Formation

Hector Hall, Lyta Trevor, Norda Cantrell and Albert Rothstein decided to adopt identities of their own and apply for membership in the Justice Society of America. The four of them adopt the codenames of Silver Scarab, Fury, Northwind and Nuklon respectively. They are turned down but not willing to give up the four apply again with Jennie-Lynn Hayden and Todd Rice, both Alan Scott's children. Feeling pity on the youngsters Star-Spangled Kid decided to leave the JSA in order to create a new group, in which they were also joined by Power Girl, The Huntress and Brainwave, Jr., calling themselves Infinity, Inc..^[1]

The team first faces the Justice Society of America, turned evil by the Stream of Ruthlessness, thanks to the Ultra-Humanite. They are able to defeat the JSA and the Ultra-Humanite and the team saves the world.^[2] In a press conference (to garner media attention for the new team) the team publicly divulge their secret identities, revealing those of their parents in the process, and Hector also announces his engagement to Lyta. The Star-Spangled Kid is able to form a partnership with the city of Los Angeles to commission his team as for-hire protectors, and uses his purchased studio property to revitalize its movie productions. ^[3]
