Notes
- Slam Bradley was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, first appearing in Detective Comics #1. However, in the Prime Earth continuity, Slam Bradley first appeared as part of the New 52 DC Universe in New Super-Man #16 by Gene Luen Yang and Brent Peeples.
Trivia
- There is a significant amount of evidence that Slam Bradley is the father of Thomas Wayne, having slept with Constance Wayne shortly prior to the death of Patrick Wayne and nine months prior to Thomas' birth. As Patrick and Constance's marriage was loveless and tense and given that Constance later approached Samuel to act as a father figure for Thomas, it is much more likely that Samuel is Thomas' father than the alternative. However, the matter remains ambiguous.[2]
- Bradley served in the Korean War, gaining 137 confirmed kills, perhaps more unconfirmed.[3]
