When Helena tells her uncle Johnny and aunt Libby about them, she learns that the crazy parts of the dream where they were superheroes was actually true and they zoom off to see if there's something to these visions.

In 1890, Pym moved back to the US, took the name of "Perkins" and married a young woman who died in childbirth. Taking his son to Antarctica, he sent the boy away after ten years because little Ross hated daddy's evil insanity. In 1910, Pym got German help to create another deadly submarine (the ''Leviathan'') and sank the ''Titanic''. Ross, now a newspaperman, tracked down the ''Leviathan'', suspecting his father might be up to his old tricks. Discovering a young female ''Titanic'' survivor, the pair married and deliberately conceived Neptune in the presence of Vril energy.

Since then, this incarnation of the character has become overshadowed by Robotman II (Cliff Steele) of the Doom Patrol, although he and his boring human body have occasionally cameoed, most notably when giving Pat Dugan parts of his old body to help him design S.T.R.I.P.E.

Ultra, in telling William her plan, had sworn to leave Detroit--where his parents lived--out of her plan.
Reluctantly, William agreed to work with the Squadron to save Detroit, but it took their defeat of a racist villain called The Real American some time later for him to accept their offer to join the team.

Will persevered and not only graduated, but won a gold medal in the 1936 Olympics. Alas, as an African-American in 1930's America that didn't exactly change things for him--as he put it, the Tigers weren't looking for black shortstops.
He eventually hired as a janitor by a scientist named Curtis who
Waking up strapped to a bed and in a strange costume, surrounded by equally bizarrely clad people, he saw the lady called Ultra, who told him she had big plans for him, before flipping a switch and sending waves of energy through his body. There was an explosion, and when the smoke cleared, Will was free, made of metal and none too happy.
After he calmed down, Ultra explained her scheme, and Will went along because the money she'd promised him, which he could use to repay his family at last.

A young Japanese-American woman who left America to join Japan after facing racial prejudice following the events of Pearl Harbor and gained her powers by being modified in experiments.

!!'''AKA:''' Daniel Dunbar
->'''Abilities:''' Project concussive force from hands, create explosion around himself, enhanced physical abilities.
->'''First Appearance''': ''Star-Spangled Comics'' #7
A young star student of high school science teacher Thomas N. Thomas, Dan and Thomas were performing experiments after school when their hands brushed against each other and they discovered that the chemicals they had been working with had somehow infused their bodies with differing energies which when combined created an explosion which gave them temporary superhuman abilities.
Recognizing that unstable energy-based superpowers probably weren't the safest thing in the world, Thomas made two rings each designed to collect the energy they generated during the day, and which when slammed together would release another empowering explosion.
Deciding to use these powers for good, they became TNT and Dan the Dyna-mite, and participated in many adventures before Thomas was killed in a targeted Nazi ambush while driving with Dan to the scene of a purported crime. Dan only survived because Arn Munro, who happened to be nearby on a date, pulled him from the wreckage.
Believing that without Thoms, he couldn't activate his powers, Dan was dejected and miserable, with only his new friends among the All-Stars giving him solace, until he learned that by clapping the rings together he could regain the powers he once had--it seems constant exposure to his energy had permanently altered TNT's ring, enabling his young protégé to continue the fight in his place.
Many, many years after the war, Dan would join several of his fellow sidekicks in a group called Old Justice which opposed the presence of teenaged superhero teams, and even got Senator Neptune Perkins to pass legislation for a committee to monitor the group Young Justice, though the young heroes would eventually prove themselves to their senior seniors' satisfaction.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Just barely in high school when he became a hero, Daniel is slightly younger than the fifteen-year-old Sandy the Golden Boy and thus the youngest member of the Squadron.
* {{Depower}}: Subverted. At first it seemed this way, Dan believing that since activating his inherent powers required touching rings with his mentor TNT that upon TNT's death his ring was useless. Then one day while wearing both rings he slammed his fists together in frustration and created a small explosion, later discovering that he possessed all his abilities.
* {{Expy}}: A replacement for the Golden Age Robin, who was ret-conned away by the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
* HandBlast: As mentioned Dan has the power to project powerful blasts of force from his hands. By slamming the rings together, he can also make an explosion around himself.

** After Arn Munro pulls him out of a burning car and saves him from a Nazi attack, he quickly grows to admire the older boy, to the point of being unwilling to hear a critical word said about him.
* LightningBruiser: When powered up, he gains a boost to his overall physicality in addition to his blasting power.

[[folder:Tsunami]]
!! Tsunami
!!'''AKA:''' Miya Shimada
->'''Abilities:''' Underwater survival, hydrokinesis.
->'''First Appearance''':
A young Japanese-American woman who left America to join Japan after facing racial prejudice following the events of Pearl Harbor and gained her powers by being modified in experiments.
However, she found herself shocked by the cruel and dishonorable lengths some among the Imperial Japanese were willing to go to destroy their enemies and began to feel remorse for aiding them, ultimately being persuaded to join the All-Star Squadron by Neptune Perkins to redeem herself.
----
* DaddysGirl: Part of the reason she joined the Japanese was due to seeing the mistreatment of her father by the American government, and in one of her initial adventures, she flipped out when it seemed he'd been killed.
* DrivenToSuicide: After declining an invitation to join Axis Amerika, she felt driven by her conflicting feelings to make a wave large enough to drown herself. This didn't work, but it did get the attention of Neptune Perkins, who counseled her and urged her to try a different path.
* HeelFaceTurn: Miya started having second thoughts when her purely defensive mission to defend Japanese waters was altered by superiors into being more of a government agent, attaching her to Prince Daka, which put her into actual conflict against people like the All-Stars, whom she came to respect.
* MakingASplash: Tsunami has the power to control water around herself.
* OhCrap: Although Miya had planned to leave the All-Stars for good after discovering her family in an internment camp, the mention of Kamikaze, another altered soldier with a much more violent mindset than hers, quickly had her scrambling to put her uniform on again.
* PlayingWithSyringes: Modified by Japanese scientists with hydrokinetic abilities and the ability to survive in the ocean long-term.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Seeing Prince Daka's ruthlessness versus the All-Stars nobility led her to quit helping him.
* TenMinuteRetirement: After discovering that 1) there were internment camps for Japanese people and 2) her mother and sister were among those imprisoned, Miya shed her costume and membership to join them. However, upon hearing that Kamikaze, a particularly violent and powerful member of the same program that empowered her, was part of the group that had captured some of her friends she quickly made ready to save them.

