History:
(Justice League of America I #117) - Charley was being considered for honorary membership in the Justice League of America, when Hawkman sent the JlofA an emergency signal from Mars. The heroes responded and Charley was overwhelmed that they let him mind their sanctuary.
(Hawk and Dove Annual #1) - When times got tough Golden Eagle moved in with Mal and Bumblebee, claiming he only needed to crash for a few days, but spending months. He tried to convince S.T.A.R. Labs to study his powers, and when it was pointed out that he didn't have any metahuman abilities he asked if they'd like to analyze his mind. When the Washington S.T.A.R. Labs opened a portal to Limbo Flamebird, influenced by Lilith, decided to reunite the Titans West. Hawk, the new Dove, Mal, Golden Eagle, Bumblebee and Chris King joined together to enter Limbo to find Director Simons, the creator of the portal, and the rescue team that's been sent in after him. Deceased villains Iron Major, Top, Clayface, El Papagayo, Electrocutioner and Icicle were seeking to escape the underworld and return to Earth through the portal. They'd already taken the rescue team hostage to appease their demon jailer, a devil impersonating Etrigan. Hawk, Dove and the Titans battled them, and the tide turned when General Jeb Stuart came from Heaven to give Hawk his Haunted Tank. The false Etrigan was merely toying with the dead villains, and when he sent them through a portal, it turned out to be an entrance to Hell. The heroes returned to Earth with the rescue squad, and S.T.A.R. shut down the portal. Flamebird wanted the Titans West to reform, but no one was that interested.
