Total: Abilities: 68 / Skills: 12--6 / Advantages: 8 / Powers: 20 / Defenses: 11 (113)

-Iron Munro is one of those guys who inspires an almost virulent, embarrassing hatred in me, and all because of that stupid, STUPID name. I mean, IRON MUNRO? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!? Arn "Iron" Munro was created as a percieved necessity by Roy Thomas in the '80s, when the Crisis wrote out the Golden Age Superman from history. Basically, Munro was supposed to step in and fill any All-Star Squadron or JSA story that involved Superman. How successful were they? Well, ask yourself that every time you tell someone about Iron Munro and they go "Who the f*#@! is Iron Munro??".

-Arn is partially based off of the character Aarn Munro, from a series of short stories by some guy I've never heard of (John W. Campbell). There's also apparently an "Iron Munro" who debuted in Shadow Comics #1 in June 1940, and was based off of Aarn. DC's Iron Munro is the illegitimate son of Hugo Danner, the ubermenschian protagonist from the 1930 novel Gladiator which helped inspire the creation of Superman (and yes, that's where Claremont & Cockrum got the name for the Superboy Expy on the Shi'ar Imperial Guard). Hugo had slept with his high school sweetheart, but left her immediately thereafter, and she married a businessman named John Munro. Their son Arn thus began developing super-powers at the age of ten- his mother, remembering Hugo's troubles (he felt set apart from normal people), made him promise to keep his powers a secret until he was eighteen.

-In Young All-Stars, Arn (nicknamed "Iron" during his high school athletic career) comes onto the scene rescuing TNT & Dan the Dyna-Mite from a burning car wreck- TNT dies but Dan survives, joining Iron on the new young super-team. A big arc featuring him sees the All-Stars travel to South America, discovering that Danner had sired far more offspring (the "Sons of Dawn") and was giving them powers, too- the Sons attack a Brazilian city but Danner is ultimately killed and his sons stopped by the All-Star Squadron. Arn's backstory gets weirder, as he marries Sandra "Phantom Lady" Knight, but not before she had a child out of wedlock that he doesn't know about, who fathers the current Manhunter Kate Spencer's father. He was also a part of the Damage series, acting as a mentor figure to young Grant Emerson, who was at first believed to be Arn's son (it turned out he was the Golden Age Atom's). And yeah, he still kicks around nowadays, as a background character with no lines in "calling out the reserves" JSA stories. In a clever bit, he was recruited onto the "Supermen of America"- a group founded by Superman to watch over the world, as he couldn't be everywhere at once. Phantom Lady eventually disappeared on a mission, but even when she turned up alive, they were never reunited. That's kinda weird (it's possible the writers forgot, lol).

-As a proto-GA Superman, Munro's got the strength, speed, power, leaping ability & invulnerability down. But he's an amateur, teenage hero, who's lucky to dodge or hit anything, and relies entirely on his toughness to save him when things go bad.

This guy is part of the reason that those of us (waves hand) who remember the Young All-Stars do so, with the origin invented for Neptune Perkins being the other half. Thomas' willingness to use much more of the public domain than most comic book writers had to that point was a major inspiration to me and to others, I think.

Old school sci-fi writer and editor. He was a huge name at time Iron Monroe was being created. Man's a legend, up in the canon with Heinlein, Asimov, and Clarke. Probably the best literature editor to ever do it, but time reduces all things to nothing. Of course, this isn't such a bad thing in his case. Man was a opinionated dickhead, and one hell of a racist. The kind of guy who ultimately ends up alienating most of his original friend group, and still doesn't get it. Oh, well.

As a writer, his most well-remembered work is the short story on which the 50s version of The Thing was (very loosely) based.

Campbell was a big deal in 50s SciFi. He wrote Who Goes There? which was the basis for the movies The Thing from Another World and eventually The Thing.

-Fireball is another Young Ally, a Russian woman whose powers I'm pretty sure are obvious just from her name, and derived from the Tunguska Event of 1908 (aka "big-ass meteor"), and whose parents were murdered during the Nazi invasion. She was ordered by Stalin to join the Young Allies. Like Kuei, she was never seen again in another book after her initial appearance. A generic "Fire Hero" build, at a lower level than normal (low-level PL 7), since she's a minor Golden-Ager.

