Note that Adventure Comics was originally titled New Comics and then later New Adventure Comics.
There are two eras in which Adventure Comics stories have been incorporated into the Super Comics Universe. The second era was published by Super Comics, which I'll discuss below. Finally, there was another era, in which many stories from Adventure happened in the Wronskiverse in a very similar way.
So lets start with the Golden Age. In the 1992 series "Mystery Men", we learned that all comic books from the golden age of comics up until the end of World War II were incorporated into the Wronskiverse. So all the issues of Adventure Comics up until the end of 1945 are part of Wronskiverse canon. Even stories that don't occur in that era still are incorporated if they were published during that era.
This includes the stories from December 1935 to December 1945 of: 17-20 on the Black, Anchors Aweigh, Andy Handy, Barry O'Neill, Billy the Kid, Blood Pearls, Bulldog Martin, Butch the Pup, Cal 'n' Alec, Captain Desmo, Captain Jim of the Texas Rangers, Captain Quick, Captain Spiniker, Castaway Island, Chikko Chakko, Cotton Carver, Dale Daring, Detective Sergeant Carey, Dickie Duck, Don Coyote, Federal Men, Freddie Bell, Genius Jones, Ginger Snap, Golden Dragon, Goofo the Great, Gulliver's Travels, Hardluck Harry, Hourman, Hubert, Inspector Kent, J. Worthington Blimp, Jack Woods, Jibby Jones, Jungle Fever, King Arthur, Maginnis of the Mounties, Manhunter, Mark Lansing, Mike Gibbs, Monastery of the Blue God, Nadir Master of Magic, Needles, Ol' Oz Bopp, Paul Kirk Manhunter, Peter and Ho-lah-an, Professor Doolittle, Ramblin' Jim, Ray and Gail, Robin Hood, Rusty and his Pals, Sagebrush 'n' Cactus, Sam the Porter, Sandman, Sandor, Sara Lou Sunshine, She, Shining Knight, Sir Loin of Beef, Skip Schuyler, Slim and Tex, Socko Strong, Starman, Steve Conrad, Steve Malone, Strange Adventures of Mr. Weed, Tale of Two Cities, Tod Hunter, Tom Brent, Vikings, Wing Walker, and other single stories with non-recurring characters.
Note that the funny talking animals don't actually reside in the Wronskiverse but in the reality of Animal Town, USA.
In addition, all of the comics published during November 1979 to October 1986 were ripped off and retold as stories involving Super Comics characters. In Action Adventure, stories featuring Speedy, the Super-Trio, Waterman, Stretch, Space Hero, Changer, Zap, Super-Bob, Screamer, the Sleeper, Vonski, Pretty Gal, the Fantastic Four, Witch Woman, Powerkid, Powerlord, the Zap Family, Space Patrol, Zappette, and Phil Sheridan were all largely copies of respective stories featuring the Flash, the Justice Society of America, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Starman, Dial "H" for Hero, Captain Marvel, Superboy, Black Canary, Sandman, the Spectre, Supergirl, the Challengers of the Unknown, Zatanna, Superman, Captain Marvel Junior, the Marvel Family, the Legion of Super-Heores, Mary Marvel, and Jimmy Olsen from Adventure Comics.
From 1989 to 1990, Super Comics published 24 issues and two annuals of a second volume of Adventure Comics, that featured Dark Knight over Hadenville, the Phantom Stranger, Nightmare on Elm Street, the Tele-Kid, Powerman, and the Golden Age Superman.
So that's Adventure Comics' role in the Wronskiverse.

Victoria-21
Victoria-21
Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.
Real Name: Victoria-21
Current Occupation: Demon Hunter
Parents: VIC-20 (Creator)
Siblings: None
Spouse: None
Children: None
Group Affiliation: NighTforce
Place of Birth: Earth
Current Place of Residence: Paradise City, CA
First Appearance: NighTforce # 1, January 2008
Biography:
Victoria-21 is a computer system created by a computer system. Her creator is VIC-20. VIC was created by evil scientist Dr. Obidiah Planters. His name stands for Virtual Intelligence Computer, and he was the 20th model.
Though created for evil, VIC chose to instead serve the hero called Super-Bob, but now serves most of Earth's heroes.
A few years ago, VIC decided to create a backup copy and upgrade it, to run more efficiently. This upgrade became Victoria-21. She was so named because she chose to take on a female persona and was the 21st model.
And she was indeed an upgrade. VIC was tied to the internet, but could still only operate out of hardware. Victoria on the other hand was able to project a holographic image using satellites. VIC and Victoria were actually two systems, but were still linked to each other,and also to the web, thus Victoria had access to a vast information network.
Victoria was provided by VIC to work for NighTforce, a team devoted to fighting the evils of the paranormal and the New Power Organization, whose leader was NighTforce, a hero who had worked closely with VIC over the years.
Comments:
All NighTforce members are based on members of a paranormal team I have been associated with. Of course, VIC-20 has been a character in the Wronskiverse since 1980, and was inspired by my first computer.

