Using his perception of time and space, Highfather led his so-called New Gods of the floating Supertown in the extra-dimensional realm where his world New Genesis and that of planet Apokolips resided. The ruler of that adversarial world, Darkseid, struck up a tenuous peace with Izaya that sometimes broached conflict on the adjacent Earth-One, where both his and Darkseid's forces at times resided. He has various protégées such as the youths Esak and Fastbak as well as the flying energy emitting woman known as Jezebelle of the Fiery Eyes.
Using his perception of time and space, Uncle Sam was able to see danger on the horizon of a parallel world to his own, Earth-X... which had no heroes of its own. Over a period of a year, Sam would recruit three different groups of costumed crusaders to join him. Is former protégés such as Johnny Reb and Billy Yank as well as the flying energy emitting woman known as USA remained behind on Earth-Two.
In attempting to save this new world, Sam was secure in the knowledge that his own planet was well protected by its assembled might of the All-Star Squadron. These Freedom Fighters would remain together for decades, battling Nazi oppression alongside his surviving allies. Once their long-lasting conflict was resolved, Sam and his surviving allies journeyed to Earth-One and Earth-Two for brief visits to those worlds.
Nam-Ek was a scientist seeking a portion to grant one immortality. To the end, he captured a beast known as a Rimbor which on Krypton was a protected species due to hunters slaying then in order to obtain their healing horns. While his concoction did indeed provide him with enduring life, it came at a cost as it transformed him into a Rimbor/human hybrid. After isolating himself from his fellow man for centuries, when he reappeared just prior to the destruction of Krypton, the so-called Antibiotic-Man was exiled into the Phantom Zone. Though reappearing in time to warn Superman of a plague unleashed upon Earth-One by an old foe, Nam-Ek was returned to the Zone following this due to residual madness that consumed him. Although he would reappear on occasion to menace his fellow criminals and trouble Superman, Nam-El eventually ceased to exist.
Interestingly, another version of Uncle Sam helped Ibis the Invincible to defend Earth-S from an invasion of creatures origination in the “Land of Legend”. This dimension was perhaps the same as that of Eternity where Kid Eternity also called upon variants of Sam’s Quality Comics compatriots Blackhawk and Plastic Man. It is presumed that other superheroes (from the Quality Comics publications) of the 1940s also resides in that Earth-S adjacent land with Sam.