-Kuei was an injured Chinese soldier who tried to end his suffering by drowning (he'd been shot by a Japanese soldier), but got possessed by a Chinese demon instead (in mythology, Kuei possess people who attempt suicide or drown). Like the others, he was never seen again following Young All-Stars ending. He's pretty strong and tough, but is mostly a minor-league powerhouse-type.

Young All-Stars gave Roy Thomas the opportunity to flex his literary knowledge, especially with the backgrounds of Iron Munro and Nepture Perkins (whose origin story also included the Frankenstein's Monster in addition to what you've already mentioned).

I assume that the reason it took so long for Thomas to mention the Earth-2 Aquaman is that editorial couldn't decide if there was one. I think All-Star Squadron #31 was the first time it was mentioned he existed. He wasn't even mentioned in Who's Who.

I like Roy Thomas' writing, but I will admit that he didn't seem to like humour characters in "straight" superhero comics, which is why Plastic Man was serious in A-SS and Midnight was the Spirit rip-off that Jack Cole had avoided. And if I remember correctly, the only comedic sidekick to appear regularly was Johnny Quick's, Tubby Watts (Thomas must have liked him).
Always ask before you use someone's Original Character.
Never ever use them without permission. Only Villains do that.

I liked the Young All-Stars, except for Neptune Perkins... Iron Monroe was probably my favorite because he was kind of a schmuck, like 'Kid Nova' over in the early years of New Warriors. Having some super-heroes like that, or Booster Gold, who weren't exactly Captain America levels of righteous and noble, was amusing.

Jabroniville wrote: Fri May 13, 2022 6:52 pm THE YOUNG ALL-STARS:
-As I mentioned before, the Young All-Stars were formed by Roy Thomas as a rapid-fire way to continue telling Golden Age stories set in the DCU with the changes wrought by the Crisis. The key problem: Superman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman & Wonder Woman were all now officially gone, meaning that a TON of Thomas' earlier stories now no longer "counted", or had to have been seriously-altered. Thomas, who I imagine was QUITE annoyed (I don't think I've ever heard his opinion on the subject, actually- it's probably quite interesting), decided to create some characters to FILL that void- essentially replacing the characters in those stories with these new guys.

The book doesn't seem to have done too well, but lasted a few years, hitting 31 issues (2.5 years! For a book NOBODY remembers!). It had a few key problems working against it- it represented something DC was trying to get away from (Retroactive Golden Age stories), it messed with a continuity that was still VERY fresh and tenuous (I mean... better off figuring out your CURRENT continuity than messing with stuff via a Retcon Book, y'know?), and its heroes were rather... lame. There was a guy named "Iron Munro" on it. And a "Neptune Perkins". And "Dan the Dyna-Mite". With names like that, and a focus on these guys at the excusion of the rest of the JSA
The book was a mess. Just a giant stinking turd.
1) They decided to make it a direct sales book. Heavier paper, over saturated printing that they hadn't quite mastered. Higher price tag.
2) If a book that was ostensibly about the characters that were supposed to take the place of Superman, Batman, Robin, and Wonder Woman, why in the bloody hell did they make it about a bunch of whiny teenagers? (Answer, because "New Teen Titans" was DC's best selling book at the time, still, AND as such all the groups were about whiny teenagers, e.g. Justice League of America during the Detroit era.)
3) Even as a JSA fan, I accepted that All-Star Squadron was only tangentially about the JSA. But taking the focus off of JQ, Robotman, Liberty Belle, etc.? We didn't even get to see them any more.

I tend to believe the rumour that Dann Thomas was actually doing all of the writing on Roy's DC books at that point, and Roy was just proofreading and collecting a check.

Then again, as I explained before, I think the main goal of the Crisis on Infinite Earths was to figuratively forcibly bugger Roy Thomas as a creator.

I actually liked Neptune Perkins in All-Star Squadron #33-35. I barely recognised him in Young All-Stars.