Bruce Gellar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruce Israel Geller (October 13, 1930 – May 21, 1978) was an American composer, screenwriter, and television producer.
Born in New York City, New York, Geller graduated from Yale University. Geller left New York for Hollywood, where he was employed writing scripts for episodes of several television series, including Zane Grey Theater, Have Gun, Will Travel, and The Rifleman. He also worked as the co-executive producer of the Rawhide series for the 1964-1965 television season.
In 1966, Geller wrote, created, and produced the television series Mission: Impossible, the accomplishment for which he is best remembered. The show ran on CBS from 1966 to 1973 and earned him an Emmy Award in 1966 as the show's producer plus another for "Outstanding Writing Achievement in Drama." During the first season, a photograph of Geller was included in the dossier of Impossible Missions Force agents that IMF leaders Dan Briggs and Jim Phelps perused each week and was often visible on screen (such as in the episodes "Memory" and "Operation Rogosh"). The series was revived in 1988 and aired until 1990 on ABC.
Geller also wrote and produced for the popular Mannix series which was twice nominated for an Emmy Award.
A flying enthusiast, Bruce Geller died when the Cessna 337D Skymaster he was piloting ran into difficulty in foggy conditions and crashed into Buena Vista Canyon nearSanta Barbara, California. He is interred in Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Comments:
All the shows mentioned above are in the Wronskiverse because they are in Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers, which was incorporated into the Wronskiverse several years ago. Thus, Bruce Gellar is retroactively a Super Comics creator and has earned his own bio here.

Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World
In 2001, I first discovered Win Scott Eckert's Crossover Chronology. As a crossover fanatic, I was overwhelmed, and read the thing straight through in just a few days.
In 2004, during the era when Powerman was in self-exile, traveling through space, time, and alternate realities. He had been doing so for about a year at this point in the series, but had only been encountering new characters and settings, or familiar ones from within the Super Comics Universe and Multiverse.
But in late 2004, I chose to incorporate the works of Win Scott Eckert's chronology, including all the events and characters, as well as the articles of Wold Newtonry mentioned within the chronology. From 2004 to 2007, Powerman started encountering characters from Win's Crossover Chronology, in the past, present and future. In 2007, Powerman returned home, but over in Super Team-Up, stories continued to involve Powerman teaming with the characters from Win's Chronology.
Last year, the chronology evolved into a two volume book called Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World, which was a much expanded version of the online chronology. Of course I ordered the book within minutes of learning it was available for sale. Powerman continues to encounter characters brought in from Win's work, as do other characters like Powerkid and the Wanderer. The chronology is firmly a part of Wronskiverse canon, with a few minor areas where there is a conflict with already established Wronskiverse canon. But those are very, very minor.
Of course, some characters from the chronology were already in. Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Tarzan, the Lone Ranger, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Law & Order, and some others had already existed in the Wronskiverse long before I discovered Win's site. And it was because of those that I felt so comfortable including his whole chronology.
Of course, just as my inclusion of some elements of the DC Universe doesn't go in reverse, the same goes here. Win's works exist within his Crossover Universe. But his work is so great, that is is considered by Henry Covert of the Wold Newton Meteoric Society to be a key piece of the Wold Newton Universe. Additionally, it is also the what I would consider the Bible for my Television Crossover Universe. So the chronology really exists in at least four realities.