[[folder:Dan the Dyna-mite]]
!! Dan the Dyna-mite
!!'''AKA:''' Daniel Dunbar
->'''Abilities:''' Project concussive force from hands, create explosion around himself, enhanced physical abilities.
->'''First Appearance''': ''Star-Spangled Comics'' #7
A young star student of high school science teacher Thomas N. Thomas, Dan and Thomas were performing experiments after school when their hands brushed against each other and they discovered that the chemicals they had been working with had somehow infused their bodies with differing energies which when combined created an explosion which gave them temporary superhuman abilities.
Recognizing that unstable energy-based superpowers probably weren't the safest thing in the world, Thomas made two rings each designed to collect the energy they generated during the day, and which when slammed together would release another empowering explosion.
Deciding to use these powers for good, they became TNT and Dan the Dyna-mite, and participated in many adventures before Thomas was killed in a targeted Nazi ambush while driving with Dan to the scene of a purported crime. Dan only survived because Arn Munro, who happened to be nearby on a date, pulled him from the wreckage.
Believing that without Thoms, he couldn't activate his powers, Dan was dejected and miserable, with only his new friends among the All-Stars giving him solace, until he learned that by clapping the rings together he could regain the powers he once had--it seems constant exposure to his energy had permanently altered TNT's ring, enabling his young protégé to continue the fight in his place.
Many, many years after the war, Dan would join several of his fellow sidekicks in a group called Old Justice which opposed the presence of teenaged superhero teams, and even got Senator Neptune Perkins to pass legislation for a committee to monitor the group Young Justice, though the young heroes would eventually prove themselves to their senior seniors' satisfaction.
----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Just barely in high school when he became a hero, Daniel is slightly younger than the fifteen-year-old Sandy the Golden Boy and thus the youngest member of the Squadron.
* {{Depower}}: Subverted. At first it seemed this way, Dan believing that since activating his inherent powers required touching rings with his mentor TNT that upon TNT's death his ring was useless. Then one day while wearing both rings he slammed his fists together in frustration and created a small explosion, later discovering that he possessed all his abilities.
* {{Expy}}: A replacement for the Golden Age Robin, who was ret-conned away by the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
* HandBlast: As mentioned Dan has the power to project powerful blasts of force from his hands. By slamming the rings together, he can also make an explosion around himself.
* HeroWorshipper:
** Felt this way toward his mentor Thomas N. Thomas (AKA TNT), and was devastated upon learning he was killed.
** After Arn Munro pulls him out of a burning car and saves him from a Nazi attack, he quickly grows to admire the older boy, to the point of being unwilling to hear a critical word said about him.
* LightningBruiser: When powered up, he gains a boost to his overall physicality in addition to his blasting power.

