Doc Mid-Nite and Johnny Thunder?

Again, one right, one wrong. (Op. cit.) I'm not sure what having their own book would have to do with it, but whatever works for you.

OK, it should be obvious by now that Dr. Mid-Nite is one of the correct answers. Here's a hint to the other: this JSA member did not appear in the first JLA/JSA team-up for a specific reason, but appeared in many of the JLA/JSA team-ups of the early 70s for the same reason.

I thought JSAers went inactive when they got their own book.

They did at first, but by 1945 that policy was dropped in favor of having the most popular characters in the team book. In fact, in the late 40s there were three regularly active members on the team who had their own books. By the final story in 1951, most of them had been canceled, though.

I pity da fool who guess Mr. T. He only participated in one Golden-Age adventure of the JSA, and it wasn't the final one.

OK then.


Dr Mid-Nite and Wildcat.

Wildcat participated in twice as many Golden-Age JSA adventures as Mr. Terrific, but not the final one.

Dr Mid-Nite and Black Canary ?

Getting closer, but still not correct.

NOW we have a winner! Of the seven heroes who were active members of the JSA in their last published Golden-Age adventure (All-Star Comics #57, 1951), Dr. Mid-Nite and Wonder Woman did not attend the first JLA/JSA team-up in 1963! Wonder Woman wasn't used because, unlike her JSA teammates Flash, Green Lantern, and Atom, she was an exact copy of her JLA counterpart in costume and powers. During the years when there was no Wonder Woman in the JLA, however, she participated in almost all of the crossovers.

Your question, JTR.
