    Here I chose Shock Gibson, the “interesting” thing is that he has 2 pages for him, as “hero” and “Nazi” a convaluted backstory and all but I decided to take liberty and do my own headcanon as a type of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde type character transformation.

    Im showing both the hero and nazi version of this character in one picture split down the middle. Mr. Gibson was a common soldier in the army when he went under a super soldier test to become the War Hero Shock Gibson!, however a secret Nazi spy infiltrated and added to the hero project a secret nazi sleeper agent. Making at random times Shock Gibson transform into a nazi lightning powered villian.

    I’ve created the Silver Age version of Ace’s Lightning:

    http://eldacur.com/~brons/Comics/Brons-Lightning-Silver-Age.png

    In 1947, ten year-old Ted Branson was on vacation with his parents near Roswell, New Mexico, when the first alien scout-craft of the Knurl discovered earth. A second alien vessel, piloted by an entity known only as the High Luminary showed up and a battle broke out between the two. The Knurl craft crashed. Young Ted’s parents were killed in the crash. The High Luminary, feeling guilty, transported the body up to the ship, and withdrew to the orbit of Jupiter, where for the next 15 years he educated Ted, before returning him to earth.

    The Luminary gave Branson a powerful gift, the Amulet of Transcendence. The Amulet, which he wears as a gauntlet on his right arm, grants him powers including super-strength, super-speed, flight, the ability to generate electricity and radiate “lightning heat,” and a measure of invulnerability (e.g., he can contain the explosion of a grenade with his bare hands). His powers can be recharged by electricity. He was given the condition that his powers would work only for good.

    See http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_(Ace) for the original Golden Age character.

    Sigh…

    Brons: transported the body up to the ship

    That was supposed too be “transported the boy up to the ship”.