->'''AKA:''' Arnold Raymond "Arn" Munro
->'''Abilities:''' Super Strength, Super Speed, Limited Invulnerability, and Longevity
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Young All-Stars'' #1 (June 1987)
The illegitimate son of Hugo Danner, who fought Nazi supervillains during World War II as part of the Young All-Stars.
----
* ArchnemesisDad: Upon discovering his father's diary, Arn learned that his Dad had faked his death in the Yucatan, tracked him down and learned that Hugo used his superpowers to convince an isolated tribe of local natives that he was a god, and replicated Grampa's SuperSerum to create a generation of superhuman army-cultists called the Sons of Dawn. Is it one of those nice army-cults that cuts peoples' lawns and holds peoples' place in line for them? It is not. Turns out Hugo wants to destroy and rebuild human civilization. But the SuperSerum doesn't protect from diseases and having an army of people who aren't immune to the common cold doesn't work out well for Hugo, who kills himself to join his surrogate sons in death. And Arn never got any birthday cards from him, either.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Felt this way toward Dan the Dynamite, three or four years his junior, after rescuing him from the Nazi attack which killed his mentor. For his part Dan became something of a HeroWorshipper toward Arn.
* CoolOldGuy: Born sometime around 1925, looks maybe fifty, and actively superheroing.
* DisappearedDad:
** Hugo Danner had a one-night stand with an old high-school girlfriend and then disappeared, leaving his mother to quickly marry a local businessman with the last name of Munro and claim Arn was his.
** Until very recently, he was unaware that (before they were married) he had conceived a son with his future wife Sandra Knight (aka Phantom Lady), whom she'd secretly given away. That child would grow up to be a homicidal maniac. Darn! But his ''grand''kid turned out to be Katherine Spencer, aka the latest [[ComicBook/ManhunterDCComics Manhunter]], and the two of them seem to get along quite well after they meet. (Oh, and the homicidal maniac got cut in half. C'est la comic-book vie.)
* {{Expy}}: Meant to replace the Golden Age Franchise/{{Superman}} who was wiped from the timeline by the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
* FireForgedFriends: Struck up a friendship with Dan the Dyna-mite after rescuing the younger boy from the Nazi attack which killed Dan's mentor TNT. One of the reasons he reluctantly agreed to join the Squadron was because he saw Dan needed someone to look after him as he recovered from his trauma and grief.
* InASingleBound: Since he's an Expy of the early Superman he can leap tall buildings something something.
* LightningBruiser: He's got the powerset of the Golden Age Superman with bonus longevity, at roughly the same level.
* LikeASonToMe: For a while he semi-adopted the young hero Damage, believing that this kid with a seemingly very similar powerset to his and vaguely similar resemblance might be a descendant of the lost child Sandra had given away or from another relationship. Both the saga of Damage's parentage and Arn's child turned out to be ''considerably'' weirder than that, but this filial relationship is likely still valid.
* LongLived: A member of the Young-All Stars, implied to have been a part of the JSA, still kicking ass in the modern age.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: He has a shock of white hair on top of his head, likely as a sign of his non-mystical but certainly strange ancestry.
* MythologyGag: He's literally the bastard son of [[Literature/{{Gladiator}} Hugo Danner]] - the theorized inspiration for Superman - and serves as a stand-in for Superman during the [=JSA=] days.
* ReallyGetsAround: As a youth, he had a reputation around his high school. [[ThePornomancer Being tall, muscular, handsome, and nice to boot really helped with that]]. [[LadykillerInLove However, he eventually fell for the Fury and later Sandra Knight]].
* RefusalOfTheCall: After concealing his super-abilities from others at the behest of his mother, Arn found himself forced to use them to save Dan the Dyna-mite from a Nazi attack and soon helping defend the All-Star Squadron from an attack on their base. Although he wanted to go back to his normal life afterward, the President asked him to join the group and he reluctantly did so on the condition that no one pry into the origin of his powers. Even then, he planned to leave after Dan recovered from his grief.
* RetCon: The ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths fused Earth-1 and Earth-2 leaving the New Earth without a Golden Age Superman. Iron Munro was devised to take the place of Superman in all the erstwhile Golden Age Superman stories.
* SecondLove: After some teasing as youths, he and Helena Kosmatos apparently married and then fell apart. Afterward, he fell in love and with Sandra Knight aka the Phantom Lady who turned out to be much better for him except for the part where she jettisoned their only child into the adoptive system without ever ''ever'' telling him the kid even existed. They ultimately drifted apart and divorced.
* ShipTease: He and Helena get a bit of teasing in YSA, and are said to have had a brief, disastrous marriage as adults.
* SuperSpeed: Runs faster than an express train, check.
* SuperSerum: He's the illegitimate son of Hugo Danner, whose father altered him in the womb with one of these. The benefits pass down to Arn's son Walter and great-grandson Ramsay [[AmbiguousSituation (and maybe his granddaughter Kate to some lesser degree)]].
* SuperToughness: Nothing less than a bursting shell could break his...father's skin, but Arn has equal toughness.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Although Arn was always big for his age and good at sports, he was only beginning to show his true potential when one blustery day when he was around twelve he and his mother were out walking when they were blown by a gust of wind onto a rocky outcropping which collapsed under Mrs. Munro, sending her falling forty feet into a crevice. With her leg broken, she began to cry out in agony, and Arn jumped down, grabbed her and jumped out again without even thinking about it. Mrs. Munro theorizes that his adrenaline burst fully activated his powers all at once.

->'''AKA:''' ...Flying Fox.
->'''Abilities:''' Magical flying cloak, magical herbs, magic spells
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Young All-Stars'' #1 (June 1987)
Early in WWII Nazis suddenly turned up at an isolated First Nations village near the Arctic Circle looking to recruit help conquering the other locals. The village chief, Flying Fox's father, told them to stick it. They shot him.
They also shot Flying Fox, but his grandfather (a shaman) used magic to bring him back to life and taught the young man several magical spells, as well as gifting him a mystical cloak that let him fly and also not freeze to death zipping around high in the sky above the Arctic Circle without a shirt on.
----
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: In a roundabout way. He's meant to replace Batman in the Golden Age Batman stories, and he's [[TwoferTokenMinority indigenous Canadian]].
* AnimalSuperheroes: Yup! Lysidice boholensis, a bristle worm discovered in 1878, which--what? Don't be ridiculous, foxes don't fly, they don't even have wings! Maybe it's some kind of bat-type thing?
* BackFromTheDead: Nazis shot him, but his grandfather (a shaman) brought him back.
* BlindedByTheLight: Can blind a foe by using illusion to project light in his eyes.
* CanadaEh: Where he originated.
* DoomedHometown: Nazis attacked his village and killed a bunch of people, including him, for a bit. Tip: Get a mystical shaman grandfather.
* {{Expy}}: Meant to replace the Golden Age Franchise/{{Batman}}. His magic powers such as stealth and illusion and so forth, allow him to roughly mimic the abilities of the Golden Age Bats.
* {{Flight}}: Thanks to the magical cowled cloak his grandfather gave him.
* {{Invisibility}}: A natural outgrowth of his illusion powers. Can affect himself and others.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: North American! He's actually Canadian. His grandfather, a powerful shaman taught him several magical abilities, in addition to gifting him the magical cloak he uses to fly.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: His grandfather put the Mark of the Fox on his chest, a mark which cannot be washed away.
* MasterOfIllusion: His main power.
* RetCon: The ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths fused Earth-1 and Earth-2 leaving the New Earth without a Golden Age Batman. Flying Fox was devised to take the place of Batman in all the erstwhile Golden Age Batman stories.

