Line 13:
The success of the series led to the launch of [[Infinity Inc]], whose characters appeared in the progenitor series thanks to time travel. James Robinson's ''[[Starman (Comic Book)|Starman]]'' and Geoff Johns' ''[[Justice Society of America]]'', two of DC's current successes, owe as much inspiration to Thomas' ''All-Star Squadron'' as they do to the original 40s comics and the Levitz/Staton revitalization in the 70s.
 
{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes that apply to the series as a whole include: ===
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Sort of; rarely appearing characters with no background were used, who were "extras" with respect to [[DC Comics]] as a whole, but still starred in their own strips.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: The minor character Midnight was used as a stand-in for [[The Spirit]], who was created by the same company but belonged solely to his creator, [[Will Eisner]]. The Young All-Stars team were also Captain Ersatzes of the vanished Golden Age/Earth-2 heroes.
