Mr. Walters was injured in action and retired, and the twins continued their career alongside the original Black Owl, Doug Danville. Unlike his brother Dick, Rick never strayed too far from the Owl's Nest. Unfortunately, Doug Danville's career as vigilante had earned him too many enemies and he was ultimately killed. Belle, Danville's daughter, under the nickname of The Harpy, almost killed her father's assassin but was stoped by Rick and the two together brought the criminal to justice. Belle became Rick's companion in adventures, as well as a sentimental partner (despite the age difference between them). The two of them were part of the Crime Busters. Rick slightly altered his uniform and his nom de guerre as he got older, changing his name to the Yankee Eagle.

He had no powers, but he was as strong and acrobatic as his brother and also had all the resources of the Owl's Nest. Unlike his brother Dick, Rick aged normally, although he always remained in exceptional physical shape, despite his age.

Cyclone was part of the Crime Busters and also the Battle Squadron.

Harry's consciousness was transferred to Yankee Doodle Jones' android body. Paradoxically, doing so Harry became virtually immortal. Yankee Doodle Jones' mind also survived, in his case as a disembodied cyber-entity still giving advice to Harry. After a period of adaptation to his new body, Harry resumed his heroic career under the Liberty Man alias, helping found and fund the Young Heroes Alliance, establishing his base of operations at the Liberty Foundation Headquarters in Dynamic City. Liberty Man dated Danni Miller, daughter of cartoonist detective Pen Miller, and niece of Danny (Djinni) Miller (and heir to the Magic Ring).

When his father became the Black Owl, the children became his young sidekicks, assuming the identities of Yank and Rebel. The trio enlisted the help of Inspector Foley of the Prize City Police Departmemt. Unfortunately, Walt Walters was seriously injured in a shooting and was forced to withdraw from the fight against crime, although he continued to help Doug and the twins, designing new devices and taking care of the intendance and communications of the trio (basically, "The Guy In The Chair"). Douglas Danville returned from the front line and took up the mantle of the Black Owl. Sometime later, Danville met Doris Parker, the vigilante nicknamed Scarlet Sable, first as rivals and then as allies. Doris and Douglas eventually married and had a daughter, Belle, who would end up becoming the Harpy.

So anyone who wanted to appropriate the formula would be very disappointed. At first, Dash used the powers of the Metabo-serum to win an inter-university competition against Elay University, breaking four world records at the same time. That's when the press dubbed him the Human Meteor, a name he later used when he decided to use his new abilities to fight crime. Dash married Dr. Moss daughter, Bettie. 

Meanwhile on Earth-164B: Simon Binder, a professional driver suffered a serious accident as a result of which he received a blood transfusion from Dash Dartwell.

Eunice's business was threatened by Otto "Dandy" Kandie, a tycoon who wanted to take over the property by any means, legal or not. Van Crawford (who was secretly Captain Saucer-Man) had recently met Sugar and decided to help her keep her business (even if he had to use her heroic alter-ego to do so).

Their friendship turned into a courtship and not long after, the courtship bore fruit in marriage.

HISTORY 

Vance "Van" Crawford was a carefree wealthy heir, a world expert in hobbies of all kinds. One day, while playing golf, he witnessed a UFO crash very close to where he was. Van did not hesitate to approach the ship and inside it found a dying techno-organic creature. While trying to help the being, the alien came into physical contact with Van. The creature spoke a few words in its unintelligible tongue, then its form liquefied into a dark fluid that washed into Van. Vance woke up in his bed a few hours later thinking that maybe it had just been a bad dream brought on by indigestion. However, Van discovered that he was able to "manifest" a strange suit, and that when he did, he gained extraordinary powers that he did not quite understand or master. The latter did not dissuade him from using them, moreover, Van became a superhero. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Van was a round guy, albeit tremendously agile for his weight and bulk. He was not a good fighter, and he was somewhat clumsy, but no one could beat him in will and courage. When he was in the form of Captain Saucer Man, Van was able to fly faster than sound, fire force bolts, deflect bullets, survive in the vacuum of space or the seafloor, and was also able to communicate telepathically. It is possible that the uniform-symbiote possessed more powers, but it is unknown.
