After quickly taking them out, a young Adolf Hitler attempts to thank Midnighter who tells him they "need to talk" before kneeing him in the balls. Midnighter quickly finds himself in the trenches, being attacked by French soldiers who mistakenly believe he is a German. Issue #1 saw Midnighter being abducted by a man named Paulus, who replaces Midnighter’s second heart with a remote controlled bomb that he threatens to detonate unless Midnighter returns to the original World War and kills Hitler as a solider before he rises to power.
One of the new books launched from the event, "Midnighter" by writer Garth Ennis and artist Chris Sprouse, followed the universe’s bloodthirsty Batman analogue on a time traveling adventure to kill Hitler in its first arc.
In 2006, Wildstorm turned into an alternate DC Earth during an event called "Worldstorm," which acted as a soft reboot for the universe and its characters by relaunching a few of the marquee titles, as well as beginning a few new ones. Despite this rocky start, over the course of the book’s 20-issue run, the team personally beat up all three major Axis leaders: Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo (something neither Cap nor the Torch ever managed to do). Their first issue saw the team go up against the Red Skull, before needing some back up from Cap and Human Torch. The team was redubbed the "Young Allies" and starting in issue #1, written by a young Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby (under the Timely Comic’s shared pseudonym "Charles Nicholas"), the group was joined by the original Human Torch’s sidekick, Toro. His sidekick, Bucky, led a team of kids known as the Sentinels of Liberty (originally made up of his friends Knuckles, Jeff, Tubby, and Whitewash Jones) to assist Cap through a handful of fights in "Captain America Comics" before becoming popular enough to warrant their own spin-off title. Though he may have been the first, Captain America wasn’t the only Timely Comics character to fight the Nazis before America caught up. Upon realizing that Red Skull’s outfit isn’t "just some crazy disguise" and that he is, in fact, an actual Nazi, the Joker remarks that while he may be a criminal lunatic, he’s an American criminal lunatic, and attacks Red Skull with his Joker Toxin. One such crossover saw a WWII-era Captain America and Bucky called stateside to team up with Batman and Robin to stop both The Joker and Red Skull, who had stolen "The Gotham Project," a nuclear bomb Red Skull hopes will secure the Third Reich’s victory in the war. Their heroes fought, they teamed up to fight each other’s villains, and they fused mythos to make a new "Amalgam" Universe filled with fusion characters like Dark Claw (a combination of Batman and Wolverine). Though it wasn’t the first time the two companies had crossed over, in the '90s DC and Marvel had an absolute field day with the idea.