[[folder:Fury I]]
!! Fury I
->'''AKA:''' Helena Kosmatos
->'''Abilities:''' Flight, Super strength, super toughness,
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Secret Origins'' Vol 2 issue 12.
Greece was taken over by Nazis in World War Two, and in the city of Athens, many innocent citizens were killed by their cruel conquerors, among them the father of fifteen-year-old Helena Kosmatos.
However, even worse than the death of her father was that fact that Helena's brother Michael had begun to willingly collaborate with the very monsters who had killed him, even going so far as to embrace their beliefs!
One day Helena's anger boiled over at last and she confronted Michael in front of their mother, yanking the Nazi blood money from his pockets and proving his betrayal once and for all.
Their poor mother suffered a heart attack, dying on the spot, and as Michael fled the scene Helena called down all the curses of the ancient land of Greece upon him for what he had done, swearing her revenge.
She began to pursue her brother, heedless of the Nazi curfew, and soon found herself chased by soldiers, fleeing to Areopagus, the hill of Ares, where she fell into a crevice.
Deaf to the jeers and mockery of the soldiers above her, all Helena could see was the face of her brother in the darkness, her vengeance seemingly lost forever she stomped her foot upon the ground, cursing him by all that was holy.
The earth quaked, and she fell yet further into the mountain into a cavern where she could see three creatures, who introduced themselves to the girl as the Furies, who once punished the crimes of the ancients, particularly those against women, now imprisoned within the hill by Zeus.
Although her sisters feared to break the strictures Zeus had laid upon them, Tisiphone, the blood avenger, who punishes crimes of kinship, knew that Helena had invoked her aid, albeit unknowingly, and offered her the opportunity to slay her brother, at a price.
With only a second of hesitation, Helena agreed.
----
* BelligerentSexualTension: She and Arn had a minor rivalry since he was a bit stronger than her. However, they were also attracted to each other.
* BerserkButton:
** Just after gaining her Scion form, she's overpowered by a group of Nazis due to being unfamiliar with her powers and nearly killed until one of the Nazis says he'll mess her up so bad her mother won't recognize her. This reminder of the mother who died because of her brother's corruption at Nazi hands triggers her rage. [[GoryDiscretionShot Things don't go well for the Nazis]].
** She takes on her Blood Avenger form and becomes Tisiphone whenever her loved ones need avenging or are in deadly danger (and thus ''about'' to need avenging). This could be dangerous for her loved ones, since Tisiphone might start lashing out at ''anyone'' Helena happens to be peeved with at the time.
* BroadStrokes: Neil Gaiman says that Helena eventually becomes one of three old ladies whom [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Rose Walker]] encounters in a nursing home and who briefly represent The Three, but that's the Vertigo universe, which may or may not be canon.
* BrokenBird: Life isn't very kind to Helena, and with everything that happens to her she grows up to be a little unstable and bitter. Wonder Woman II eventutally takes her to Themyscira in the hopes that the company of her once-ParentalSubstitute Hippolyta and the other Amazons can straighten her out.
* CainAndAbel: By killing their mother with his greed and selfishness, Helena's older brother Michael spilled family blood. Helena gets possessed by one of the Greek Furies. [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 What happens next, kiddos?]]
* DetectEvil: Helena's connection to Tisiphone gives her visions and prophetic dreams regarding people who pose a genuine danger to those she loves or who have performed (or are planning) crimes which need avenging.
* DoomedHometown: The Nazis conquered Athens, killing her dad and many other people she knew in the process as well as alleged resistance members afterwards. I don't think I ''like'' these guys!
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: ''Young All-Stars #1'' opens with her having a horrible dream of a potential future in which a gigantic Mekanique (at the time of her dream a trusted ally of the All-Stars and love interest to Robotman) rampages through a city and kills the All-Stars, whom she towers over. When Helena tells her uncle Johnny and aunt Libby about them, she learns that the crazy parts of the dream where they were superheroes was actually true and they zoom off to see if there's something to these visions. Later, whenever she's around Mekanique she freezes up and starts having visions of her dream, which prompt her to begin taking Blood Avenger form around the cybernetic siren. As it turns out Mekanique was working with Per Degaton all along and attempts to kill the All-Stars by shrinking them down and attacking them in a model city.
* {{Expy}}: Meant to replace ComicBook/WonderWoman, with roughly the same level of power. Later, the more powerful Hippolyta would actually get a RetCon into the Golden Age Wonder Woman, but Lyta/Fury II would remain Helena's daughter.
* EyeBeams: Tisiphone has them, and uses them to incinerate Michael.
* FashionableAsymmetry: One glove, some gaps on the left side of her armor.
* GiveHimANormalLife: At one point (well after her marriage to Arn fell through) she fell deeply in love with a still-unknown man, who was murdered shortly before she gave birth to her daughter Hippolyta. Giving her to her dear friend Joan Dale Trevor, she told Joan never to reveal the truth of Lyta's parentage and started hunting the murderer. In spite of Helena's efforts, Lyta [[{{Understatement}} did not, in fact, end up living what one would call a particularly normal life]].
* HappilyAdopted: "Uncle" Johnny and his wife Libby take her in after she loses her family. Though they aren't blood relations, Johnny saved Helena from drowning and basically adopted her afterward. As it turned out, they were the superheroes Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle, something Helena learned via a prophetic dream.
* InASingleBound: In Scion form.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: Justified. Though she's a sweet kid, the trauma Helena has suffered has left a bit off-kilter, particularly when it comes to her temper. That's not including the actual Greek Fury who lives on the edge of her headspace.
* InstantArmor: Helena's "Scion of the Furies" alter-ego is covered in golden chainmail. There are a few, uh, exposed spots, but [[SuperToughness It's not really a problem]].
* LightningBruiser: She's got the Golden Age Wonder Woman's powerset.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Tisiphone, the blood avenger, who punishes crimes of kinship."
* NothingLeftToDoButDie: After leaving her daughter with her friends, knowing that she would never see her again and killing the man who had murdered her lover, Helena just sort of...gave up and sank into old age, ending up in an English nursing home for quite a long while.
* OlderAlterEgo: Helena (at least when she first gets her powers) is a skinny 15 year old girl. Her super-powered "scion" form is a tall knockout who looks twenty-five.
* ParentalSubstitute:
** After Johnny Chambers (aka Johnny Quick) saves her from downing, he and his wife (Liberty Belle) essentially take her on as a ward, and she refers to them as uncle and aunt.
** When Hippolyta travels back to WWII and takes the Wonder Woman mantle, Helena comes to believe that the Amazon Queen is actually the reincarnation of her deceased mother. While Hippolyta doesn't learn this much, she does become close to the troubled teen. Later in life, Helena would come to see Diana, the modern Wonder Woman, as a sort of surrogate sister, albeit in a sense tainted by jealousy.
* RetCon: The ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths fused Earth-1 and Earth-2 leaving the New Earth without a Golden Age Wonder Woman. Fury I was devised to take the place of Superman in all the erstwhile Golden Age Superman stories. (And Golden Age Wondy was a JSA member, so that's why she's here) Also, Golden Age Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor couldn't be the parents of Hippolyta "Fury" Trevor anymore due to inconveniently no longer existing (Rude!), Helena becomes Lyta's mother instead and Lyta becomes Fury II, who got adopted by people with the surname Trevor and randomly chose the sobriquet "Fury" without knowing of her familial connection. Whew! And the Crisis was supposed to make things ''less'' confusing!
* SealedEvilInACan: Tisiphone would rise up and destroy anyone who presented a deadly threat against those Helena perceived to be family...but them she'd stick around and attack anyone whom Helena had a grudge against, even her allies, and it took multiple people to restrain her.
* ShipTease: She and Arn get a bit of teasing in YSA, and are said to have had a brief, disastrous marriage as adults.
* SuperpoweredAlterEgo: Scion form is this for Helena.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Normally, Helena has an array of impressive superhuman physical abilities derived from her connection to the Furies, specifically Tisiphone. Under the right/wrong conditions, Tisiphone takes over at full power and demonstrates just why the Furies are so feared.
* SuperStrength: In Scion form.
* SuperToughness: Helena's Scion form has this, though of course the parts protected by armor have it a little better.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Averted, She has no qualms about killing Nazis, who slew her father and whose corruption of her brother had killed her mother.
* VictoryGuidedAmnesia: At first at least, Helena believed her Scion form and its powers to be a dream, though she later remembered everything in both forms. The activities of her Blood Avenger/Tisiphone form, on the other hand, usually only come back to her in the form of dreams she has later.
* WalkingTheEarth: After giving up Lyta, she hunted down the man who killed her lover, slowly destroyed his life and then killed him painfully.

