Justice Journalists: Green Arrow and Crimson Avenger

At the start of their careers, both Oliver Queens were virtually identical. Each were wealthy playboys, without much drive in their lives, until stranded in remote locales where they trained in the art of archery. They adopted wards named Roy Harper, whom they teamed up with in the costumed crusaders known as Green Arrow and Speedy. True, their origins were different, Oliver of Earth-One was trapped on an island and Oliver of Earth-Two was stranded on a mesa... and the teams they joined were also dissimilar as Oliver-One joined the Justice League and Oliver-Two joined Law's Legionnaires. Still they were mirror images.

And then, each faced drastic life changes. Oliver-One lost his fortune and became a newspaper columnist at the Daily Star*. Oliver-Two was lost in time and returned a recluse. At this point, the former adopted a new costume and a new attitude towards life, fighting for the underserved in society. In this, Oliver-One now reflected the demeanor of Oliver-Two's long-time fellow Legionnaire teammate, the Crimson Avenger*.

Lee Walter Travis was a wealthy publisher of the Globe-Leader, originally located in New York City. Seeing that reporting about injustice wasn't enough, he adopted a mask/cape/fadora with specialty gas-gun as the Crimson Avenger. During this period, he and his trusted chaffeur and friend Wing battled crime as well as attempt to elevate conditions of those discriminated against. In this, he became in spirit his world's version of the new Green Arrow of Earth-One**.

Interestingly, a rich friend of Travis' named Wesley Dodds was also inspired to become a masked man, the Sandman. He too, like the Avenger and like the Arrow, were said to operate in "New York City", although decades later it was revealed he actually lived in York City... a smaller metropolis also on the east coast. It’s logical, then, that this "York City" would have also had other heroes in their midst... like Avenger and like Arrow, perhaps. Thus, this York City with its newspaper the Globe-Leader was the Earth-Two analogue of Star City and its newspaper the Daily Star on Earth-One***.

* Both worlds had their own Daily Star and their own Daily Planet/Globe-Leader newspapers, although on Earth-One and Earth-Two they were in different cities. 

** The Earth-One counterparts of Lee Travis aka Crimson Avenger as well as his partner Wing How were the dynamic duo of the Kryptonian bottled city of Kandor on Earth-One, Ak-Var aka Flamebird and his partner Von-Zee aka Nightwing.

*** A similar number of adventures where chronicled of both the Earth-One Green Arrow during his journalist columnist phase as were those of the Earth-Two Crimson Avenger within the pages of Detective Comics.
