I'm building a world where the golden age characters are examined in a more modern light. Hence the Gilded Age.
When all is said and done I will present my players with the option of making any golden age character from any company (Timely, DC, Fawcett, Quality, Lev Gleason etc.)
I have been thinking of ways to tie bits of disparate continuity together and coming up with..... well I suppose the term would be retcons, but that doesn't seem right.
For example. Instead of blond haired Steve Trevor washing up on the shores of Paradise Island it's Steve Rogers. Diana returns to "man's world" with the injured hero after modelling her costume on the Captain America uniform under his amy fatigues and the eagle mural on his downed plane. His indestructible round shield would be a gift from the gods to replace his heavily dented original.
I want this to be good so I'm looking to get as many helpful suggestions as possible.
Thanks in advance.
