+Will Everett was a promising young African-American Olympian who had competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Upon returning to America, however,
+By 1942, Everett was working as a janitor at a laboratory owned by Dr. [[Cyclotron|Terry Curtis]]. During an accident involving the explosion of some equipment to which he was exposed (developed by the criminal mastermind the [[Ultra-Humanite]]), Everett quickly developed the ability to mimic whatever properties he touched. For example, if he touched steel, then his body became composed of steel.
 Under the alias of Amazing-Man, at first he was employed by the Ultra-Humanite as a henchman along with Curtis (as Cyclotron) and [[Deathbolt]]. However, his sympathies soon swayed towards the side of good after repeated exposure to the [[All-Star Squadron]], a team of both Golden Age characters and retroactive characters like himself, with whom he joined to defeat his former employer's machinations. He then served a lengthy stint as a member of this voluminous mystery-man organization.
-In February 1942, the Squadron helped Everett defeat the bigoted villain in his home town of Detroit, the [[Real American]], who turned out to be an android supplied by the [[Monitor]]. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Amazing-Man was one of a group of heroes chosen by the Monitor to stop the Anti-Monitor's quest for destruction.
