This team is a place to give second chances to some heroes that I thought were taken before their prime. These being comic characters, a couple of them have actually made a return to the land of the living. I still wince at the memory of reading Katma Tui's death at the hands of Star Sapphire - that one hurt!

Thanks for bringing back Katma Tui.
Whos silver agent?
VERY clever use of Kid Eternity.
Great concept.
He’s from Astro City.
He's sort of a cross between the Golden Age Guardian (of Newsboy Legion fame) and Marvel's US Agent.
I echo Emsley Wyatt's assessment! Just one question, though: is that supposed to be the Golden Age Robin from JLA (v.1) #'s 91-92?
Yes
I'm surprised Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) isn't here. Poor guy has been dead for a long time. Or was he excluded because he died of "natural causes"?
Jason, That particular death was done so well that I didn't feel like I should mess with it.
It has been a long time since I read it and remember being disappointed that the character who had been around for long time was killed off in Action Comics which is where series went to die.
I was expecting her to be revived in one of the yearly events but never was.
He is one of major characters in Astro City and the became legend in future like many Justice League members. His full story is worth reading although a bit sad.
Interesting! Kind of like the opposite of the Suicide Squad! I like this, maybe there's a kind of rotating membership for future appearances? #711 could definitely qualify!
Now, let's see who recognizes that one…
Det_Tobor says: great new group. Shame you couldn't add Dr Who's Clara to the team. Their choices wouldn't be that different than usual tho, would they??
If you ever want to expand the team, may I suggest Kara Zor-El (the one killed in the original Crisis)?
Oh, wait--she exists in the STFU already. Maybe Kid Eternity already snatched her back from certain doom?
And if KE is still working a milennium from now, how about his reviving Ferro Lad?
AKA Dan Dyce.
flash!! from H. H. HORSEFEATHERS: Great concept but this is chicken feed Ross. You have all the heroes who have been killed at any point in time. who hasn't been killed at some time? Give me a black lantern ring or give me ? what's left now?
Hehe. Okay. I respect that. Also appreciate your use of the original Kid Eternity. I enjoyed his reprinted stories from the 1940s in the 1970s (I was in my teens myself back then) and have always hated what they did with/to the character in more recent decades. Your depiction of the classic version brings back many happy memories. :-)
Hey! That could be your next horror-themed cover. Black Lantern Edward Blake (Comedian of the Watchmen) vs. Evil Ernie Fairchild for custody of Smiley on the front porch of...The House of Mystery!
@Anon930: I'd prefer Werewolf-by-Night vs. Silver Agent.
