True, but then... they could've came first and then the JSA characters could be mentioned as being in their past.
Means Earth-2 would've been an Infinty, Inc book instead of a JSA book, but then... it's not like it was really a JSA book, anyway.

Agreed. I loved them and I miss them in a nostalgic way but I can't really imagine Northwind or Fury or Silver Scarab or Nuklon making much sense in today's climate. They've been gone so long they've gone too far out of style.
A lot of great books, characters, and concepts came out of the post-CoIE reboot but what it did to Earth-Two was terrible and wholly unnecessary.
The characters I miss most that were lost in that shuffle, in the order of my missing them, are Helena Wayne, E-2 Richard Grayson, and Sylvester Pemberton.
Anyone remember when Obsidian and Nuklon were members of the Justice League??

yes, they are missed.
One of the benefits of Pre-Crisis IInc was they could take on the coming of age thing in a way that Teen Titans simply couldn't for commercial reasons. Of course, right as that was picking up steam, the key parents all got disappeared, and IInc became just "the other LA superhero team."

I miss the original Infinity Inc. There first appearance in the All-Star Squadron arc is still a fave of mine.
I though things could have worked out on Clutter-Earth for them. They could've just done a friendly East Coast/West Coast, JSA kids vs JLA sidekicks rivalry. Y'know...JSA jr vs JLA jr.

With Sylvester we have a series of indeterminate timeframes. How old was he when he started his career? How many years passed between that and the SSV being time displaced? Add the unknown period he spent in prehistoric times. And then how much Earth Two time passed between JLA #102 and Infinity, Inc. #!? It's an undetailed mess.
I miss them and think we need an Earth 2 reinstated to do them any justice. Earth 1's Justice League had the Teen Titans and Earth 2's Justice Society had Infinity Inc as a counterpoint to that.
A variation on the sidekick theme that deserves more exploration - the intergenerational drama of hero-hood betwixt heroes actually related to one another.
Big difference, though: the members of Infinity Inc., unlike many of the original Teen Titans, were never "sidekicks".
They were mostly the sons and daughters of the older generation of heroes. They didn't spend their teenage years fighting beside members of the JSA.
