The Forgotten Heroes are fictional superhero team in the DC Comics universe. The group is composed of superheroes that had faded from the limelight. They initially appeared in "Action Comics" #552 (February 1984).

Fictional history

Pre-Crisis

In their original adventures prior to the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Forgotten Heroes are all superheroes who, at one point in their career, had discovered a mysterious golden pyramid. When they attempt to report the discovery, they find themselves censured by the US Government. ["Action Comics" #552] . The members of the team are brought together by Immortal Man, who reveals to them that the pyramids are the work of his eons-old foe, Vandal Savage. With the aid of Superman, the Forgotten Heroes destroy the golden pyramids and save the Earth. Members of this version of the Forgetten Heroes are:
*Animal Man
*Cave Carson
*Congo Bill
*Dane Dorrance
*Dolphin
*Immortal Man
*Rick Flag
*Rip Hunter

In "Crisis on Infinite Earths" #10, Animal Man, Dolphin and Rip Hunter again team up, along with Adam Strange, Captain Comet and the Atomic Knight, but this assemblage is never referred to as "the Forgotten Heroes."

The Forgotten Heroes have an evil counterpart, the Forgotten Villains. Member of this team include Atom-Master, Enchantress, Faceless Hunter, Kraklow, Mr. Poseidon, and Ultivac. ["DC Comics Presents" #77 (January 1985)]

A new version of the Forgotten Heroes is formed in "Resurrection Man" #24 (March 1999), when some of the original members mistake Mitch Shelley for a reincarnated Immortal Man.

*Cave Carson
*Fetish
*The Ray
