== '''Golden Age''' ==

=== World War II ===
+
* Several costumed individuals assist the Allies in the war against the Axis.
+
=== Post-War / Cold War ===
+
* Costumed crime fighters become active in America. A number of costumed criminals arise in response.
+
 
+
* [[Jay Garrick]] is exposed to a "flash" of tachyon radiation from the drive core of a crashed alien spacecraft at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. He becomes connected to the [[Speed Force]], and eventually becomes the costumed vigilante known as [[The Flash]]. ([[1967]])
+
 
+
* The [[Department of Justice]] creates the [[Justice Society of America]] to sanction certain vigilantes, including [[Hawkman]] and [[The Flash]].
+
 
+
* The [[Department of Energy]] is signed into law. The [[Federal Energy Administration]], [[Energy Research and Development Administration]], and [[A.R.G.U.S.|Advanced Research Group]] ([[A.R.G.U.S.]]) become subordinate agencies. ([[1977]])
+
* [[Ronnie Raymond]] is presumed killed as a result of [[Project Firestorm]] experimentation with Martian cold fusion technology. ([[1977]], [http://theholo.net/forum/showthread.php?57719-Project-Firestorm])
+
 
+
== '''Dark Age''' ==
+
Events taking place during the "Dark Age", where most vigilante heroes had retired. Late Cold War, and Gulf Wars. <small>(1980s-2001)</small>
+
 
+
* '''[[The Crisis|Crisis]]'''. Shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, an incident claims the lives of several members of the [[Justice Society of America]] (JSA), including [[Hawkwoman]] and [[Kent Nelson]]. The [[Vigilante Regulation Act]] (VRA) is subsequently signed into law in June [[1989]], officially disbanding the JSA and prohibiting future costumed vigilantes. Most of the former Justice Society members retire, either voluntarily or under duress. [[Checkmate]] is formed in secret by a mix of government agents and former JSA members, to continue their mission in a covert fashion, outside of legal channels. ([[1989]])
+
 
+
* [[Kal-El]] crashes on Earth. He is adopted by [[Jonathan Kent|Jonathan]] and [[Martha Kent]], and raised in [[Smallville]] as [[Clark Kent]].
+
 
+
* [[Bruce Wayne]] is orphaned after his parents are shot in a mugging-gone-wrong. [[Alfred Pennyworth]] becomes his legal guardian.
+
* [[Oliver Queen]] is orphaned when his parents are killed during a safari accident. [[William Glenmorgan]] becomes his legal guardian.
+
 
+
* '''9/11'''. Several acts of metahuman terrorism kill or injure thousands of American citizens, despite efforts by illegal vigilantes to intervene. The death of [[Don Hall|Dove]], a vigilante killed in the incident, leads his brother [[Hector Hall]] to approach [[Nabu]] and offer to become the new host of [[Doctor Fate]], in the hopes of some sort of retaliation. Having been powerless to act for over a decade - since the death of [[Kent Nelson]] - however, and citing his absence as the reason the attacks could not have been foreseen and prevented, Nabu refuses to allow Hector to ever remove the helmet, effectively hijacking his body as a vessel. This causes a rift between Doctor Fate and Hector's father, his former Justice Society comrade [[Carter Hall]]; and the loss of both brothers drives Dove's twin [[Hank Hall]] into retirement. ([[2001]])
