I really enjoy seeing all the pulp and Golden Agers. I especially like the Skull there in his original outfit.
Okay, I'll jump in, hope this isn't a trip for biscuits! Here are a few of mine.
The Masked Shrike, two-fisted aviatrix
PinUp Girl, knife-wielding nose art queen
Victory Gardener, homefront heroine with a really green thumb
Cavalry McClellan, sharp-shooting archaeologist
The Scarlet Specter, pulp-influenced dead girl
Busting heads since 1938

The Masked Shrike is just so cool! Maybe one day the Scarlet Specter and the Red Phantom should meet!

Sorry, no. I doesn't count as a bump when only a few hours have gone by. Please try again.

None of my heroes golden/silver age based, but a few of them have a costume that could be considered close to those ages
Except for Dewgirl, these are linked from the respective characters on my Heri's Heroes page:
Hericane's Silver Age Look
Enacirreh's Penthouse Look
Lady Herricane's Civilian Look - Rocketeer inspired, follows Lady Hericane's, her twin, Civilian X-Men inspired look
Dewgirl - Baja Blast flavor related costume, Silver Age-ish seemed appropriate for some reason.

Here are some of mine from Virtue... I have others, as well. 
Doctor Omen -- Apparently I like the white pupils for my magic and mutant characters. Took me forever to get around to making a trenchcoat-wearing character, because I didn't want it to be generic. Not sure if I accomplished that, but I do actually like the look. (His backstory ties in with Monster Child's.)
The Liberty Ace -- Not crazy about the brain blasting powers... if only they weren't pink. I'll probably reroll him when the next round of power proliferation comes out.
Mighty Lad -- One of my all-time favorite designs. After doing 200-some characters, I was bound to hit on one I really liked. 
Starina -- One of my earliest characters, from CoH beta back in March '04, still going strong. I want to re-do her outfit while keeping the core "Buck Rogers" feel to it.

ALL Great heroes!
Comrade Hero, I remember you when I first logged on as the American Paladin!
This is a fabulous idea for a thread. I love characters from this era.
OK, here are some of my folks that fit the bill.
Cpt. Buck Flash: Tune in next week for another astonishing episode!
Doc Destruction: Still bitter because Nemesis stole his "Let's take over the capital with robots" idea.
Tesla Cannon: If one more person asks if I'm named after the Clockwork, things are getting messy.
English Electric: Disgraced hero of the war years, he just got re-rolled on Virtue a week ago.

Privyet Comrade! Is horosho good to see some Amerikanski heroes have superior style and distinction.
My Silver Age-inspired Ice Blaster, Gyrfalcon Prime.
Edit: Hm, maybe Gyrfalcon and Comrade Hero need to have some words outside... or perhaps past enemies are now comrades-in-arms.

Bit of an age difference - Gyrfalcon was born in the 1930s, Comrade Hero in the 1970s. Ole Comrade is literally a youngun compared to Gyrfalcon and while he grew up in the Soviet Union, he also saw the rise of the Russian Federation
It is true that Gyrfalcon was frozen through the 70s. And 80s. Oh, and the 90s, too. Not to mention the 60s.

I dont have any screenshots but I recently designed a character inspired by such characters as doc savage, and adam strange with a bit of some silver age favorites thrown in.
I am still poking around with costume ideas but the character generator seems to lack the essence of what I want.
We do need a good open-to-the-midriff dress shirt design. Plus a torn one for after-action. Like thus and so.

Again, because I'm lazy, here's the slide show.
Here's the folder.
Oh we do need that shirt, Ironik. And we desperately need real jodhpurs/breeches! (The Goldbrickers get them, it's time to find their tailor.
And a real leather flight helmet would be nice. You can sort of approximate one, but it's not quite the same.
I'd pay good money for a pulp/Golden Age costume pack. But then I'd pay good money for, well, any costume pack. I'm weak that way.

The Justice-Knights featuring Sin Stalker
I think I'd consider Sin Stalker, the main character, a pulp hero.
He is ment to have the same tone as a Shadow or Phantom or Batman.
In this series though its not too pulpy right away or each issue mainly cause... imagine you team a pulp hero with a team of heroes (Justice League or Avengers). So its like when the Question teams with the League.
He is still a pulp guy I am pretty sure.
Let me know what ya think.
Also the first couple of links in that thread dont use, they are to the old hosting site I had.

The enigmatic detective, Mark Question, scribbling notes in his journal. Nice thread idea by the way, I'm a fan of the Pulp theme.
I have a bunch of these guys. Sadly, I don't think I have any pictures of them...
Well, here's Canadian Shield, and his World War II counterpart.
Hey, NYC!
Just so you know...PinUp Girl (TheMaskedShrike's character) and her fella Proud Citizen, are in our GAH group (in my .sig) on Virtue.
To the rest of you slackers with such GORGEOUS Golden Age characters...

If you have a Pulp/Golden Age/early Silver Age RP SG and are looking for a coalition partner or two, come on by as well.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
Here are some of mine.
