First Appearance: All-Star Squadron #1 (September 1981)

Created at the request of the President, the All-Star Squadron was a group of super-heroes which operated from New York for the duration of World War Two. Co-chaired by Hawkman and Liberty Belle, it counted as members almost all mystery men and women active during the period. The Squadron had links with other organizations: Plastic Man served as the group's liaison with the FBI, and Uncle Sam led a small group of heroes to become the Freedom Fighters, operating from Washington DC. There was also a 'junior' division, the Young All-Stars, created to give younger heroes a place to belong. Prevented from fighting on the main fronts of the war, the All-Stars concentrated on thwarting saboteurs, fifth-columnists and other enemies of the state on U.S. territory. The group lasted only as long as the war - when hostilities were ended, the individual heroes and teams drifted apart to fight crime and other evils in their own ways.
