The Mighty Mite!

It's the Golden-Age Atom! Al Pratt was a college student who was continually mocked due to his short stature. When he gave assistance to a homeless man who turned out to be a former boxing champion, Al was given intensive training and soon became a top boxer and world-class athelete! He put his new-found skills to use as the costumed adventurer called The Atom!

Notes: I think I'm being generous giving him 'Layabout' as opposed to full-blown 'Laziness.' The guy was berated by his girlfriend for not applying himself and he got his super-powers by stopping an experiment for a cigarette break!

Notes:

This Weird Figure of the Dark...

A take on the Golden-Age Batman, as seen circa Detective Comics #36 (Feb, 1940). This is a 'year one' Batman. He's still distrusted by the police -- even Commissioner Gordon wants him captured. There's no Batcave yet, no Robin, no Alfred. The Batmobile is just a normal looking red sedan, though it's heavily modified to be bullet-proof, faster, and more powerful.

Quote: "Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot. So my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible... A... a... a bat! That's it! It's an omen. I shall become a bat!" (Detective Comics #33, November 1939)

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

It's the Golden Age Superman! As seen in his appearances in pre-war Action Comics and the Max Fleischer cartoons.
