Notes
- Reprinted in Who's Who Omnibus Vol. 1.
- Ian Karkull's entry makes no mention of the Earth-Two versions of Batman, Robin, and Superman participating in the adventure of All-Star Squadron Annual Vol 1 3. In the Superman-less 1941 of New Earth, it is an open question whether Ian Karkull would include Lightning Master in his plan, or if Lightning Master even existed, as he was a Golden Age Superman enemy.
In the Batman-less, Robin-less, and Catwoman-less 1941 of New Earth, the events of this story would be very different. In New Earth continuity, Ian Karkull's counterpart to the JSA's Sandman might have been Mr. Crossart the Tarantula (first seen on Earth-Two in June 1939) or Roger Goldman the Tarantula (first seen on New Earth in Jan or Feb 1938).
- The Justice League entry states that Batman is one of the founding members, but this was retconned in Secret Origins Vol 2 32, published the following year, where Batman was one the first recruits, but not a founding member. Batman's founding member status was restored after Infinite Crisis.
