Costumed Crusaders' Courageous Carbon-Copies

A curious attribute of Earth-One as contrasted with Earth-Two is that many of its greatest champions were not unique, but were simply the most outstanding examples of larger legions of similarly clad costume crusaders. Examples of this amongst members of the Justice League were the Thanagarian Wingmen... of which Hawkman and Hawkwoman were a part, the Green Lanterns Corps... of whom Hal "Green Lantern" Jordan was a member, and the Kandorian Superman Emergency Squad led by Don-El, who protected the original whom they imitated. Then there were the imperfect duplicates of Kal-El / Superman in Bizarro Number One and his fellow Bizarro Supermen. It seems the sole exception to this principal on both worlds were the Wonder Women, who had similarly powered yet distinct fellow Amazonians.

However, upon closer inspection, the corresponding members of the Justice Society each also had larger organizations similar to themselves. Kal-L aka Superman was a member of the All-Star Squadron, with various caped crusaders inspired by him, including the diminutive Darrel "Doll Man" Dane who was his world's Don-El.

Likewise, there was the animated duplicate Supermen spawned by Funny Face, both the 2-dimensional version in movies and the 3-dimensional Flying Tiger who tormented his opposite number.

Similarly, there were the renegade minions of the Vulture King from Thanagar-Two. Centuries earlier, an advanced armada of these Wingmen had attempted to found a colony on Earth-Two, whom the armored avenger known as Silent Knight encountered during one of his adventures. Now seeking to recruit humans into his forces, the Thanagarian Vulture King and his lieutenants used a device known as the Electromizer (their version of the more benevolent device known as the Absorbacron developed on Thanagar-One), which temporarily even brainwashed the Amazing Amazon herself, Wonder Woman! Once defeated, these rogues of Thanagar-Two were placed in Earth prisons.

Finally, there were the Green Dragon Tong, formed by the first wielder of the emerald lamp named Chang… which eventually came into the possession of Alan "Green Lantern" Scott, of whom they would oppose (following a clash with Batman and Robin decades earlier). While the Tong did not possess power rings and batteries as had the Corps, a group of Green Dragon monks did possess the original green lantern and its meteor rocks for centuries, guarding it. A later group of synthetic aliens known as the Sinestro Corps briefly battled Alan Scott and Hal Jordan.
