HISTORY

During World War II, a young native of neutral Sweden joined the Norwegian Underground to fight the invading Germans. In 1951, this boy donned a red-and yellow costume, and, inspired by the JSA, became the Wingman, one of the first costumed heroes to emerge outside the United States.

In 1957, Wingman joined the African Doctor Mist, the British Knight and Squire, the Italian Legionary, the Argentinean Gaucho, the French Musketeer, (and later possibly the Australian Ranger), and founded the international Dome (a.k.a. the Club of Heroes), an organization that would later evolve into the Global Guardians.

(Note: Pre-Crisis, the Wingman was an obscure European hero who assisted Batman once in 1951. That story has now been retconned away.)
