Golden Age

Events taking place during "Golden Age of Heroism": from World War II to the end of the Space Race and the Vietnam War.

Pre-War

  • ...

World War II

  • Several costumed individuals assist the Allies in the war against the Axis.

Post-War / Cold War

  • Jay Garrick is exposed to a "flash" of tachyon radiation from the drive core of a crashed alien spacecraft at Roswell, New Mexico. He becomes connected to the Speed Force, and eventually becomes the costumed vigilante known as The Flash.

Dark Age

Events taking place during the "Dark Age" where most vigilante heroes had retired; at the height of the Cold War. (~ 1980s-2000s)

  • A Crisis leads the Justice Society of America (JSA) to disband, and the Vigilante Regulation Act (VRA) is signed into law to prohibit future costumed vigilantes. Most of the Justice Society members retire, either voluntarily or under duress. The Department of Extranormal Operations is founded to replace the JSA in combatting costumed crime, and to enforce the VRA. ARGUS is founded to continue protecting the United States from foreign threats; while Checkmate is founded in secret by a mix of government agents and former Justice Society members, to continue the JSA's mission in a covert fashion, outside of legal channels.
  • Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira dies. The Amazons summon her daughter Diana to ascend to the throne in her place, ending a century of exile. Diana returns to Themyscira but declines the throne, leaving her aunt Antiope to serve as Regent while Diana acts as an Amazon ambassador to the outside world. Diana's daughter, Lyta Trevor, returns to Themyscira with her, leaving behind her fiancé Hector Hall.
  • Kent Nelson dies. Requiring a host in order to continue acting in the world, Nabu approaches Hector Hall to become the new Doctor Fate. However, Nabu refuses to allow Hector to ever remove the helmet, effectively hijacking his body as a vessel. This causes a rift between Doctor Fate and Hector's father, his former Justice Society comrade Carter Hall.
