Earths S and Four were the more in conspicuous parallel planets to the more famous Earths One and Two. Unlike those latter two, the former two consisted of superheroes who mostly operated on their own or with their familial sidekicks. Think the Marvel Family...Judomaster and Tiger... and more whom we will now consider. Nevertheless, on occasion the greatest champions of each Earth banded together as had Justice League and Justice Society.
On Earth-S, Captain Marvel banded together with the three Lieutenant Marvels and labeled their quartet as the Squadron of Justice, and decades later six more heroes formed a second Squadron to fight alongside the League and Society. This was their only known adventure.
On Earth-Four, three young heroes in Helio, Brute and Mentalia used special devices to fight the forces of evil as the Sentinels of Justice. Later, a quartet led by Captain Atom adopted this same moniker for a single chronicled tale.
Yet what caused the Squadron and Sentinels to only be temporary team-ups? For the heroes of Earth-Four, their was a tension between its members due to their differing ideologies... from a government agent... an alien princess... a corporate magnate... and a ruthless journalist. For the heroes of Earth-S, their was mutual respect that bound these heroes into lasting friendships, although their cases took them in different directions that consumed their time and energy.
