Ed's Notes: She started her career as a Japanese operative for Axis Amerika, but underwent a heel-face turn and joined up with the Young All-Stars. One of the rare aquatic characters than can survive indefinitely out of the water (at least according to the game) and would be pretty tough to take down in the water for all but the heavier hitters.

First Appearance: All-Star Squadron #33 (May, 1984)

Ed's Notes: Wonder Twin Powers... ka-BOOM! A worthy sidekick to T.N.T., who became a respectable hero in his own right. This could be a REALLY interesting character to play, especially if another PC was willing to play the mentor, T.N.T., to be killed off after a game or three.  He's got room to develop. Also, as usual with sidekicks, why doesn't he have:

Advantage: Connection: T.N.T. (High)? Also: Insta-Change, as Stoic mentioned in the comments section below.

Ed's Notes: Me-yOUCH! The Golden Age Tigress is a badass! Another Femme Fatale of the Golden Age, the Tigress (originally known as the Huntress) was one of the few Young All-Stars that actually debuted in the Golden Age rather than post-Crisis as a fill-in. The WaW Sourcebook doesn't say where the arrows come from, or how many she has, or how long it takes to load the Crossbow... Assume [Ammo: 1], that she has a... bunch? on her... belt? and it takes either an automatic action or 1 phase to load? (Yes, that's a very different tactical situation, but either one is better than firing round after round with impunity! lol)

Ed's Notes: So kind of a Golden Age, WWII era Aquaman. Except he gets it kind of worse than Aquaman.  He can talk to Dolphins and Whales only, can't summon or control them (or marine life in general) and has to stay in the water (or die) but can't BREATHE underwater, OR swim any better than an athletic human! No Swimming Power?! Also, while there is no time limit included on his Fatal Vulnerability, I'm going to assume it's after 1 hour (like Aquaman's) rather than the moment he leaves the water.

Ed's Notes: This is a lot of power in a young hero, especially in the Golden Age.  Could easily be the muscle / tank (big guy) for any group other than the JSA.
