It's a dangerous ol' job, heroing.
Green Lantern:
While tied up in a burning house, Green Lantern must thrust his hands into the flames to escape. (All American Comics 031, 1941)
Hawkgirl:
Hawkgirl is shot in the back by an agent of Mister X while acting as a Hawkman decoy on her very first outing in costume (All-Star Comics 005, 1941)
Hawkman:
Shot in the left shoulder by Alexander the Great. (Flash Comics 002, 1940)
Shot in - I think - the left shoulder again while working on the case of the Hand. (Flash Comics 015, 1941)
Shot in the right shoulder for a change, as Carter Hall. (Flash Comics 019, 1941)
Perhaps Hawkman preferentially takes bullets to the left shoulder because he took an arrow there during his original incarnation as Prince Khufu. (Flash Comics 001, 1940)
Speaking of Prince Khufu, he (along Princess Shiera, off-panel) is famously stabbed by the evil Hath-Set. Hey, a fatal wound is still a wound. (Flash Comics 001, 1940)
the Human Torch:
During one of the periods in which the Human Torch is being hunted by the law, he takes a police slug to his right arm. (Marvel Mystery Comics v1 011, 1940)
the King:
Gets his scalp creased by a bullet. (Flash Comics 003, 1940)
And again a year later. (Flash Comics 016, 1941)
Aquatic toughie the Scarlet Mermaid gives the King a fashionable bullet wound in the left shoulder while making her escape. (Flash Comics 019, 1941)
the Pied Piper:
Shot in the right arm while wrasslin' with the Black Panther's panther. (Cat-Man Comics 004, 1941)
