DC and Marvel both had so many obscure characters back in the 40s and 50s. I mean...a lot of those old national and timely comics had multiple features in one issue. I haven't read many of them, but i know they do due to reading about it all off of wikis. Marvel/Timely had the Whizzer, the original Angel, the original Vision, Red Raven, Blue Diamond, Jack Frost, the Blonde Phantom, the Thin Man (a stretching hero made even before plastic man!), etc.

Meanwhile, DC had a lot of minor characters too, who we really don't talk about much. Air Wave, the original Mr. Terrific, Liberty Belle, Slam Bradley, Roy Raymond, Mark Merlin, Doctor Thirteen, Sargon the Sorcerer, etc. Both companies have an abundance of characters from those old decades, and they don't seem to do much with them. Which is a shame, because I'm sure you could make good use of all these characters.

Marvel Two-in-One Annual #1 (Thomas/Buscema, June 1976). A tightly conceived companion/sequel to this year’s FF Annual… But Roy Thomas is more determined to make the Liberty Legion happen than Gretchen Wieners wanted “fetch” to happen.

This whole issue was mostly an Angel Spotlight (although not nearly as much as this cover might make you believe), but I was pretty much fine with that. Also interesting that Roy Thomas pulled out Red Raven, a golden age marvel character who only showed up once (according to wikipedia). But I've heard Roy Thomas did a lot of stuff with Golden Age Heroes (X-Men #44):
