Featured Characters
A superhero team recreated after the doom of Earth's major superheroes, the All-Star Squadron began as an alliance of Golden Age superheroes, who were gathered under the orders of President Franklin Roosevelt to defend the United States from extra-natural threats. The group was disbanded after the Justice League's creation, but in the aftermath of Trigon's invasion, it was remade by the Phantom Stranger to unite the remaining heroes of the world to fill the void the deceased heroes left. The team is headquartered within a structure in Hub City known as the All-Star Apartment, which used to be the residence of the Question (Vic Sage).
