Quicksilver (better known these days as "Max Mercury") from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe Vol. XIX (September 1986)

I always wished Thomas had used Quicksilver in All-Star Squadron. Granted, he already had two speedsters to work with, but I would have loved to see an updated but faithful depiction of his suite of abilities: speed+gymnastics+a chemical arsenal.

I think he only had a couple of cameo appearance in Young All-Stars #2

and #27.

From Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe Vol. XIX (September 1986):

The Freedom Fighters were initially part of Quality comics, that I did not know.

Technically, the group "Freedom Fighters" was a creation of DC comics; but all the characters that were originally members had previously been published by Quality Comics.
They were formally introduced into the DC Universe in 1973 in issues #107-108 of Justice League of America:

though Golden Age stories of many of the individual Quality characters had been included in things like the 100 Page Super-Spectaculars prior to then.
