NotesThe Crusaders is the name used by two teams of superheroes, one group appearing in DC Comics and the other in Marvel Comics, at around the same time as part of an informal crossover. The DC Comics team was created by Bob Rozakis and Dick Ayers in the pages of Freedom Fighters #7 Mar-April (1977). The Marvel Comics version of the Crusaders first appeared in Invaders #14, written by Roy Thomas and drawn by Frank Robbins. The names of the DC team are actually taken from relatively obscure Golden Age DC Superheroes. The characters have counterparts in Marvel's Invaders. The Americommando - (based on Captain America, actually the Silver Ghost) Barracuda - (based on Namor) Fireball - (based on the Human Torch) Rusty - (based on Bucky) Sparky - (based on Toro)
