* Wesley Dodds A.K.A. the '30s Sandman coming out of retirement in [[Starman (comics)|Starman]] #22. The splash panel of the last page where he decides to put on the costume one last time and rescue Jack, even if it kills him (he's in his 80s) certainly qualifies. |

** It is important to note, considering that the rest of the JSA are also technically 80, that Sandman is ACTUALLY IN HIS PHYSICAL EIGHTIES during this. |

* Solomon Grundy's gentle incarnation, or Solly, had a chain of completely awesome moments: the Infernal Doctor Pip, an insane arsonist, was demolishing building after building in Opal. So Jack goes to stop him; in the process, Pip escapes, and Jack is trapped in a crumbling building as it collapses. Just when he thinks he won't make it, the debris stops... and it's Solly, repaying Jack's kindness by holding the debris for long enough for Jack to escape. He then falls himself, crushed under the weight. With the help of the Floronic Man, Batman, Green Lantern and Jack go into a [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]] into Solly's mind to do battle with the other, evil Solomons... and begin losing. Then the aged Starman, Ted Knight, goes into the same battle... and turns up ''in full Starman regalia, in his prime''. He then begins brawling with them, turning the tide, scaring the other Solomons enough to let the others leave... though Solly still dies, completing his [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. |
