[A beaker full of death]

Wow, nice job! That is Barry. But you did miss one guy who's pretty much right up front in one of the group shots.

 

[sojourner]

Red Tornado.

 

[Greg Cox]

No fair! Mary Marvel is there twice!

No, really, how are we supposed to identify them when they move so fast?

Right click. Save. Analyze in a program like Photoshop or GIMP.

@ A beaker full of death: What medium are the figures in?

 

[Thestral]

... you people and your logic.

[C_Miller]

I could name them all if I tried, but it's moving to fast and when I tried saving it, I saved your whole profile rather than the avatar. I will say I like the representation of Golden Age Heroes. Alan Scott and Jay Garrick are some of my favorites ever.

Did I see both Hawkmen side by side?

That looks like two Golden Age Hawkmen to me. One in his earliest hawkface mask and one in his lame clothmask. There is a seperate shot of the Silver Age Hawkman.

 

[Silvercrest]

Awww, man....

awww.... don't you think that's cheating?

Nicely caught.

Cute, and well done. But... no Captain Comet. I think you mistook a different spaceman.


I think that between the efforts of everyone here pretty much everyone has been identified. I'd say Shivkala deserves a special shout-out for spotting Huntress!

Alan Scott and Jay Garrick are some of my favorites ever.

Same here.

Hmm... Adam Strange maybe? Or Captain Atom?

Alan Scott and Jay Garrick are some of my favorites ever.

Same here.

Part of what makes Alan and Jay (and Ted) awesome and still relevant is their "elder statesman" status and their mentoring role with the younger heroes - especially the ones carrying on legacies from their old teammates.

Thanks, the kicker is I did spot Red Tornado, but in the chaos of trying to get everybody, I never wrote him down. D'oh!

Now that I'm not so intent on studying your avatar, I do have to say, if those are all yours, nice collection (it's still a nice collection if they're not all yours, I guess ).

I dropped Justice Society about a year ago because I didn't think it was that good, but like others in this thread, those characters are awesome and a big reason I'm a DC fan first and foremost. While I know the resolution of Crisis on Infinite Earths is still controversial 25 years after the fact, due to putting all of the multiverses into one universe, I think fitting the JSA into this timeline was a great move. Yes, they did have to (and in some cases, still do) bend over backwards to explain why they're still around and not 100 years old. However, it's worth it to see Jay run alongside Barry, Wally, and Bart. It's worth it to know that Bruce idolized Alan Scott as a kid.

One of my favorite comics from when I first started collecting comics in the early 90's was the Justice Society series that ran about 10 issues. Not only did it introduce Jesse Quick, but it had one of my all time favorite panels where Jay and Alan decide to jump head first into being heroes again (as they had recently emerged from Limbo).

You lasted longer than I did. Then again, I dropped all my comics around 2008. I'm just starting to get back with what's going on in Batman. But JSA from the late 90s-2007ish was my comic. While it wasn't the only one I read (far from it), it was the one I was always excited to read month in and month out.

Thanks. It is (part of) my collection.

I quit comics right after the Crisis. I'm glad they preserved all these great old heroes, but I think the idea of "simplifying" the DC universe (because, of course, having multiple earths was too complicated for us) really backfired with the mess that is cluster earth. That's why you'll notice I still divide them by Earth 1 and Earth 2.
