Here's Mick! And yes. She is Cassidy's sister however Hema and Legion had adopted Mick when she was about 4.

She's friends with Reformed Lunar and Ares. ( they know its isn't her fault for their parent's actions plus she was TERRIFIED during The Flash Incident. )

The Copycat Incident happens in FNI: Reopened Files and The "Flash" Incident happens in FNI: New Beginnings

I got my hands on 60 pics of the actor portraying Captain Allen (DBH). I will become SO annoying! I'll drown my part of Tumblr in Allen fanart. Unfollow me now, it will be hilarious.

So I was doing a bit of reading into the history of Central City for a school project I was doing, when I came across some records of a masked "mystery man' known as "The Spirit." It seems he operated in the same time frame as Jay Garrick, but there simultaneously no reports of the two working or interacting with each other... ever, so I wanted to see your input on this.

Here's a picture of him I found:

Thanks!

As is often this case this seems to be a confluence of a historical mystery, some open questions, and some real information being tossed in for flavor.

Similar to the post I did on the idea of "The Shadow" not too long ago, another pulpy detective hero who has a long shadow in pop culture due to the 'legend' of him being picked up and carried into the modern day but the evidence for his actual existence is shoddy at best. Very few, if any police reports survive from any of the actions he supposedly took and since his appearance wasn't until 1942 in most tellings of his tale it stretches credulity that he and Jay Garrick never crossed paths, OR that the man never served in the All Star Squadron when all mystery men of his era were explicitly ordered to report at least their EXISTENCE to the organization should they be needed.

The tales of The Spirit's prime exploits are hard to parse from fiction because they were "adapted" into a mega popular comic strip by comic pioneer Will Eisner for the Register and Tribune Syndicate starting in late 1942 which is why his career, if it occurred is assumed to start somewhere around then. Police reports and other solid records that might confirm his existence are hard to come by due to the obscurity of him in the wide range of wartime heroes and the muddling of the waters via his fictional exploits.

By that same metric, he also resembles a wartime mystery man whose existence and exploits can be much more easily confirmed. Dave Clark, the radio announcer for UXAM in Big CIty, Michigan moonlighted (ha) as the fedora and domino mask wearing pulp detective called Midnight, not to be confused with Doctor Midnite. His career was unimpressive in a grand scheme but he DOES actually show up on the roll calls of not only the All Star Squadron but the Freedom Fighters in particular and he even has a modern equivalent though precious little is known about him.

In the end, I think I have to come down with the same stamp I did on the Shadow. While its not impossible for a superhero to have existed in the Golden Age that no other heroes met or can account for, who didn't answer the call to assemble the Squadron and whose disappearance after the war made no splash and left no legacy behind I can't prove a negative, or accept a "might be" as factual.
