8 Golden Age Characters Who Should Appear In The Arrowverse

The unfortunate side effect of two separate DC superhero universes running alongside each other on different mediums – the DC Extended Universe and the crop of TV shows known as the Arrowverse – is that they often can’t use the same characters. The TV series, in particular, have many of the big DC heroes off-limits. This could be seen as a major weakness, but thankfully, the Arrowverse has managed to turn it into a strength.

Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that several items on board Legends’ time-travelling ship The Waverider reference numerous DC heroes. While a couple of these – namely Jonah Hex and Hourman – appeared in season one, the others have yet to make good on the easter egg. Hopefully, this can be sorted out in season two. Mainly, because we have no idea how they will adapt Ma Hunkel.

Created in 1939, Ma Hunkel is one of the very first parody superheroes. A gutsy elderly lady, Ma fights crime by putting a pan with eye holes on top of her head and calling herself the Red Tornado. That moniker has been used for fan-favourite anti-hero android (who appeared on Supergirl’s first season) since then, but Ma Hunkel deserves her due as well. Sure, the character would be a daffy addition to the Arrowverse, but who knows, an episode of Legends featuring Hunkel could very well be a comedy classic.
