	All-Star Squadron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The All-Star Squadron was an example of "retroactive continuity" or "retcon", as it rewrote the already-established history of DC superheroes that had been published during the 1940s.
		The All-Star Squadron had a robotic butler named Gernsback, who was based on the Elektro robots from the fair and was probably named after Hugo Gernsback.
		The All-Star Squadron was then itself retconned and left only with the characters unique to that time period, so that Batman, Superman, etc., were never Squadron members.

		By the time All-Star Squadron introduced Cyclotron's newborn daughter Terri in its first Annual, the new teen-group's comic was well in the works; the Squadron connection was done to establish that Terri's radiation-altered genes would be passed on to her children.
		I loved writing All-Star Squadron, set in the darkest days of the Second World War, and Arak, Son of Thunder (Danette's concept, actually), set near the turn of the ninth century A.D.; but I wanted to write something that was definitely "Eighties," as the expression then was.
		Soon afterward, when Stan and I lured Gerry back to Marvel, Paul Levitz of Legion of Super-Heroes fame took over the scripting _of All-Star.

	Opinions 36 - Hitting the Wall III: Amazing Man (Aug 2000)
		As he first appeared, the Amazing Man of All-Star Squadron began as an Olympic athlete who performed at the 1936 Olympics in Germany, the event with the apocryphal snub from Hitler, who, in the legend, refused to recognize Jesse Owens' victory.
		Had DC not essentially euthanized the creations and concepts they hired Roy Thomas to produce in All-Star Squadron, he might have faced a problem with the character Amazing Man. Unrevised, pre-Crisis continuity, after all, did not include an Amazing Man in treatments of the heroes of Earth-2, the onetime home of DC's Golden Age superheroes.
		Hence we have the extremely unfortunate piece where Amazing Man appears on the cover of All-Star Squadron, chained to a burning cross while a character in a red, white, and blue costume and a white hood rants about eugenics.

	TwoMorrows Publishing - Alter Ego #12 - All-Star Squadron Origins
		Dealing with race in All-Star Squadron, I knew from the outset, would be one of the trickiest aspects of the book.
		Though I hadn't yet fleshed out the concept, the character who would debut two years later in All-Star Squadron #23 as Amazing-Man was already half- formed in the back of my mind-as was at least the germ of Tsunami, the Japanese-American "super-villainess" who was destined to take a bow in #33.
		So, finally, all the elements were in place-and I sat down to write the plot for a 16-page Special All-Star Squadron Preview which would be inserted into an issue of Justice League of America, to introduce the readers of one popular group title to DC's newest super-hero combo.

		Members of this group saw active duty on a number of fronts during WWII, then disbanded in the aftermath of that conflict, but not before sowing the seeds of what would be a number of superhero organizations who would follow in their footsteps.

		The team-up would include not only the JLA and JSA, but the All-Star Squadron, a superhero-team whose ongoing series (set during World War II) had started the previous year.
		This story was inserted into one issue each of Justice League of America and All-Star Squadron during this crossover.
		As usual, it would include the heroes of Earth-One and Earth-Two, but 1982's crisis was also to affect Earth-Prime, the comic-book name for the world on which we, the readers live!
