Roy's Radical Righteous Retcon Raiders

Roy Thomas impacted both the Marvel and DC Universes, adding a touch of the golden age into his modern day storytelling. As such, several of the classic heroes from the 1940's were revitalized and tied to one another in a masterful manner that provided depth to that era's tales. Chief among these efforts was his introduction of two premier teams during World War II, the Liberty Legion of Earth-616 and their dopplegangers, the All-Star Squadron of Earth-Two. Each of these Freedom Fighters had retired after the War, for the most part, with only a few remaining, while their more famous contemporaries of the Justice Society and the Invaders proved to be lasting legacies as their members reappeared decades later in the Super Squad and Avengers as well.

The parallels are simply stunning, and show the archetypes that made both legends:

• Super-speedsters in love with all-American babes.
• All-American babes in love with super-speedsters. 
• Fin-headed red and blue take-charge leading men.
• Elastic heroes with enigmatic origins and abilities.
• Full-masked fighters imbued with enigmatic energy.*
• Flaming females partners of Great Britain's finest.*
• Green clad caped crusaders floating through the air.
• Winged warriors of exotic origin tied to bird people.
• Similiar clad blue & yellow lads shielded from harm.
• Shiny superheroes emit flame and ice respectively.

*Union Jack and Spitfire were Invaders rather than members of the Liberty Legion, however for purposes of this analysis we consider them in this context given their association with the Legion.
