HISTORY
A group of heroes also known as Law's Legionnaires who operated in the 1940s. Their membership comprised Crimson Avenger I, Shining Knight, Star-Spangled Kid I, Stripesy, Stuff, the Chinatown Kid, Vigilante I and Spider I, with Wing serving as an honorary eighth soldier. The group was betrayed by the Spider, a villain in disguise, and in a battle with the Nebula Man, Wing was killed and the others thrown to various time periods, from which they were rescued by the Justice Society of America and the Justice League of America. The group disbanded after their return to the twentieth century.
