- Ethnic Scrappy: Chop-Chop. Began life as a short, fat, violent comic-relief character. His portrayal got gradually better over the years, and by the Silver Age, he was recognizably human (albeit with some stereotypical elements remaining.) Post-Crisis, Wu Cheng essentially looks like an Asian Clark Gable with a standard uniform who is furious at being depicted as a stereotype as the comics about them.
- My Real Daddy: Blackhawk was created by Will Eisner, Chuck Cuidera, and Bob Powell, but the Golden Age Blackhawk is most often associated with artist Reed Crandall.
- We're Still Relevant, Dammit!: The Blackhawk series increasingly seemed an anachronism in the comics world of the mid-1960s, and DC struggled to make Blackhawk "relevant" during the time of Batmania. DC's solution? Give them new superhero identities!
- André: M'sieu Machine
- Chop-Chop: Dr. Hands
- Chuck: The Listener
- Hendrickson: The Weapons Master
- Olaf: The Leaper
- Stanislaus: The Golden Centurion
- Blackhawk himself managed to avoid the embarrassment of changing. Mere words cannot express the suck of this "new direction." See it here, if you dare.
