Pretty good article, but missing Oberon Sexton From Morrison's Batman and Robin.
One of my favourite things from classic DC are the 'mayfly' hero's. The pseudo identities and floating identities.
The 'new' hero's who showed up for a day, and for whatever reason turned out not to be what we thought they were. Dial 'H' for hero, and all those stories where Lois Lane and Jimmy Olson became hero's for the day.
People often complain about given classic identities to new hero's to create more diverse hero. Surely this is the area to look to do that...!
