Trivia / All-Star Squadron

• Franchise Killer: Crisis killed All-Star Squadron by forcing it to take place in the standard DCU—not only did this mean it couldn't make use of a lot of major characters, but it also forced Roy Thomas to take a bit of a hammer to the book's continuity, when Continuity Porn had been one of the book's main selling points. Justice Society of America becoming the preeminent Golden Age-focused book pretty much nailed its coffin shut. There's now so much overlap between the two books that any attempt to do an All-Star Squadron revival would probably just get most comic fans wondering why they changed the JSA's name.
• What Could Have Been: The Quality Comics version of Wildfire was going to be a member of the Squadron, but because DC didn't want to get her confused with Wildfire from Legion of Super-Heroes, they created Danette Reilly, the second Firebrand (one who actually had fire powers) and sister of the original.
