The DC version of the characters were said to reside on the Parallel World of "Earth-X," where World War II never ended. The original Golden Age adventures of the individual characters, which were contradicted by the new stories, were said to take place on "Earth-Quality", although this Earth never actually appeared or was even referenced in a published story. Since the Crisis On Infinite Earths , the Freedom Fighters have been based in the main DC Universe , and were part of the All-Star Squadron . After war times, the team surfaced again, years later, with the rise of a new age of heroes. The Justice Society , Blackhawks and Freedom Fighters were captured by the alien Appellax creatures and placed in concentration camps. They were freed by the new Justice League Of America .

The Human Bomb, Black Condor and Phantom Lady were killed by the Society in '' Infinite Crisis '' #1. Damage was critically injured, Iron Munro was not there for some reason, and the Ray was captured by the Psycho-Pirate and told that Luthor wanted him alive. DC has announced a new Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters series to premier in July or August 2006, which will continue from ''Crisis Aftermath: The Battle for Bludhaven''. How this connects to their deaths is unknown. So far, the alleged roster for this new team will be a new Phantom Lady, a new Ray, a new Human Bomb, and the fourth Firebrand as well as others, as seen from previews. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
