The Forgotten Heroes were a superhero team in the DC Universe made up of obscure superheroes.
Origin
When very disparate superhero learn of a golden pyramid, they are brought together to solve its mystery.
History
Vandal Savage and the Immortal Man were two cavemen who were blessed with immortality: one with aspirations to conquer the world and the other intent on stopping him. Vandal Savage, at one point, had a plan to defeat Superman, Earth's greatest protector, with a plan involving several golden pyramids hidden across the globe. Various heroes across the world discovered parts of the plan and the Immortal Man banded them together as a team to help stop Savage's plot.
These heroes included Cave Carson, world famous geologist and spelunker; Congo Bill, a famous explorer; Dane Dorrance, the leader of the adventurous team of divers known as the Sea Devils; Dolphin, a mysterious aquatic woman; Rick Flag, the leader of the Suicide Squad; and Rip Hunter, a time traveller. The heroes worked together and, with Superman's help, were able to stop Savage and save the world.
