The Young Allies are a team of DC Comics superheroes who operated during World War II, created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas and Michael Bair. The team and most of its members debuted in Young All-Stars #22 (January 1989).
This band of young heroes first appeared on a morale-boosting mission to the United States in a story set in 1942. They were inadvertently involved in one of the All-Stars' cases when Axis Amerika attempted to steal plutonium from Albert Einstein and his colleagues in St. Louis (Young All-Stars #22-26). After this case, these heroes returned to their homelands and have not made any appearances in modern times.
Each member hailed from a country allied with the U.S. during World War II. Of the team's members, only the Squire originally appeared during the 1940s (Batman #62), the others having been retconned (retroactively inserted into continuity).
