"Superman was not the first super hero of sorts on Earth-Two, Doctor Occult having scooped him (at least in an active career) by some three years. He was succeeded by the Crimson Avenger, a non super powered hero. Then came Batman, the Sandman I, Doll Man, Doctor Fate, Uncle Sam, Midnight, the Human Bomb, The Spectre, Wonder Woman, the Black Condor, Johnny Thunder, the Flash, Liberty Belle, Johnny Quick, the Green Lantern.”