[[folder:Neptune Perkins]]
!! Neptune Perkins
->'''AKA:''' Neptune Perkins
->'''Abilities:''' Underwater survival, telepathic communications with sea-life.
->'''First Appearance''': ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' #11
Due to being conceived in the presence of a concentration of a great amount of Vril, Neptune Perkins was born as a human with many qualities of a dolphin.
After the war, he got involved in politics, eventually becoming Hawaii's state senator and
He was killed by King Shark and The Shark while defending Atlantis during the Infinite Crisis.
----
* ArchnemesisDad: Or grandfather in this case. Arthur Gordon Pym discovered the hidden Antarctic civilization of Dzyan, a group of alien colonists who had mastered the mysterious magical power known as the Vril. Living among them Arthur gained power over Vril itself which, alas, magnified the evil parts of his psyche until they took him over and he became a despot, using mind control to keep the Dzyan under his mastery. Renaming himself "Captain Nemo" he had the aliens construct a powerful submarine (the ''Nautilus'') and became a dreaded pirate, until the ''Nautilus'' was destroyed. In 1890, Pym moved back to the US, took the name of "Perkins" and married a young woman who died in childbirth. Taking his son to Antarctica, he sent the boy away after ten years because little Ross hated daddy's evil insanity. In 1910, Pym got German help to create another deadly submarine (the ''Leviathan'') and sank the ''Titanic''. Ross, now a newspaperman, tracked down the ''Leviathan'' suspecting his father might be up to his old tricks. discovering a young female ''Titanic'' survivor, the pair married and deliberately conceived Neptune in the presence of Vril energy. Nazis killed Ross and his wife in front of young Neptune, whom they hoped would lead him to Pym. Later, Hitler just invade Anrarctica and found Pym and the Dyzan himself, with Pym ironically sacrificing his life to save Neptune and stop the Nazi plans for vril. So, summing up, Neptune was conceived to stop Pym's evil plans, but ended up re-awakening enough of Pym's good nature so that the villain sacrificed his life for his sake. Comics!
* {{Expy}}: A replacement for the Golden Age Aquaman, who was ret-conned away by the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
* ItsPersonal: The Nazis killed his parents in front of him.
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: His parents conceived him in the presence of great Vril energy, hoping that he would be gifted with the power to stop Arthur Gordon Pym/Captain Nemo's piracy. They're pretty lucky he got sea-related abilities, really.
* LongLived: Seems to have aged at around half the rate of a normal human after puberty.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Debbie (aka Deep Blue), the daughter he raised with Tsunami (Miya Shimida) is almost certainly actually the child of, oh boy, either Rhombus--an energy construct based around a sentiant, magical gemstone from space which took human appearance and seduced her--or Atlan aka Aquaman's magical daddy, who banished Rhombus and restored Debbie to youth and granted her new powers. And I guess ''also'' boinked her at some point since he showed up later claiming to be Debbie's real father? Although since Miya was in a relationship with Neptune at the time, Debbie might be his after all as he and Debbie believe? ...Comics?
* {{Mutant}}: Born with the webbed fingers and toes, a resistance to underwater pressure, the ability to hold his breath for extended amounts of time, superhuman stamina and the ability to communicate mentally with sea life. He also needs regular exposure to sodium salts to survive, which necessitated a move to the seaside on his parents' part.
* OfficialCouple: He and Tsunami hooked up during ''Young All-Stars'', and later married, though they eventually broke up.
* SuperStrength: Downplayed, but a lifetime of swimming around in the ocean and playing in the high-pressure depths has made him rather stronger than most.
* {{Telepathy}}: Only with sea life, with an order of MindControl on the side.