-Phantasmo is a blue French hero in the Young Allies, the son of a human and an earth elemental (he was descended from a group of monks who agreed to marry elementals in order to give them souls). Like the others, he was never seen after the War, but he probably had the most interesting design out of the group, a blue guy with the cape/logo generic hero design. He is an homage to writers Randy & Jean-Marc Lofficier, who wrote a story involving a Catholic Priest named De Villars in the novel Comte de Gabalis (never heard of them).

-The weakest, but hardest to injure, member of his team. Most of his points come from his two powers, and he lacks any kind of damage-boosting abilities. Being immune to metal in the age of World War II probably came in REALLY handy, though- it's a bit broad, but I'd say its worth 10 points- it lets you be immune to bullets, swords and more, but a regular person can still beat the crap out of you.

Sure. Though I was more genteel about it last month. And left it as in inference.
Ken wrote: Mon Apr 11, 2022 8:07 pm As near as I can tell, All-Star Squadron is WHY there was a Crisis on Infinite Earths; and why Roy shouldn't have been surprised when the promise he supposedly received that Earth-Two would survive the Crisis was reneged on. For a long time, the only time we saw Earth-Two was the summer issues of Justice League of America, and those tended to sell well. Sure occasionally, we might see Jay with Barry on a cover of Flash also, or, rarer still, Alan in Hal's book. But those weren't that often, and Jay doesn't look like Barry or Alan like Hal. The JSA revival in "All-Star Comics" wasn't a great seller, and Dr. Fate, Wildcat, & the kids tended to get the covers.

But then Stan Lee's heir apparent, friggin' Roy "the Boy" Thomas, came to DC. And his stuff sold. All-Star Squadron sold well enough that Infinity Inc. was spun-off from it. And Roy loves DC golden age heroes, and he used them. So now, not only were there long-time DC fans reading one or two monthly Earth-Two books, but Roy had a fan-base from his time at Marvel. All of these former "Marvel zombies" were now reading some DC books. And THEY didn't know DC's history. Never mind that it was Roy who created "Other-Earth/Earth-S" (now known as Earth-712), so parallel Earths weren't the problem per se. But these people who didn't know that Superman with a elongated serif touching the edge of his crest meant one guy, and the guy with the logo from the films was another; that Wonder Woman with the double-W logo was a different woman than the one who still had the eagle emblem. These were the people who were confused by the "multiple Earths". Well, them and the WB management who never looked at the insides of the comics.

It wasn't the multiple Earths. The fact that the events in the Marvel Family stories in Shazam or World's Finest were on a different Earth barely mattered. The Freedom Fighters left Earth-X behind when they got their own book. Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, etc. didn't even debut at DC until Crisis, so putting them on Earth-Four was only necessary BECAUSE of where they debuted. What confused some of the readers were the doppelgänger heroes. And those new readers, and the more frequent appearances of those doppelgängers, were largely due to one man.
So, yeah, Roy liked using DC's golden age heroes. They wouldn't let him to a "Justice Society" title per se. So he did All-Star Squadron and the JSA were major supporting characters. It was successful, so he got to do Infinity Inc., and, again, the JSA were major supporting characters.

The Crisis comes along, and DC takes away Roy's favourite toys. Sure, they let him write The Last Days of the Justice Society of America special, but it was intended to be the last JSA story (at least until there was a power shift in management.)

I believe that if Earth-Two remained something we only saw occasionally in Justice League of America and Flash (and ALWAYS with an explanation), there would not have been a Crisis on Infinite Earths. But Roy Thomas came to DC and DC effed him for having books that sold.

Ah. Why EP is not a corporate executive reason numero uno. I'd have thought they were in the business of selling comic books, not being continuity nerds. Worry about the audience being confused when the books stop selling. In the meantime, pay the writer what's he's worth and enjoy the ride. Sometimes the best explanation is "don't worry about it".

I never got to read any stories with Kuei, Phantasmo, Fireball, etc. who seemed pretty original. I am not surprised that they never took off, but I;m gonna have to go haunt the backissue racks at the comic book shop to see if there are any old issues with them in the bins.
