Justice Society of America [Atom [Al Pratt]; Sandman [Wesley Dodds]; Spectre [Jim Corrigan]; Flash [Jay Garrick]; Green Lantern [Alan Scott]; Hourman [Rex Tyler]; Doctor Fate [Kent Nelson]; Hawkman [Carter Hall]]; Franklin Delano Roosevelt; Adolph Hitler; The Murder Machine; Nazi spies; Valkyries (summoned by Hitler's Spear of Destiny) (villains) This is a post-Crisis retelling of the JSA's origin, omitting the Earth-2 Batman and Superman appearances from the story itself. Although Batman was easily eliminated, Superman wasn't, because of his last minute rescue of FDR from the Valkyries' attack pre-Crisis. As a result, FDR was killed, but the Spectre was able to return him to life with the stipulation that FDR wouldn't live long enough to see the end of World War 2, known only to the Spectre himself. Things returned to normal, with nobody the wiser of FDR's "death" save one.
