Fun Facts You Never Knew About the Justice League. The Justice League has been DC’s flagship superhero team for decades. After fighting against injustice for more than 5.

League’s history has accumulated some odd details. Some of those moments are charming, like the Atom’s tiny flying chair at JLA meetings. Some of them stem from a writer trying to shake things up (that badass Batman secretly plots to destroy his team!) or coming up with a quirky story (a teenage boy figures how to kill the JLA). Sometimes it’s the passage of time that makes what once seemed unremarkable now look quaint, like the Silver Age JLA’s old- fashioned methods of finding crimes to stop. Of course, the passage of time also makes things like the long years without any minority members look embarrassing by today’s standards. The Justice League movie coming out this summer is just the latest development in a long, heroic, and sometimes outright crazy history. Read on for 1. 6 fun facts from the JLA’s colorful past.

Superman Kills An Alien In The JLA’s Origin, Then Jokes About It. Superman’s code against killing has been a fundamental part of his character for decades. When he does kill, it’s usually a big, big deal, as in the climax of the 2.

Man of Steel movie, or executing three Kryptonian criminals in Superman #2. And then there’s Justice League of America #9.

The story is a flashback as the team tells honorary member Snapper Carr how they first came together fighting aliens from the planet Appellax. The ETs weren’t conquering Earth, just fighting a war of succession here to spare their own planet the damage. The Appellaxian fighting Superman is a diamond creature, so Superman reverses his old trick of squeezing coal into diamonds. Instead, he rubs the alien’s diamond body until it turns into coal and dies. When Snapper asks how that’s even possible, Superman quips that he “rubbed the diamond creature the wrong way.” Of course, the rest of the team killed the other Appellaxians just as dead, but none of them laughed about it.

Malcolm Merlyn On Arrow Is Based On A JLA Villain, Not a Green Arrow Foe. John Barrowman’s Malcolm Merlyn has been one of Arrow’s most memorable villains, a role he’s now extended to DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. It would be logical to think he’s based on one of Green Arrow’s comic- book villains, but that’s not the case.

Merlyn was actually one of the JLA’s foes, and a D- lister at that. When the JLA first meets Merlyn (Justice League of America #9. Green Arrow remembers competing against him in an archery tournament years ago. GA lost, but he makes up for it at the story’s climax by outshooting Merlyn, preventing his assassination of Batman. Most of Merlyn’s subsequent appearances involved more fights against the League, for example as a member of the assassin team the Killer Elite. None of them were against Green Arrow one on one, and none of them made him interesting.

Arrow did, so it’s no surprise there’s now a new, TV- influenced Merlyn in the comics. And this Merlyn is finally taking a personal interest in fighting Green Arrow. The Silver Age JLA Learned About Crimes From Snail Mail And Radio News. Justice League adventures could start several ways. Sometimes, the villain came after them, as in Justice League of America #3. Sometimes, one member discovered a major threat and called in the team (#1).

And every so often, they heard about it on Snapper Carr’s transistor radio. In #3. 1, for instance, the team sit around their meeting table until they hear a radio news report about a gang of untouchable thieves. They wouldn’t have known nuclear war was breaking out in #4. Concerned citizens also alerted the JLA by mail. In #6, for instance, a museum curator writes for their help catching an invisible thief. In #4. 5, they get a letter about an alien monster threatening the Earth — but as the mail plane crashed, they get it two years late. The world’s probably lucky that the team later switched to more high- tech methods of monitoring.

Still, the old- school approach did add a human touch. In #6, the League also answers a letter from a woman who needs their help to find a lost fortune and save her family’s home. Even the best computer surveillance system wouldn’t have red- flagged that one. One Of The Justice League’s Arch- Enemies Was One Of Dream’s First Foes In Sandman. Sleepless (2017) Full Divx Movies here. In Justice League of America #5, criminal scientist Dr. Destiny has the bright idea to destroy the Justice League before he launches his crime career.

He lost, of course, but he didn’t give up. Instead, he developed a technology that allowed him to manipulate dreams and bring them into reality. Creating adversaries from the JLA’s own nightmares, Dr. Destiny bedeviled them repeatedly throughout the Silver Age and beyond. So it’s not surprising that Destiny’s big non- JLA adversary was Morpheus, AKA Dream, the protagonist of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. The opening issue of Sandman established that Dream had been trapped by an occult group years earlier (not intentionally; they’d been trying for his sister, death).

When Morpheus finally breaks free, he spends the next few issues looking for the talismans that the cult stole from him. Destiny is actually the son of the cult leader’s mistress, and his exposure to one of the talismans gave him his uncanny power over dreams.

Naturally, when Destiny realizes the full power of the talisman, he has no intention of giving it back. When the talisman gets trashed, however, Morpheus regains his full power and moves on to fresh adventures. The Justice League Went 2. Years Without A Black Member. One of the things that tarnishes the Silver Age is how very, very, very white it was.

White heroes. White teams of heroes. Mostly white supporting casts.

At Marvel, the Avengers finally inducted the Black Panther as a member in 1. The JLA lagged way behind, inducting its first black member in 1. Gerry Conway introduced the “Detroit League.”Conway hoped to improve the series, and its sales, by replacing heroes with their own books, such as Superman and Batman, in favor of characters he alone would control.

Those included Vixen, a black superhero he’d created several years earlier, and the all- new Latino hero Vibe. While the diversity was welcome, the change in direction wasn’t. The Detroit era plodded along until the series expired three years later, followed by a new series and creative team. It would take The CW’s slate of super- series to make Vixen and Vibe into hits. Cyborg Joined The Justice League On TV 2. Years Before Joining Them In Comics.

In the New 5. 2 Victor Stone, AKA Cyborg, is a founding member and mainstay of the Justice League. In 1. 98. 5, he was still a member of the Teen Titans — but not on TV. In 1. 98. 5’s Super- Powers Team: Galactic Guardians cartoon, the Justice League — rechristened as the Super- Powers Team — battles against various schemes of the alien god Darkseid. Teen Titans was a hot book at the time, so it made sense to add Cyborg to the . In the first episode, he turns down League membership to continue his work with handicapped kids (something he did in Teen Titans, too).

Cyborg tells Firestorm that as he has no secret identity, becoming a superhero would be something he’d never be able to turn off. He doesn’t want that.

Just the same, when Darkseid attacks Earth again, Cyborg agrees to use his built- in tech to hack Darkseid’s computers and thwart his plans. When the adventure ends, Cyborg concedes he belongs on the Super- Powers Team after all. A Teenage Boy With No Powers Once Killed Off The Justice League. Relax, it was only on paper. Buy A Beautiful Planet (2016) Movie here.

In #1. 6, the criminal Maestro uses body- controlling music to keep people, including the JLA, dancing helplessly during his robberies. Not being idiots, the JLA plug their ears before the big showdown — and learn that’s what the Maestro counted on. The music was a misdirection: his real weapon is a ray that hits the motor centers of the brain. With no defense against it, the JLA members helplessly dance themselves to death.