Bud Fisher
Occasionally, I will do bios of the creators who have contributed to Super Comics either directly or indirectly. Today I will cover Bud Fisher.
Bud Fisher is the creator of Mutt and Jeff. As Dennis E. Power revealed, that duo are the immortals Ollu and Buzsla. In 2007, Win Scott Eckert's crossover chronology, which later evolved into his two volume Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World. Win incorporated Dennis' Ollu and Buzsla into his work, thus it also was incorporated into the Wronskiverse. Incidentally, it was during Powerman's adventures in time and space that Crossovers was incorporated. Powerman encounterd many characters who had counterparts in the Wold Newton Universe.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry Conway "Bud" Fisher (April 3, 1885 – September 7, 1954) was an American cartoonist who created Mutt and Jeff, the first successful dailycomic strip in the United States.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Fisher studied at the University of Chicago and then went to work as a journalist and sketch artist in the sports department of the San Francisco Chronicle. In late 1907, he introduced a comic strip character named Mr. A. Mutt (the initial stood for Augustus) that became instantly popular with readers. In March 1908, Fisher added a second character, the diminutive Jeff, the opposite of the tall and skinny Mutt.
Mutt and Jeff gained such popularity that Fisher, who was able to claim copyright to the characters, received an offer to produce it for the San Francisco Examiner, owned by William Randolph Hearst. The move to the Hearst Corporation chain exposed the strip to a multitude of new readers across the United States.
In 1911, Nestor Studios of New Jersey acquired the right to make Mutt and Jeff short film comedies, after which Fisher decided he could make more money controlling film production himself. In 1913, he created the Bud Fisher Film Corporation and signed a deal with American Pathé. They made 36 Mutt and Jeff short comedies in 1913, but production ceased for two years when Fisher's copyright was challenged. Once the courts upheld Fisher's copyright claim, the comic strip was syndicated nationwide, and between 1916 and 1926, his film production company created another 277 Mutt and Jeff film productions. On these film projects, Fisher is almost exclusively credited as the writer, animator and director, although the majority of animation was by Raoul Barré and Charles Bowers.
Mutt and Jeff was also published in comic book form. The income from multiple uses of his characters made Fisher a wealthy man. In 1932, he authorized Al Smith to produce the strip under his supervision. Smith drew Mutt and Jeff for 48 years. When Fisher died in 1954, Smith began signing his own name and continued to draw the strip until 1980 when George Breisacher took over for its final two years.
Ownership of the strip went to Pierre de Beaumont (1915-2010), as detailed in The New York Times:
- Mr. de Beaumont happened to own the rights to an emblematic American art form, the Mutt and Jeff comic strip, which he had inherited from his mother, a countess and occasional Broadway chorus girl. She had obtained them after a marital dispute that was widely covered in the newspapers and also involved frogs... The Countess de Beaumont had married — and, in a welter of wooings and suings avidly chronicled in the press, separated from — the cartoonist Harry C. Fisher. Mr. Fisher, known as Bud, had created what became Mutt and Jeff, the long-popular comic strip about two mismatched tinhorns, in 1907. In 1925, Mr. Fisher married Countess de Beaumont aboard a trans-Atlantic liner. In 1927, a New York judge granted her a legal separation after she testified, as The New York Times reported, to “her husband’s cruelty” in “permitting her to be neglected by his servants while they looked after a number of live frogs he maintained in their former apartment on Riverside Drive.” Mr. Fisher died in 1954. Mrs. Fisher, who apparently never divorced him, retained the rights to Mutt and Jeff. These later devolved on Mr. de Beaumont.[1]

Abraham was a religious zealot who lived c. 52,000 B.C. He heard voices, due to schizophrenia. He tried to kill his son under the instructions of God, until Ollu and Buzsla came and stopped him. Later, he invented circumcision and performed this on all the people of his village. Abraham hated Sodom, and forbid the people of his village from going there, but the teens of the village, including his son, often went there secretly.
Comments:
The information here comes from the movie Year One, with the main characters being revealed to be Dennis E. Power's Ollu and Buzsla.
Note that I've been covering a lot of my versions of biblical events in recent posts, but that isn't the theme of the Wronskiverse. It is an important elements, though. I guess I'm just getting it all out of my system early on.

At the dawn of time, six cosmic beings were born, three of good, three of evil. The being who would become known as the Great Unknown joined with his good brothers to battle his evil brothers. However, they found themselves equal and chose to go their separate ways.
After billions of years, one of the Universal Protectors, who would one day be called Allorin Vonski, settled on Earth, in Africa. He helped create a paradise and invited humans to live there. He also used this as a place to hide the Universal Transponder.
When Vonski's evil brother Evil came in the form of a snake and tricked two of the humans, Adam and Eve, into helping him steal the Transponder. Vonski was able to stop this from happening, but he was so upset he banished the humans from his paradise, moved the paradise across the world to where Orange City, Massachusetts currently exists, and changed his paradise into the Forbidden Forest.

