From decades past, the once fictional Crusaders appeared in Pearson's office, requesting his authority to pursue the Freedom Fighters. Led by Americommando, the Crusaders included his sidekick Rusty, the undersea warrior Barracuda, and the flaming duo of Fireball and Sparky. Seeing the potential, D.A. Pearson authorized them to arrest the Fighters. Following a confrontation at Niagara Falls in upstate New York, the Crusaders' seeming victory over the Fighters swiftly turned to defeat.
During the battle, Americommando's true identity as the Silver Ghost was exposed! Utilizing a device to supply temporary superhuman powers to he and his four comrades, his scheme to finally vanquish his old foes failed. Abandoning the Crusaders, who presumably lost their abilities, Silver Ghost would later enlist a different group to deal with his enemies... the Secret Society of Super-Villians.
In 1942 on Earth-Two, the original home world of the Freedom Fighters, a different Americommando likewise had a professional relationship with his city's District Attorney, D.A. Mahoney. With the aid of his best friend Bob "Fat Man" Daley and the mysterious Miss X (secretly Mahoney's daughter), Tex "Americommando" Thompson battled a variety of foes including the Gorrah and his Rat Men, two gigantic alien puppets, and the Purple Gang... as well as various racketeers and saboteurs.
While the Freedom Fighters and their "Americommando" left Europe following World War II, this golden age Americommando was sent to Europe at the beginning of World War II. The Fighters battled other foes besides Silver Ghost and his Crusaders, including powerful action figures and metahuman native Americans. Eventually, these heroes (Uncle Sam, Ray, Black Condor, Phantom Lady, Human Bomb and Doll Man) left Earth-One for their home world once more, following their final defeat of Silver Ghost.
