Kid Flash and The Young Allies

 

It looks like Wally West got his hands on the Cosmic Treadmill and found himself in a golden age adventure with wartime's greatest superhero sidekicks.  I'd read it!

  1. Isn't that what Ron Harris and the Messrs. Thomas called the international offshoot of the Young All-Stars @ DC back in 1989?

  2. How about a Wolverine vs Metal Men cover?? You always do a great job no matter who you pick!

    1. Aqualad would probably make the introductions: "Wally West? Jenny Diver!"

  4. For those too young to remember? She was introduced as Capt. Nemo's daughter in LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN (vol. 3/#1), loosely based on the character mentioned in the (Bobby Darin version of the) song "Mack The Knife."

  5. I've imaged a WW2 crossover with a Golden Age style Teen Titans with Bucky, Toro, Captain Marvel Jr., Mary Marvel, Robin, Jimmy Olsen, Speedy, Sparky, Sandy (the Golden Boy), Buddy Smith, Pinky the Whiz Kid, and you could arguably throw in Wonder Girl. Star Spangled Kid could be a part of it, with Stripesy being their bodyguard, effectively giving them adult supervision.
    Throw in any of the dozens of kid sidekicks in the background with the main ones up front. Etta Candy would try to join claiming she was 16 but get rejected. I think Owl Girl would push her way to the front demanding not to ignored.
    It does have its roots in history. With Dad off to war fighting, and Mom working in the factory making bombs, who was there to look after the kids? The ones with the keys to the car. This is why mom was sent back to the and the fear of juvenile delinquents started after the war,
