Notes
Unlike other MLJ heroes, Captain Commando and his Boy Soldiers were never revived by Archie comics in regular continuity. However, he was used in DC's Impact Comics line. The costume was different and the Boy Soldiers were not mentioned. He appeared in the first three issues of Mighty Crusaders and was never seen again.
