This will be for the upcoming Generation One update. Anyone important that I missed from the early Golden Age?

As was the case on a previous occasion, how are we going to figure the SHAZAM franchise into it? SHAZAM has Golden Age roots, but not with DC. It gets kind of complicated.

I am not sure how they're planning on addressing the whole Shazam situation in the latest continuity reshuffle. For my own timeline, Fawcett City existed separately until it was incorporated into the main Earth following the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Billy's eternal youth is explained as a result of being stuck in suspended animation for decades and the spell that was cast upon Fawcett City during the 1940s. His current incarnation is a result of time shenanigans rebooting him and his family.

I have added the original U-boat fightin’ Aquaman to the Golden Age section of my timeline. This version is distinct enough from the more classic Aquaman that there’s no reason to exclude him. I won’t be including him I the Generation One timeline as it’s unlikely that DC will feel the same way and will stick with their idea that the more Namor-esque version is the only Aquaman that has ever existed in their continuity.
