The Golden Age of Comics saw the birth of the superhero genre, with the inaugural issue of Action Comics being the first to clothe heroism in an ensemble of capes and tights. In the wake of Superman’s debut, several other publishers (some of which would become part of what’s now known as DC Comics) created their own characters. As a result, DC now has several forgotten heroes whose origins lie in the Golden Age.
While many of the members of the Justice Society of America are still revered, numerous Golden Age heroes have fallen by the wayside. Part of this is due to their almost sole association with the JSA, which isn’t nearly as prominent as the Justice League. Others are quite similar to modern DC heroes, albeit with interesting twists that separate them from their more recent counterparts.
Dan Garrett was the teacher of Ted Kord, who succeeded him as a powerless version of Blue Beetle. Likewise, Jaime Reyes was able to recover and tap into the true power of Garrett’s scarab. Sadly, Dan himself is rarely mentioned, even among other Golden Age heroes. He has no ties to the Justice Society, which is perhaps his biggest mark of obscurity.
