As I've picked up a good few Nano Metalfigs of US DC and Marvel characters and intend on getting more to play ww2 set superhero games I was wondering if anyone here could tell me about any US superhero style (costumes etc I mean, the sort I could convert from a popular US hero) WW2 era (or at least active then in their average adventure whenever they may have been created) UK heroes and villains that I could try converting from my metalfigs with a bit of paint and greenstuff.
I can and have looked up a few fansites but I want characters that were or are popular or recognisable, capturing the spirit of the age (or at least not despised rubbish) and that can be hard to ascertain.
One batman like character could be or have been regarded with love/nostalgia whereas another might be seen as a shoddy knockoff and embarrassment for all I know.
A lot of Brit heroes seem to me to be a bit less exhibitionist than there average tight wearing US counterparts but obviously as I want to convert them from and have them fight my DC/Marvel Metalfigs I'd like some examples of that more colourful type if possible.
I'll be trying my hand at converting a few Aussie heroes too and they'll all need a few villains to fight (supers of the Axis powers?) So if anyone has any ideas for easy to convert WW2 villains I'm all ears!
Thanks for any advice.
