Originally these characters were created by Hanna Barbera for cultural diversity to be included in the SuperFriends show. The Wonder Twins on the other hand, were to get kids to watch it.

Most of them have already appeared in DC Comics, among which were:

Samurai - appeared in the 3rd Super Powers mini series was revealed to have been granted cyclonic powers from the New Gods

The Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna - became members of Captain Atoms 1990's Justice Leaguce, called "Extreme Justice."

Apache Chief (real name Manitou Raven) - recently appeared in the JLA storyline Obsidian Age, became a regular member, and later joined Vera Black's Justice League Elite. He later died passing on his powers to his wife.

As for Black Vulcan, a similarly powered character is currently a member of the Justice League of America and had been around since the 1970's - Black Lightning.

Have you guys seen the episode in Justice League Unlimited where they parodied the characters of Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, Samurai & the Wonder Twins?

That was a blast!!!

I just noticed this in the solicitations, so Roy Harper (the former Speedy) will now be going under the codename, Red Arrow afhub/duh.gif

I've always thought Arsenal sounded cooler

Going a bit off topic, but yes, that JLU episode was meant to be a tribute to the Superfriends, you may have also noticed the Ultimen's Hall of Justice-esque headquarters, and the choice of JLU members who appeared in the episode-Supes, Bats, WW and Aquaman, who were the founding members of the Superfriends afhub/offtopic.gif

The sculpt on the Kubert Batman looks promising.
