From Wiki- Will Everett is a promising young African-American Olympian who competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Following this, he becomes a janitor at a laboratory owned by Terry Curtis. After an accident where his equipment explodes, Everett develops the ability to mimic whatever properties he touched.[2] The Ultra-Humanite initially employs Everett as a henchman along with Curtis (as Cyclotron) and Deathbolt.[3] He later reforms and joins the All-Star Squadron.[4][5] During Crisis on Infinite Earths, Amazing-Man is among the heroes chosen by the Monitor to stop the Anti-Monitor.[6][7] He loses his original abilities and gains the ability to manipulate magnetism. In the 1950s, J. Edgar Hoover reveals Everett's secret identity to the public, which endangers his family. He becomes involved in the Civil Rights Movement after his nephew is murdered before dying from cancer.[8][9] Back to me:I was glad to see this cool character in the All-Star Squadron. Boy I liked that book, and wish DC would release them in collected reprints. This Amazing Man was Roy Thomas' homage and tribute Bill Everett's Amazing-Man, a character he created for Centaur Publications during the so-called Golden Age of Comic Books.[1] It also gave the JSA just a little more diversity. Cool powers, much more unique than magnetism.
