Nobody is writing Earth T adventures right now, but the toys are sitting in the sandbox and anyone can play with them. There isn't a lot of continuity around them, so there is a lot of leeway for anyone who wants to play with them (ie, write stories about them). The Captain Thunder from Earth T is white, since he is supposed to the same Captain Thunder who appeared in DC comics issue Superman #276 - Make way for Captain Thunder! However, Doc has created a black Captain Thunder who now lives on Earth 2 - he was somehow squeezed out of his own universe in the Crisis and ended up on Earth 2. See Captain Thunder: Thunderstruck and Captain Thunder: Baltimore Requiem. Captain Thunder talked to Cool Marvel about the heroes on Earth T and theorized that they are more diverse than Earth S because the most famous 1930s hero, Doc Damage (a Doc Savage pastiche) was half-black and inspired a lot of people who on Earth S didn't have a similar heroic inspiration. If anyone were to write Earth T stories, I would hope that some of these still unknown heroes would get their own stories! The Thunders get their powers from Merokee, the last of the great medicine men of the Mohegan tribe. So, similarly to 'Shazam's Squadron of Justice' his name might be lent to the Society of Justice. Nobody has called it that, though. I agree, it would be fun to read about some of the Earth T heroes!

Warlock, the Wizard: Warlock is the last of the White Wizards. He is aided by a wise raven named Hugin. He carries a magical golden wand with a human sized fist at on end. The wand allow his to do most anything if he says his magic word “Abraxas”. First Appearance: Nickel Comics Vol 1 #1 May 1940 Zoro, the Mystery Man: Zoro the Mystery Man is a famous adventurer. A handsome man dressed in a red sports coat, white shirt, blue pants and a black bow tie. He carries a sword cane and will kill with it. He carries cigarettes that are disguised guns. He has a pet Cheetah with the same name as its species. First Appearance: Slam-Bang Comics Vol 1 #6 August 1940 Interesting to know, I thought that due to his name "Warlock", which is a term that designates demonic sorcerers who practice the art of dark magic, he would be a Dark Mage similar to John Constantine. I'm glad that's not the case and he's a White Mage. Cool all this information about Zoro. I find it fascinating that he would be Earth-S's Mister Terrific, a genius who is good at practically everything, I think that would make him a really cool character to work into stories here at the DC 5 Earths Forum.

It's all right Dans, I understand and I give you complete reason, it's a matter of being faithful and respectful to the canon about Captain Thunder, who is the young orphaned White Boy Willie Fawcett who received his super powers magical similar to those of Captain Marvel from the Shaman Merokee the last of the great medicine men of the Mohegan tribe . I think it would be really cool to see adventures being written with the heroes of Earth-T and the members of the Society of Justice led by Captain Thunder. I hope to see writers creating fanfics with these heroes soon. I think it's really cool that Earth-T's superheroes have great diversity and variety, which makes them unique to be worked on in fanfictions and makes them very fascinating and cool characters to read a story about. And I like the fact that they are inspired by the heroes of Earth-S but are at the same time completely new characters. This makes it a legitimate challenge to write stories with Captain Thunder and the super team Society of Justice as the writer has to think deeply to make the characters have their own distinct characteristics and differentiate them from the heroes of Earth-S. I find it very interesting that there is a "Thunder Family" with counterparts of Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr. Well that, DC Comics could have taken a similar idea and created a new Earth-T / Earth-276 for the new DC Multiverse that emerged after the end of Dark Crisis and based on this idea to create a current version of Captain Thunder who is one of the classic superheroes of the DC Universe from the Golden Age of comics. I would really like them to bring back Captain Thunder in the current DC Universe comic book titles. I would also think it would be wonderful if by chance DC Comics brought counterparts of Earth-S heroes to Earth-T / Earth-276 that were inspired by Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., Lieutenants Marvel, Bullet Man, Bullet Woman, Ibis the Invincible , Mr. Scarlet and Pinky the Whiz Kid , Spy Smasher , Minute Man , Phantom Eagle , Golden Arrow etc not necessarily with the same names as the counterparts of the Earth-S heroes here on the DC 5 Earths Forum and bring back Captain Thunder to the new DC Universe. I think it would be very interesting and gratifying to be able to write adventures for fanfictions here at the DC 5 Earths Forum with Captain Thunder and the Society of Justice for the current times of the DC Multiverse chronology here.
