All-American uses a multiverse. The Golden Age characters exist on Earth-Zero, while Silver/Bronze Age characters are on Earth-One. All Marvel characters published before 1958 are property of All-American. So the All-Winners Squad exists alongside the JSA on Earth-Zero. Roy Thomas still created the Invaders, but with Nedor characters instead.
Why am I flashing to a future Elseworlds story by Roy Thomas, Jeph Loeb, or Paul Dini and Alex Ross involving one Stevie Rogers as a latter-day Wonder Girl/Woman? Between a demigoddess mother and supersoldier serum guinea pig father, with liberal doses of Lamarck Was Right, she'll have to beat suitors off with a sword of Haphaestus and Shield of Liberty!
Thanks to Weisinger keeping Batman and Superman to himself, Green Arrow got to shine as a member of DC's Legion of Superheroes. He is more popular than in our timeline.
I could have sworn that New Fun/More Fun was an All American book. Certainly all the rest of the Seven Soldiers of Victory were All American characters. I had had high hopes that Green Arrow could have been All American's rough equivalent of Batman. Still, this is a better fate fior Ollie than OTL so far, even if it means no Hard Travelling Heroes.

1. No. ITTL, Vietnam never escalated beyond Kennedy's advisor stage. Characters with a connection to Vietnam are extremely rare.
2. No. Deathstroke is a DC villain.
3. As a general rule the Golden Age All-American writers didn’t use sidekicks. I kept that idea going. So sidekicks are very rare. So a Silver/Bronze Age Bucky wasn't created. Cap only got Golden Girl as a partner because the TV people wanted her. The Captain America and Bucky stories of the 1950s were assigned to Earth-Six. Instead, the Golden Age Bucky was shown to have assumed a new moniker in 1950s, the Volunteer.
4. Actually, this was a mistake. I began to apply pieces of Captain Comet's history to Green Lantern. So I changed swapped GL's ID with Cap's ID, but forgot to update the graphic. I have corrected this mistake. Cap's ID is now Hal Jordon and GL is Adam Blake.
In otherwords, that wasn't Steve in the campy '60s show, it was Hal. Why do I get the feeling that Hal will be getting it worse than OTL Kara, but not let to come back?
1. No. This character does not exist. The Green Lantern Corps does not exist, but the Guardians do. GL is just one of many agents the Guardians use. The Guardians that I have in mind are those that appeared in the Captain Comet stories. The name will pop up in GL mythos, because of GL/Lensmen connections.
2. Yes. They are origins are slightly different.
You've just broken Alan Moore's, Dave Gibbons', Peter David's, Jeph Loeb's, and Geoff John's little hearts. And Mine.

1. None. His origin is closely related to the Silver Age Aquaman. ITTL, DC continues to use Aquaman's Golden Age origin. So TTL's Aquaman is not an Atlantean and Atlantis is full of merpeople (such as Lori Lemaris). His ID comes from main protagonist of the Poe novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Stingray's ID is the same as another character in the novel.
Within this context, what does Arther Curry have to do with the price of tea in China?
BTW, Does Mr. Pym ever get to meet Namor?
Snip.
1. Not exactly. Throughout the Silver and Bronze Ages, there is considerable debate on whether he is a metahuman or not (similar to debate on OTL's Green Arrow). The debate will be rendered moot by a revelation in the mid-1990s.
Please tell me that Tony Isabella or Christopher Priest is writing that storyline. Please!
1. None. I originally planned to use Moon Girl's origin, but thought it seemed overly sexist even for the 1950s. So I merged elements from the Silver Age Hawkgirl's origin into it. She is an envoy from the planet Thanagar. She first came to Earth chasing Byth, the shape-changing thief and decided to stay.
2. Neither. She is Wonder Woman's cousin.
In other words, she's All American's version of Starman, or the Just Imagine Stan Lee Superman, as a distaff counterpart.