Vonski was able to stop this from happening, but he was so upset he banished the humans from his paradise, moved the paradise across the world to where Orange City, Massachusetts currently exists, and changed his paradise into the Forbidden Forest.
This all happened around 52,000 BC. Two thousand years later, Vonski's anger with humanity and the influence of his brother Evil had gotten to the point that he punished the Earth by creating a global flood.

Crisis
Crisis was a 12 issue mini-series that ran from May 2008 to April 2009. It had crossovers in every Super Comics title of the time period.
The New Power Organization returned with a plan to destroy all reality (the entire multiverse) and replace it with a one shaped in evil. To do this, they needed both the Universal Transponder and the Sword of Power, and planned on increasing their chances by going into the past and the future to steal it over and over at different points.
For such a grand plan, they needed an army of villains. This was, however, a time when most super-villains were either dead, or had been stripped of their power and their memories. Morgoth and Satan worked with Kane on such a powerful spell that they restored the memories and powers of all living villains, and raised many of the major villains of the past 30 years back from the dead. Then to top it off, they gifted each villain with a power upgrade, making each one more powerful than ever.
When Allorin Vonski, the Great Unknown, and Zeus learned of this, they quickly did the same thing for heroes. They raised deceased super-heroes, and brought back retired and depowered heroes.
Then the race was on, and heroes and villains traveled to various times in the past, present, and future to obtain their prize or save it.
This series during this portion of the story ended up featuring every Super Comics character ever created. But it didn't end there.
One such important mission needs to be mentioned, because it's impact on the mythology of the Wronskiverse. We had learned in 1985's History of the Super Universe that at the end of time, Powerkid would fight Doctor Deadly, and the battle would destroy the universe.
Then in the series New Earth, published in 1994 and taking place in 3182, Powerman and Dr. Deadly have that battle, and are about to do the deed, when the cosmic being Barsto travels to that point to absorb the energy of the two, pursued from 1994 by Allorin Vonski. The interference caused the four to merge into the being called Continuity. This did end the universe. Eventually, Continuity is killed due to the sacrifice of NighTrain, but Vonski is able to separate himself, as revealed later.
Well, in Crisis, the New Power sends a team to the future to steal the power emitted during the event to fuel the machine they are creating. The team sent is Voltrus, Hellchild, Man-Killer, Spearon, Lightning Master, Powerlord, Dikrewop, and Nicole Barstaman. But just as they arrive in the future, they are followed by Powerman, Powerkid, Powergirl, Zap, Zap Mom, Girl Zap, Zappette, and Krazel. The heroes overcome the villains, but their presence interferes with predestined events, so that the universe does not end. The universe continues to live on beyond 3182.
The bad guys do manage to get the sword and universal transponder. The villains move their operation off the Earthly plane and into Hell. Soon the universe and multiverse start to feel the effects of the end, and Allorin Vonski reaches out to heroes of other worlds, including Earth-0 (the DC Universe), Earth-616 (the Marvel Universe), Earth-26 (the world of Captain Carrot, Animal Town, and Mighty Mouse), Earth-818793 (the Wold Newton Universe), Earth-5 (the world of Power Woman), Kearth-K (where Powerman is evil), Earth-B2 (Powerman operated during World War II), Earth-Z (where only characters created by Phil Sheridan exist), and Earth-Prime (home of Super Comics creator Robert E. Wronski, Jr.)
The final battle was in Hell. The Machine was destroyed, the transponder was recovered. Powerlord maintained the Sword. Morgoth was freed from occupying the body of the scientist Uglon for the first time in centuies. And Satan was killed, which caused the destruction of Hell. All heroes and villains managed to flee from Hell thanks to Vonski, the Great Unknown and Zeus. Because Hell was destroyed, the souls trapped there returned to Earth as ghosts, and all demons became homeless and have now taken to spending all their time on Earth now.
Following Crisis, with the return of many heroes and villains, many new titles were started or returned, including National Heroes, Heroes of Earth, Forgotten Ones, and Bad Guys.
The New Power Organization returned with a plan to destroy all reality (the entire multiverse) and replace it with a one shaped in evil. To do this, they needed both the Universal Transponder and the Sword of Power, and planned on increasing their chances by going into the past and the future to steal it over and over at different points.
For such a grand plan, they needed an army of villains. This was, however, a time when most super-villains were either dead, or had been stripped of their power and their memories. Morgoth and Satan worked with Kane on such a powerful spell that they restored the memories and powers of all living villains, and raised many of the major villains of the past 30 years back from the dead. Then to top it off, they gifted each villain with a power upgrade, making each one more powerful than ever.
When Allorin Vonski, the Great Unknown, and Zeus learned of this, they quickly did the same thing for heroes. They raised deceased super-heroes, and brought back retired and depowered heroes.
Then the race was on, and heroes and villains traveled to various times in the past, present, and future to obtain their prize or save it.
This series during this portion of the story ended up featuring every Super Comics character ever created. But it didn't end there.
One such important mission needs to be mentioned, because it's impact on the mythology of the Wronskiverse. We had learned in 1985's History of the Super Universe that at the end of time, Powerkid would fight Doctor Deadly, and the battle would destroy the universe.
Then in the series New Earth, published in 1994 and taking place in 3182, Powerman and Dr. Deadly have that battle, and are about to do the deed, when the cosmic being Barsto travels to that point to absorb the energy of the two, pursued from 1994 by Allorin Vonski. The interference caused the four to merge into the being called Continuity. This did end the universe. Eventually, Continuity is killed due to the sacrifice of NighTrain, but Vonski is able to separate himself, as revealed later.
Well, in Crisis, the New Power sends a team to the future to steal the power emitted during the event to fuel the machine they are creating. The team sent is Voltrus, Hellchild, Man-Killer, Spearon, Lightning Master, Powerlord, Dikrewop, and Nicole Barstaman. But just as they arrive in the future, they are followed by Powerman, Powerkid, Powergirl, Zap, Zap Mom, Girl Zap, Zappette, and Krazel. The heroes overcome the villains, but their presence interferes with predestined events, so that the universe does not end. The universe continues to live on beyond 3182.
The bad guys do manage to get the sword and universal transponder. The villains move their operation off the Earthly plane and into Hell. Soon the universe and multiverse start to feel the effects of the end, and Allorin Vonski reaches out to heroes of other worlds, including Earth-0 (the DC Universe), Earth-616 (the Marvel Universe), Earth-26 (the world of Captain Carrot, Animal Town, and Mighty Mouse), Earth-818793 (the Wold Newton Universe), Earth-5 (the world of Power Woman), Kearth-K (where Powerman is evil), Earth-B2 (Powerman operated during World War II), Earth-Z (where only characters created by Phil Sheridan exist), and Earth-Prime (home of Super Comics creator Robert E.

