Some of the AC characters in the revamped team resembled the Charlton characters they replaced (Captain Paragon for Captain Atom; Nightveil for Nightshade; Scarlet Scorpion for Blue Beetle), and so the revamp of the team forshadowed Alan Moore's later creation of the Watchmen characters when he was denied the use of the Charlton characters during his tenure at DC Comics. The Charlton characters would finally be teamed together when DC published the L.A.W limited series in 1999.
