Picking up from the events of a short story in Detective Comics #1027, the main DC Universe timeline is going haywire in Generations Shattered #1, fragmenting itself into its different eras as various heroes revert their appearance to reflect classic periods while reality distorts itself around them. As the chaos leads to a chronal storm threatening to consume the DCU and its divergent timelines, an unlikely band of heroes from across DC's colorful history band together to stop the destruction of reality and restore the space-time continuum to how it once was.

Now, we're taking a closer look at everyone assembled by Booster Gold's trusty robotic companion Skeets to take on the villains manipulating the timeline while reality itself hovers at the brink of total annihilation.

Kamandi

Jack Kirby's Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth lunging at reader

Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth, is the first hero recruited for Skeets' time-traveling expedition, plucked from his post-apocalyptic future as it's consumed by the chronal storm. Approached by an older version of Booster Gold before the superhero is mortally wounded, Kamandi is bonded to the elder Booster's Skeets' and escapes in the Time Sphere before his world is torn asunder.

Created by Jack Kirby in 1972's Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #1, Kamandi was a human boy struggling to stay alive in the vision of Earth devastated by an event known as the Great Disaster. Kamandi's history has been recently referenced as part of the history leading to the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Batman

Batman in his original Golden Age costume in DC Comics

The Golden Age Batman, complete with prominent purple gloves was recruited by Kamandi and Skeets in Detective Comics #1027, as a routine mission by the Dark Knight in the present abruptly contorted to reflect a 1930s time period.

This vision of Batman matches his original appearance, created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939's Detective Comics #27. The Generations prologue in the Detective Comics short story indicated that the date Kamandi and Skeets approached him was September 1, 1939, the day World War II broke out, further tying this Caped Crusader to his original time period.

Starfire

Marv Wolfman and George Perez's high-flying Teen Titan Starfire is recruited by the team, straight from the New Teen Titans era where she became an instant hit with readers after first bursting on to the scene in 1980's DC Comics Presents #26.

Starfire is plucked straight out of 1983, with the rest of her team consumed by the unrelenting chronal storm and is one of the most fiery members of the time-traveling ensemble.

Steel

John Henry Irons as Steel

One fan-favorite period visited by the time travelers is "Reign of the Supermen," the '90s era of Superman comic books that saw four figures rise up to defend Metropolis in the wake of the Last Son of Krypton's death at the hands of Doomsday. Among these was Steel, a scientist named John Henry Irons wearing a powerful suit of armor.

Created by Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove in 1993's The Adventures of Superman #500,  Steel is seen battling the villainous Cyborg-Superman before he is recruited by Skeets and the cybernetic antagonist is consumed by the chronal storm.

Superboy

The most iconic DC time-traveling superhero team is the Legion of Super-Heroes but only one Legionnaire is rescued and recruited onto Kamandi and Skeets' team: Superboy. The Silver Age Clark Kent was recruited by the Legion after they traveled back to his teenage years to let him know what an inspiration he would become. This history would eventually be restored by the 2005 crossover event Infinite Crisis, which confirmed that Clark served as Superboy and a Legionnaire while in high school.

After Kamandi and the team recruit Superboy moments before this vision of the 31st century is destroyed by a chronal storm, Skeets revealed that the intended target was Brainiac-5 due to his superior intellect. Unfortunately, Skeets and the others were not fast enough to stop Brainiac from being obliterated with the rest of the Legion.

Sinestro

Sinestro Wears Green Ring Again

Before Hal Jordan donned the Power Ring to become recognized as one of the greatest Green Lanterns of them all, his mentor and eventual nemesis Sinestro was widely seen as one of the universe's greatest defenders in the Green Lantern Corps. The revelation that he had been using his powers to brutally subjugate his home world would lead to his expulsion from the Corps and him becoming one of its greatest enemies.

Created by Gil Kane and John Broome in 1961's Green Lantern #7 (vol. 2), Sinestro is seen still in his Green Lantern persona when he's recruited by Kamandi. This marks the second time in recent history that Sinestro has wielded a Green Lantern Power Ring to save the day, after a brief return to the Corps during the crossover event Dark Nights: Death Metal.

Booster Gold

DC Comics Booster Gold

While an elder Booster Gold may have been killed in the midst of recruiting Kamandi, a younger iteration of the superhero joins the team. While Old Man Booster was a grizzled, selfless individual, this classic counterpart still appears to be driven primarily by fortune and glory as he seeks to make a name for himself in the past.

Booster Gold was created by Dan Jurgens -- who co-writes Generations Shattered and illustrates several segments of the special -- in 1986's Booster Gold #1. A museum janitor in the 25th century, Michael Jon Carter stole superhero equipment and a time machine before traveling to the past to introduce himself as the capitalist superhero Booster Gold.

Doctor Light

Out of the fires of Crisis on Infinite Earths a new superhero arose in Japanese scientist Kimiyo Hoshi, whose latent photonic superpowers were activated by the Monitor. Taking on the mantle as the new, heroic Doctor Light, Kimiyo played a prominent role helping the heroes against the Anti-Monitor to save reality.

Kamandi and Skeets recruit Kimiyo to help save reality once again, with her appearance matching her introduction in 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 by Wolfman and Perez.
