Ignatz was quicker on the trigger. Your question, Mouse. Bonus points to Custom - Al Pratt was mistakenly listed on Kate Spencer's dad's birth certificate.

Something about Rick Tyler complaining about other people's personal failings comes across a little strained -- he is a recovering drug addict, after all. Glass houses, Rick.

Actually, it seems in character for such a person to be somewhat righteous and annoying. I don't know what Jesse sees in him.

New Q:

In Marvelman/Miracleman, Alan Moore established the idea of resolving a revived character's preciously-published backstory as a fictionalized governmental cover-up.

What DC comic swiped the idea? What villain in that series was created for the backstory but then had the identity adopted by a real villain?

Captain Atom, and the villain was Dr. Spectro.

Correct. I was always pretty fond of that series, some of Cary Bates best work.

What super-team included among it's members David Clinton, Joar Makent, and Al Desmond?

...........

Injustice Society?
Injustice League?

The Welder gets it! It was indeed the Crime Champions!

...........

Was it Superman, and was it that weird submarine with the fists?

Bonus guess: Batmobile, Bat-boat, Bat-copter and Bat-cycle?

I'm so sorry, that's no submarine - that's the Supermobile, from the cover of Action #481.

It's probably wrong, but I'm sticking with it.

Ignatz Trivia: That issue with the Supermobile on the cover was my first when I started collecting comics. I loved that story, very epic.
