Line 7:
The '''''Freedom Fighters''''' are a team of American super-heroes in [[The DCU]], made up of characters bought out from Quality Comics and led by the nation's spirit [[Captain Patriotic|Uncle Sam]]. Originally they were written as the only heroes on Earth-X, a universe where the Nazis won an extended [[World War II]] and had completely taken over. They fought against tyranny and oppression in a completely authoritarian world. Eventually they were integrated into the main [[Shared Universe]]. They still operate together in the modern era mostly using [[Legacy Character|Legacy Characters]] and fight against contemporary problems that face the country such as corruption and terrorism.
The team first appeared in a crossover, featured in ''
In the [[The Eighties|1980s]], the Freedom Fighters got a couple of retro tales in the pages of ''[[All-Star Squadron]]'', a couple of modern tales, and participation in ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]''. Individual members got revamped in [[The Nineties]], and some were replaced by [[Legacy Character]]s. Then most active members died in ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' #1 (December, 2005). To be replaced by even younger [[Legacy Character]]s, and new recruits. The newer version/s of the team received a couple of mini-series over the following years. But so far haven't been more successful than their predecessors in maintaining an ongoing series.
