[edit] Origin
While carrying out a mission for the All-Star Squadron TNT and Dyna-Mite are ambushed by members of Axis America, during the battle, TNT is killed. Dyna-Mite who barely survives is aided by Arn Munro, a young man who possessed superhuman physical abilities. Iron Munro, Fury (Helena Kosmatos), Flying Fox and Dan help fend off an Axis Amerika attack on Squadron headquarters. The four young heroes meet up with Neptune Perkins and Tsunami while heading out to the West Coast to track down Axis America. Later on they meet and recruit the Tigress. [1]
After routing the forces of Axis America, the five young heroes were invited to join the All-Star Squadron on a probationary basis. They fought foreign and local Axis threats. They also met an older group of metahumans collected by the Allied countries, known as The Young Allies whose members came from Russia, China, France and England. The group was eventually absorbed into the All-Star Squadron and disbanded.[2]
