Probably not a coincidence that most Golden Age superheroes were created around the beginning of WWII:

  • Superman 1938

  • Batman 1939

  • Captain Marvel/Shazam 1939

  • The Human Torch 1939

  • Namor the Sub-Mariner 1939

  • The Flash 1939

  • Captain America 1940

  • Green Lantern 1940

  • Wonder Woman 1941