* MythologyGag: He's literally the bastard son of [[Literature/{{Gladiator}} Hugo Danner]] - the theorized inspiration for Superman - and serves as a stand-in for Superman during the [=JSA=] days.
* ReallyGetsAround: As a youth, he had a reputation around his high school. [[ThePornomancer Being tall, muscular, handsome, and nice to boot really helped with that]]. [[LadykillerInLove However, he eventually fell for the Fury and later Sandra Knight]].
* RefusalOfTheCall: After concealing his super-abilities from others at the behest of his mother, Arn found himself forced to use them to save Dan the Dyna-mite from a Nazi attack and soon helping defend the All-Star Squadron from an attack on their base. Although he wanted to go back to his normal life afterward, the President asked him to join the group and he reluctantly did so on the condition that no one pry into the origin of his powers. Even then, he planned to leave after Dan recovered from his grief.
* RetCon: The ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths fused Earth-1 and Earth-2 leaving the New Earth without a Golden Age Superman. Iron Munro was devised to take the place of Superman in all the erstwhile Golden Age Superman stories.
* SecondLove: After some teasing as youths, he and Helena Kosmatos apparently married and then fell apart. Afterward, he fell in love and with Sandra Knight aka the Phantom Lady who turned out to be much better for him except for the part where she jettisoned their only child into the adoptive system without ever ''ever'' telling him the kid even existed. They ultimately drifted apart and divorced.
* ShipTease: He and Helena get a bit of teasing in YSA, and are said to have had a brief, disastrous marriage as adults.
* SuperSpeed: Runs faster than an express train, check.
* SuperSerum: He's the illegitimate son of Hugo Danner, whose father altered him in the womb with one of these. The benefits pass down to Arn's son Walter and great-grandson Ramsay [[AmbiguousSituation (and maybe his granddaughter Kate to some lesser degree)]].
* SuperToughness: Nothing less than a bursting shell could break his...father's skin, but Arn has equal toughness.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Although Arn was always big for his age and good at sports, he was only beginning to show his true potential when one blustery day when he was around twelve he and his mother were out walking when they were blown by a gust of wind onto a rocky outcropping which collapsed under Mrs. Munro, sending her falling forty feet into a crevice. With her leg broken, she began to cry out in agony, and Arn jumped down, grabbed her and jumped out again without even thinking about it. Mrs. Munro theorizes that his adrenaline burst fully activated his powers all at once.

!! Flying Fox
->'''AKA:''' ...Flying Fox.
->'''Abilities:''' Magical flying cloak, magical herbs, magic spells
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Young All-Stars'' #1 (June 1987)
Early in WWII Nazis suddenly turned up at an isolated First Nations village near the Arctic Circle looking to recruit help conquering the other locals. The village chief, Flying Fox's father, told them to stick it. They shot him.
They also shot Flying Fox, but his grandfather (a shaman) used magic to bring him back to life and taught the young man several magical spells, as well as gifting him a mystical cloak that let him fly and also not freeze to death zipping around high in the sky above the Arctic Circle without a shirt on.
----
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: In a roundabout way. He's meant to replace Batman in the Golden Age Batman stories, and he's [[TwoferTokenMinority indigenous Canadian]].
* AnimalSuperheroes: Yup! Lysidice boholensis, a bristle worm discovered in 1878, which--what? Don't be ridiculous, foxes don't fly, they don't even have wings! Maybe it's some kind of bat-type thing?
* BackFromTheDead: Nazis shot him, but his grandfather (a shaman) brought him back.
* BlindedByTheLight: Can blind a foe by using illusion to project light in his eyes.
* CanadaEh: Where he originated.
* DoomedHometown: Nazis attacked his village and killed a bunch of people, including him, for a bit. Tip: Get a mystical shaman grandfather.

* {{Flight}}: Thanks to the magical cowled cloak his grandfather gave him.
* {{Invisibility}}: A natural outgrowth of his illusion powers. Can affect himself and others.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: North American! He's actually Canadian. His grandfather, a powerful shaman taught him several magical abilities, in addition to gifting him the magical cloak he uses to fly.

