The Justice League
Old School Heroes
Gladiatrix's address to the heroes of the world. Televised in twelve languages across every major network. Ad time paid for by Avalon Enterprises.
Ladies and gentlemen, heroes and civilians, I come before you today to address our troubled times.
We have been cast about upon the chaos of war between mutant and human. Few heroes stood on either side, only bloodthirsty extremists of one brand or another. Sanity did not prevail, and only exhaustion from their endless war brought us a modicum of peace. Madmen spilled rivers of blood across the entire face of the earth an no shining light of heroism rose up to stop them. There was only darkness and madness.
For the third administration in a row we are faced with an absent president. Our leaders take vacations while the world burns. They offer no guidance, no aid and certainly no inspiration to those whose souls cry out for hope.
Now we witness rise of the 'MVP's'. They bring no hope, merely the idea that heroism can be bought. That valor has its price. That salvation comes from the almighty dollar.
I ask you to reject that cynical ideology. I ask you to remember that greatness has no price. I ask you to join the Justice League, and show the world what it means to be a true hero.
The Justice League is a team founded by Gladiatrix and funded by Avalon Enterprises. Its members are paid a small living wage. Corporate sponsorship and political endorsements are forbidden; team members are expected to remain above the fray.
Mutants, humans, aliens and supernatural beings are all accepted. The only requirements are being in good moral standing, and a willingness to avoid killing whenever possible. Team members are expected to hold themselves to the highest standards of behavior and uphold all the tenets of traditional heroism.
The team itself is based out of a refurbished military warehouse in Canada, to avoid the US's Registration Act. To prevent civilian casualties in case of an attack the base is located deep in the Canadian wilderness. It boasts five square miles of land, including a small lake and a short private runway. The team maintains three stealth VTOL stealth craft, to give the team truly global reach.
