SMASH is the Society of Major American Science Heroes, a team of Science Heroes. Originally active during the 1940s to the 1960s, they were reformed by Doc Strange in the 21st Century.
History
1940s
During an as yet unrevealed adventure, the 5th-Dimensional being Dr. Nobody magically extended the lifespans of SMASH members, along with other heroes. That enabled them to remain active for decades without apparently aging.[1]
1969
Members of SMASH were killed or placed in suspended animation by an alien being attempting to convert the Earth into a spaceship.
2000
They were freed by Tom Strong and "Doc" Tom Strange.
Renaming themselves (from Major to Modern), the team reformed and continued their adventures.
Notes
- Ostensibly a team dating back to the 1940s, they of course are a modern invention of Alan Moore and Chris Sprouse using various public domain characters from Nedor Comics.