[[folder:Fury I]]
!! Fury I
->'''AKA:''' Helena Kosmatos
->'''Abilities:''' Flight, Super strength, super toughness,
->'''First Appearance:''' ''Secret Origins'' Vol 2 issue 12.
Greece was taken over by Nazis in World War Two, and in the city of Athens, many innocent citizens were killed by their cruel conquerors, among them the father of fifteen-year-old Helena Kosmatos.
However, even worse than the death of her father was that fact that Helena's brother Michael had begun to willingly collaborate with the very monsters who had killed him, even going so far as to embrace their beliefs!
One day Helena's anger boiled over at last and she confronted Michael in front of their mother, yanking the Nazi blood money from his pockets and proving his betrayal once and for all.
Their poor mother suffered a heart attack, dying on the spot, and as Michael fled the scene Helena called down all the curses of the ancient land of Greece upon him for what he had done, swearing her revenge.
She began to pursue her brother, heedless of the Nazi curfew, and soon found herself chased by soldiers, fleeing to Areopagus, the hill of Ares, where she fell into a crevice.
Deaf to the jeers and mockery of the soldiers above her, all Helena could see was the face of her brother in the darkness, her vengeance seemingly lost forever she stomped her foot upon the ground, cursing him by all that was holy.
The earth quaked, and she fell yet further into the mountain into a cavern where she could see three creatures, who introduced themselves to the girl as the Furies, who once punished the crimes of the ancients, particularly those against women, now imprisoned within the hill by Zeus.
Although her sisters feared to break the strictures Zeus had laid upon them, Tisiphone, the blood avenger, who punishes crimes of kinship, knew that Helena had invoked her aid, albeit unknowingly, and offered her the opportunity to slay her brother, at a price.
With only a second of hesitation, Helena agreed.
----
* BelligerentSexualTension: She and Arn had a minor rivalry since he was a bit stronger than her. However, they were also attracted to each other.
* BerserkButton:
** Just after gaining her Scion form, she's overpowered by a group of Nazis due to being unfamiliar with her powers and nearly killed until one of the Nazis says he'll mess her up so bad her mother won't recognize her. This reminder of the mother who died because of her brother's corruption at Nazi hands triggers her rage. [[GoryDiscretionShot Things don't go well for the Nazis]].
** She takes on her Blood Avenger form and becomes Tisiphone whenever her loved ones need avenging or are in deadly danger (and thus ''about'' to need avenging). This could be dangerous for her loved ones, since Tisiphone might start lashing out at ''anyone'' Helena happens to be peeved with at the time.
* BroadStrokes: Neil Gaiman says that Helena eventually becomes one of three old ladies whom [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Rose Walker]] encounters in a nursing home and who briefly represent The Three, but that's the Vertigo universe, which may or may not be canon.
* BrokenBird: Life isn't very kind to Helena, and with everything that happens to her she grows up to be a little unstable and bitter. Wonder Woman II eventutally takes her to Themyscira in the hopes that the company of her once-ParentalSubstitute Hippolyta and the other Amazons can straighten her out.
* CainAndAbel: By killing their mother with his greed and selfishness, Helena's older brother Michael spilled family blood. Helena gets possessed by one of the Greek Furies. [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 What happens next, kiddos?]]
* DetectEvil: Helena's connection to Tisiphone gives her visions and prophetic dreams regarding people who pose a genuine danger to those she loves or who have performed (or are planning) crimes which need avenging.
* DoomedHometown: The Nazis conquered Athens, killing her dad and many other people she knew in the process as well as alleged resistance members afterwards. I don't think I ''like'' these guys!
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: ''Young All-Stars #1'' opens with her having a horrible dream of a potential future in which a gigantic Mekanique (at the time of her dream a trusted ally of the All-Stars and love interest to Robotman) rampages through a city and kills the All-Stars, whom she towers over. When Helena tells her uncle Johnny and aunt Libby about them, she learns that the crazy parts of the dream where they were superheroes was actually true and they zoom off to see if there's something to these visions. Later, whenever she's around Mekanique she freezes up and starts having visions of her dream, which prompt her to begin taking Blood Avenger form around the cybernetic siren. As it turns out Mekanique was working with Per Degaton all along and attempts to kill the All-Stars by shrinking them down and attacking them in a model city.
* {{Expy}}: Meant to replace ComicBook/WonderWoman, with roughly the same level of power. Later, the more powerful Hippolyta would actually get a RetCon into the Golden Age Wonder Woman, but Lyta/Fury II would remain Helena's daughter.
* EyeBeams: Tisiphone has them, and uses them to incinerate Michael.
* FashionableAsymmetry: One glove, some gaps on the left side of her armor.
* GiveHimANormalLife: At one point (well after her marriage to Arn fell through) she fell deeply in love with a still-unknown man, who was murdered shortly before she gave birth to her daughter Hippolyta. Giving her to her dear friend Joan Dale Trevor, she told Joan never to reveal the truth of Lyta's parentage and started hunting the murderer. In spite of Helena's efforts, Lyta [[{{Understatement}} did not, in fact, end up living what one would call a particularly normal life]].
* HappilyAdopted: "Uncle" Johnny and his wife Libby take her in after she loses her family. Though they aren't blood relations, Johnny saved Helena from drowning and basically adopted her afterward. As it turned out, they were the superheroes Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle, something Helena learned via a prophetic dream.
* InASingleBound: In Scion form.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: Justified. Though she's a sweet kid, the trauma Helena has suffered has left a bit off-kilter, particularly when it comes to her temper. That's not including the actual Greek Fury who lives on the edge of her headspace.
* InstantArmor: Helena's "Scion of the Furies" alter-ego is covered in golden chainmail. There are a few, uh, exposed spots, but [[SuperToughness It's not really a problem]].
* LightningBruiser: She's got the Golden Age Wonder Woman's powerset.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Tisiphone, the blood avenger, who punishes crimes of kinship."
* NothingLeftToDoButDie: After leaving her daughter with her friends, knowing that she would never see her again and killing the man who had murdered her lover, Helena just sort of...gave up and sank into old age, ending up in an English nursing home for quite a long while.
* OlderAlterEgo: Helena (at least when she first gets her powers) is a skinny 15 year old girl. Her super-powered "scion" form is a tall knockout who looks twenty-five.
* ParentalSubstitute:
** After Johnny Chambers (aka Johnny Quick) saves her from downing, he and his wife (Liberty Belle) essentially take her on as a ward, and she refers to them as uncle and aunt.
** When Hippolyta travels back to WWII and takes the Wonder Woman mantle, Helena comes to believe that the Amazon Queen is actually the reincarnation of her deceased mother. While Hippolyta doesn't learn this much, she does become close to the troubled teen. Later in life, Helena would come to see Diana, the modern Wonder Woman, as a sort of surrogate sister, albeit in a sense tainted by jealousy.
* RetCon: The ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths fused Earth-1 and Earth-2 leaving the New Earth without a Golden Age Wonder Woman. Fury I was devised to take the place of Superman in all the erstwhile Golden Age Superman stories. (And Golden Age Wondy was a JSA member, so that's why she's here) Also, Golden Age Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor couldn't be the parents of Hippolyta "Fury" Trevor anymore due to inconveniently no longer existing (Rude!), Helena becomes Lyta's mother instead and Lyta becomes Fury II, who got adopted by people with the surname Trevor and randomly chose the sobriquet "Fury" without knowing of her familial connection. Whew! And the Crisis was supposed to make things ''less'' confusing!
* SealedEvilInACan: Tisiphone would rise up and destroy anyone who presented a deadly threat against those Helena perceived to be family...but them she'd stick around and attack anyone whom Helena had a grudge against, even her allies, and it took multiple people to restrain her.
* ShipTease: She and Arn get a bit of teasing in YSA, and are said to have had a brief, disastrous marriage as adults.
* SuperpoweredAlterEgo: Scion form is this for Helena.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Normally, Helena has an array of impressive superhuman physical abilities derived from her connection to the Furies, specifically Tisiphone. Under the right/wrong conditions, Tisiphone takes over at full power and demonstrates just why the Furies are so feared.
* SuperStrength: In Scion form.
* SuperToughness: Helena's Scion form has this, though of course the parts protected by armor have it a little better.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Averted, She has no qualms about killing Nazis, who slew her father and whose corruption of her brother had killed her mother.
* VictoryGuidedAmnesia: At first at least, Helena believed her Scion form and its powers to be a dream, though she later remembered everything in both forms. The activities of her Blood Avenger/Tisiphone form, on the other hand, usually only come back to her in the form of dreams she has later.
* WalkingTheEarth: After giving up Lyta, she hunted down the man who killed her lover, slowly destroyed his life and then killed him painfully.

