I like a lot of the rosters here, guys, and to be honest, there's one thing I think people have forgotten when thinking of the Justice League of America; simple put, as Dan Didio said once in DC Nation, the League is a team of elite heroes, not a team of elitists. I think we had been spoiled so much from back in the day besides DC's premise of their big guys being in the League. There, to me, has been much potential in the JLA that hasn't had the chance to be explored. So I think some delibirations with my committee of one,. I got what I would want in a Justice League;
Superman Batman (Bruce) Wonder Woman Aquaman The Flash (Wally) Green Lantern (John) Martian Manhunter Green Arrow (Connor) Plastic Man Dr. Light Vixen Gypsy Faith Manitou Dawn Cyborg Red Tornado The Atom Hawkman
Kind of a nice balance of old school with characters reflecting the JLA's long history in addition to each bringing something different to the table. I also have ideas for JLI rosters, but I'll post that later.
Captain Marvel: Bates (strength, and sub for Supes,) Batman: Wayne (strategy and smarts) Flash: West (always have to have a speeder) Wonder Woman Green Lantern (any but Hal, the movie made me sad.) Martian Manhunter Plastic Man
Im partial to the Morrison line up with Plastic Man in it. Superman Batman Wonder Woman Flash (Wally West) Green Lantern (I would have prefered Hal Jordan but I have no problem with Kyle) Aquaman (The harpoon hand/bearded Aquaman is my favorite) Plastic Man Martian Manhunter (In the JLA books I didnt mind him but id prefer him not be here)
The " Scientist/Magical" Mirror Team under the supervision of Martian Manhunter
1 - Superman : Superpowered boyscout , trustworthy. 2 - Captain Marvel : Magical supermanlike being, magical knowledge 3 - Wonderwoman : Stong physical and magical Warrior 4 - Zatanna : Powerful sorceress , magical knowledge 5 - Green Lantern ( Alan Scott ) : Magical " Green Lantern " and experienced super-hero. 6 - Green Lantern ( Kyle Raynor) : Cosmic affairs , and humor 7 - Martian Manhunter : Telepathic Coordination , Self-control , spying by different ways ( mind probe, invisibility, cameleon, dispersal ... )
If I could bring two more super-heroes, I would choose Batman ( Wayne) and Flash ( Barry Allen or Wally West) but we could also consider they are some kind of supervisors of the Teen Titans Team.
I would really like to see a roster that didn't have the big 7 and represented some of the other Superhero families instead. Captain Marvel Green Arrow Zatanna Hawkman Cyborg (Upgraded with Hank Henshaw, Metallo, Limited Amazo tech) Captain Atom Vixen
Interesting mix.
Captain Marvel = I think of him as "JSA" although you could really argue the Marvels as their own "family"
Green Arrow = I think of him as a JLA guy, though not a front-runner
Zatanna = Magic end of the JLA, which is more prominent now with JL Dark
Hawkman = JSA
Cyborg = Titans
Captain Atom = JLI (personally I'd pick Booster but then I'd read a JL book populated with just 7 Boosters on the roster)
Vixen = JL Detroit. Is she the only survivor of that team? I actually think she is! Yikes.
But yeah, good mix, although I think it'd be cool if you subbed GA for a "seven soldiers of victory" character or replaced Hawkman with a New Gods character like Barda or something.
Main Team: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and Dick Grayson (whether as Nightwing or Robin).
Secondary Members: Green Arrow, Black Canary, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, The Atom, Elongated Man, Zatanna, Firestorm, Plastic Man, Steel, Batgirl (Babs), Supergirl, John Stewart, and Mera
