Logan would have already been in operation when the All-Stars were formed, so it's not out of the questions that they would cross paths. Hos healing factor would be a big help against that pesky Spear.

I may be misremembering, here -- and, please, feel free to correct me, if so ;) -- but doesn't the Spear of Destiny only control the personalities and impulses of magic-wielding heroes, or at least those with some sort of magical background/origin, as per ALL-STAR SQUADRON #3 or #4? (I forget which issue number Roy Thomas first established this particular bit of business.)
Because, other than Sir Justin, I don't see anyone here who ought to have any specific Spear-related difficulties. (Again, apologies in advance if advanced age is playing hob with my comic book recollections, here.)
You could say Libby's connection to the Liberty Bell, and the Hawk's ancient curse would make them prone to the magics of the spear.
It's very interesting that Wolverine and Commander Steel both have augmented skeletons
Plus, JQ's super-speed formula--3X29YZ(4A)-- was recently ret-conned into being a numerological recitation. A mathemantra, if you will!. While Hank Heywood and Robert Crane were clinically dead for a bit prior to their respective medical miracles. So, that might make them vulnerable to the Spear's reputed powers in a necromantic sense.
They can still be zapped by it and not heal as fast as Logan.
The Atom was certainly almost split by it when he shielded FDR from one such blast.
Plus, as was depicted in mainstream Marvel Comics, much more recently, even Wolverine's healing factor doesn't make him immune to being mystically brainwashed by cults like the Hand while he's clinically dead, himself.
@Anonymous, I'm sure I read somewhere that the reason why Superman didn't win the war for the Allies is because he couldn't get near the spear. I suspect that may have been an Elseworlds or similar, however.
But was Wolverine's skeleton already reinforced during WW2?
No, it was part of mainstream pre-Crisis continuity that Kryptonians (at least on Earths One and Two) were vulnerable to true magic as well as kryptonite radiation.
And Dr. Manhattan has probably restored that to the over-all continuity of the DC megaverse, post-Doomwatch.