[[folder:Neptune Perkins]]
!! Neptune Perkins
->'''AKA:''' Neptune Perkins
->'''Abilities:''' Underwater survival, telepathic communications with sea-life.
->'''First Appearance''': ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' #11
Due to being conceived in the presence of a concentration of a great amount of Vril, Neptune Perkins was born as a human with many qualities of a dolphin.
After the war, he got involved in politics, eventually becoming Hawaii's state senator and
He was killed by King Shark and The Shark while defending Atlantis during the Infinite Crisis.
----
* ArchnemesisDad: Or grandfather in this case. Arthur Gordon Pym discovered the hidden Antarctic civilization of Dzyan, a group of alien colonists who had mastered the mysterious magical power known as the Vril. Living among them Arthur gained power over Vril itself which, alas, magnified the evil parts of his psyche until they took him over and he became a despot, using mind control to keep the Dzyan under his mastery. Renaming himself "Captain Nemo" he had the aliens construct a powerful submarine (the ''Nautilus'') and became a dreaded pirate, until the ''Nautilus'' was destroyed. In 1890, Pym moved back to the US, took the name of "Perkins" and married a young woman who died in childbirth. Taking his son to Antarctica, he sent the boy away after ten years because little Ross hated daddy's evil insanity. In 1910, Pym got German help to create another deadly submarine (the ''Leviathan'') and sank the ''Titanic''. Ross, now a newspaperman, tracked down the ''Leviathan'' suspecting his father might be up to his old tricks. discovering a young female ''Titanic'' survivor, the pair married and deliberately conceived Neptune in the presence of Vril energy. Nazis killed Ross and his wife in front of young Neptune, whom they hoped would lead him to Pym. Later, Hitler just invade Anrarctica and found Pym and the Dyzan himself, with Pym ironically sacrificing his life to save Neptune and stop the Nazi plans for vril. So, summing up, Neptune was conceived to stop Pym's evil plans, but ended up re-awakening enough of Pym's good nature so that the villain sacrificed his life for his sake. Comics!
* {{Expy}}: A replacement for the Golden Age Aquaman, who was ret-conned away by the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
* ItsPersonal: The Nazis killed his parents in front of him.
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: His parents conceived him in the presence of great Vril energy, hoping that he would be gifted with the power to stop Arthur Gordon Pym/Captain Nemo's piracy. They're pretty lucky he got sea-related abilities, really.
* LongLived: Seems to have aged at around half the rate of a normal human after puberty.
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Debbie (aka Deep Blue), the daughter he raised with Tsunami (Miya Shimida) is almost certainly actually the child of, oh boy, either Rhombus--an energy construct based around a sentiant, magical gemstone from space which took human appearance and seduced her--or Atlan aka Aquaman's magical daddy, who banished Rhombus and restored Debbie to youth and granted her new powers. And I guess ''also'' boinked her at some point since he showed up later claiming to be Debbie's real father? Although since Miya was in a relationship with Neptune at the time, Debbie might be his after all as he and Debbie believe? ...Comics?
* {{Mutant}}: Born with the webbed fingers and toes, a resistance to underwater pressure, the ability to hold his breath for extended amounts of time, superhuman stamina and the ability to communicate mentally with sea life. He also needs regular exposure to sodium salts to survive, which necessitated a move to the seaside on his parents' part.
* OfficialCouple: He and Tsunami hooked up during ''Young All-Stars'', and later married, though they eventually broke up.
* SuperStrength: Downplayed, but a lifetime of swimming around in the ocean and playing in the high-pressure depths has made him rather stronger than most.
* {{Telepathy}}: Only with sea life, with an order of MindControl on the side.
