[[Public Domain Character|Public Domain Characters]] galore! A couple dozen [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] super heroes are thrown together in one continuity as planned by [[Alex Ross]], renowned fan of [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]] and
The story goes that, back in [[World War II]], the American Government got Fighting Yank, a [[Superhero]] with [[Charles Atlas Superpower]], the ghost of his Great-Grandfather who gives him advice and a magic cloak, to retrieve Pandora's Urn from Nazi clutches. The mythology of Pandora's Urn goes that when she opened it, all the horror and evil in the world was released from it, but also "hope".
Line 11:
Over sixty years later, racked by guilt, Yank is visited by the American Spirit, a spectral flag, apparently made of the blood of patriots, who tells Yank that the world is worse off without the heroes that the Yank had captured in the Urn and that Yank only had a short time to live. Against his Great-Grandfather's wishes, Fighting Yank decides to don his magic cloak once again and follow the America Spirit.