Biography:
In the latter half of the 16th century, politcal forces plunged much of Europe into war. Responding to a personal need to see justice done. British nobleman, Jon Valor assembled a loyal crew of freedom fighters and set sail under a buccaneer flag, donning the colorful costume of the Black Pirate.
At war’s end, Jon Valor was at last captured by the Spanish and sentenced to death. This sentence was commuted when King Philip of Spain discovered that Valor had been secretly wed the night before his execution to the King’s own ward, Donna Bonita. In return for his freedom, Valor agreed to serve the Spanish flag so long as it also served the cause of justice.
In time, Valor and his wife had a son named Justin, who, when he came of age, set sail with his father on his adventures. When their situation in Spain at last became untenable, Valor fled the country with his family and crew, returning to England, where he continued his career as the Black Pirate.
When Justin, now a young man, was wounded and seemingly lost at sea while fighting at his father’s side, a heart-broken Valor revealed his true identity to English King Charles, and put away the Black Pirate’s cowl, he thought, forever.
Five years later, Jon Valor was summoned before his King, who requested the aid of the Black Pirate to stop a mysterious new band of pirates who were raiding British vessels. At length, Valor discovered that his own son, now a Puritan, was the leader of the pirates, raiding British ships in order to fund the Puritans’ journey to America.
Making peace with his son Valor watched as Justin set sail for America and a new life, the Valor himself returned to England to live out the rest of his days in peace.
Comments:
I never really used the Black Pirate ever, but he is in because of my ruling that all comics published up to the end of WWII are in the Wronskiverse and all DC Comics published from November 1986 to December 1992.
