Usil the Sun-Archer was his world's greatest archer. Originating in Italy during the early days of 1940, this nefarious nemesis of the west was recruited into the Axis Amerika as his country's representative in a team bent on invading the United States and defeating its superheroes. On Earth-Eight, Usil would have been matched against the Spider who had himself just migrated from Earth-Two to join the Freedom Fighters. In the post-Crisis merged Earth, Usil would battle the Young All-Stars and their archer, Tigress. Despite his vast array of trick arrows, he would find himself outdone by any of these champions who opposed the tyranny of Europe's dictatorships and their masked minions.
How, though, can we say with certainty that this hero originated on Earth-Eight? Well, writer Roy Thomas mentioned how the Young All-Stars absorbed the energy left over by heroes that ceased to exist during the 1940's, including the golden age Green Arrow. It was revealed during the Infinite Crisis by Alex Luthor of Earth-Three that the potential Earth-Eight was where all remaining characters originated that had not previously appeared on former Earths known as Earth-One, Two, Four, S or X. Their adventures on that merged post-Crisis Earth would have mirrored those on Earth-Eight.
