The Twelve

The Twelve are a group of (you guessed it) twelve heroes, all of whom barely even knew each other back in the Golden Age, but were brought together by a Nazi plot that inadvertently caused them to rest in suspended animation from 1945 to the recent past.

Now attempting to find their places in a world they barely recognize, the Twelve consist of these out-of-date vigilantes:
