these continuities’ continuity. Best read after our primer on the ages of DC Comics unless you already know about that.
Master Man aka Ubermensch
A super-powerful Nazi during World War Two (and beyond). Repeatedly clashed with Captain America and the Invaders, as he could fight the whole team by himself.

Batman, Jr.
From oddball DC Comics “imaginary stories” of the 1960s and 1970s. Like, we dig this fab stuff.
Batman
This is the version of Batman seen in the DC Comics Flashpoint alternate reality. There, it was Thomas Wayne — Bruce’s father — who became Batman. A grimdark Batman.
