Those are the ones with character sheets. Some sections include a handful of "lesser" characters who just get a short paragraph, and the first part of Chapter 6 is a run-through of characters who have sheets in other CU titles, but there's going to be well over 60 total new complete character writeups.

Hence the Mechanically-Enhanced Brick in the archetype list. There were several robots (a couple of which were human brains in cans), and at least one notable retcon in Commander Steel (who was basically the Six Million Dollar Man thirty years early, making him at best the Two Or Three Million Dollar Man.)

Aah, I think I get you now. (You really need more complete sentences, if you're going to go around calling yourself QuestionMan!) Golden Age is a "Low-Powered Supers" setting according to the standards set in 6e1. It doesn't use NCM. Most of the characters have 50-60 AP for their main power, but there's a wide variety there depending on their roles. 
 
And there's a ridiculously-complete list of archetypes and sub-archetypes. I'm not including any definitions here (buy the dang book!) but here's the complete list of archetypes discussed:
 
I. Bricks
Flying Bricks
Indestructible Bricks
Strange Visitors
Perfected Bricks
Exploding Bricks
Chemically Improved Bricks
Mechanically Improved Bricks
 
II. Energy Projectors
Elementalists
Focus Wielders
 
III. Mystics
Inheritors of Ancient Magic
Stage Performers
Occult Detectives
Ghosts
 
IV. Speedsters
Traditional Speedsters
Flyers
Swimmers
 
V. Weaponmasters
Archers
Anachronistic Lawmen
Vehicle Masters
 
VI. Mystery Men (replaces Martial Artist)
Costumed Detective
Femme Fatale
Frustrated Lawman
Great White Hunter
Mystery Man of Science
Trained Fighter
Wild Man or Woman
 
VII. Others
Gadgeteers
Mentalists
Metamorphs
Powered Armor
Patriots
 
VIII.Sidekicks
Derivative Kid

I recognize most of them from references elsewhere. The guy in yellow and green socking Hitler in the jaw is Bulletproof (who reappears in the far future in Galactic Champions).  The fella emerging from darkness on the far right is Dr. Twilight, grandfather of Dr. Ka, the mystic hero from Vibora Bay. The girl punching the giant robot is the Sea Hawk, aka Princess Mara of Atlantis (Queen Mara in modern day, as described in Hidden Lands). Dude in blue and white at bottom left is Optimus, leader of the Defenders of Justice. I'm afraid I don't recognize the energy projector at upper left.

Me too! Storn is the best. If all works out as planned, the interior chapter pages will also be by him, with each being a swipe/homage to a famous GA cover redone with Champs Universe characters. Superman shaking dudes out of a car, Captain Marvel Jr. smashing a stone swastika, maybe a Spirit cover with words written down the side of a tenement building. 

Hey Dean! Again, yup! The first part of Chapter 6 is a runthrough of pretty much everybody and everyplace in the CU, though many are only 1 or 2-line mentions.

Yup! SOTI isn't the cutoff I use - for my purposes, it's when All-Star Comics becomes a western.

Yup, lots! I've spent a lot of time going over every Champs Universe book to make sure I didn't miss anybody. There are even new writeups of characters who have only had brief mentions before, like Dr. Ka's granddaddy Dr. Twilight and a few Canadians from Scott's Champions of the North.

Real-world or new characters? I'll assume the latter and give a similar breakdown to the villains above: 19 Americans (or at least spent most of their time in the US if they came from elsewhere), 6 Brits, 3 Canadians, 2 Russians, and one each from France, China and Gabon.
