DC has a bunch of characters not in the present. Here they are. Note I'm not including the Legion because that would make this list mostly a Legion list, wouldn't it? =P Also, no Batman Beyond- a little too close to the present day, considering Bruce is still alive. Attempting to be in chronological order- which is pretty darn tough...
These dudes were like, the first sentient beings ever. Ganthet says he's 10,000,000,000 years old. That's hella old, man.
A caveman turned into an immortal thanks to a meteorite. Nanobots, I think- Hideo Kojima would be proud.
A caveman from an opposing tribe to Vandal Savage, he was turned immortal by the same meteor. Has opposed Savage through history.
A Neanderthal woman turned into a Swamp Thing.
Anthro's father. Because this is totally how it happened.
Step mother to Anthro and Lart, and second wife to Ne-ahn. DC sure loves cavemen.
The first homo sapien sapien! Fought Vandal Savage, got fire from the New Gods, had his funearary rites performed by Batman and was generally awesome.
Anthro's younger brother, and source of a terrible pun- if Anthro is the first man on Earth, Lart, being the younger bro, is the first boy. Somebody got paid to write that.
See? I told you. A direct ripoff- I mean, descendant of Anthro.
