    A). i think 12 is too many. At least it is for the way things are for the Justice League right now. So i'd go with less, but since your saying 12, i'll do twelve.

    1. Superman

    2. Batman

    3. Wonder Woman

    4. Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

    5. The Flash (Barry Allen)

    6. Cyborg

    7. Aquaman

    8. Martian Manhunter

    9. Green Arrow

    10. Zatanna

    11. Animal Man

    12. Swamp Thing

    That'd be fun, but in seriousness, i'd end my list at Green Arrow. At the Most

    An American Pantheon: The gods and Heroes of the DC Olympians

    1. Superman – As the Sun-god from Smallville, Kal-El is the most Apollonian.
    2. Wonder Woman – With wisdom as well as beauty, Diana is the most Athenian.
    3. Batman – As a creature of the underworld, Bruce is the most Plutonian
    4. Green Lantern – Being able to construct anything, Hal is the most Vulcan.
    5. Flash – As a speedster and scientist, Barry Allan is the most Mercurial.
    6. Aquaman – As lord of the sea, Arthur is most Neptunian
    7. Martian Manhunter – Like his name implies, J’onn is quite literally Martian.
    8. Hawkman – Another warrior, Carter is more closely related to Horus.
    9. Green Arrow – Both a heroic archer and liberal politician, Oliver is not unlike Theseus.
    10. Shazam – As the captain of thunder and lightning, Billy Batson is the most Jovial.

    I haven’t decided yet which two heroes are most iconic and worthy to complete my proposed Dodekatheon. As you can see, I’m not quite slavish to forcing a one-to-one correspondence with the actual Olympians of Greek Mythology.

    1. Superman

    2. Batman

    3. Wonder Woman

    4. Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

    Confer my post in the thread "What's your Justice League Dream Team?"

    I would have made the Justice League more akin to a highly organized super-human militia with a clear structure and hierarchy.

    All members of the League would be said to belong to “The Pantheon.” This Pantheon would be broken into 12 divisions, with division heads acting as the commanding field officers and general council, known as “The Olympians.” Of these Twelve, three are members of the executive council, known as “The Trinity.” The breakdown is as follows:

    1. Superman – Head of the Metropolis Marvels, including Superboy and Supergirl
    2. Batman – Head of the Gotham Knights, including Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and Huntress
    3. Wonder Woman – Head of the Amazon Sisters, including Donna (of) Troy and Wonder Girl
    4. Green Lantern – Head of the Emerald Warriors, including Guy Garner, Kyle Rayner, and Simon Baz
    5. The Flash – Head of the Scarlet Speedsters, including Kid Flash (Wally West) and Impulse (Bart Allen)
    6. Aquaman – Head of the New Others, including Mera, Aqualad (Jackson Hyde), the Operative, Prisoner of War, and Ya’wara
    7. Martian Manhunter – Head of the Justice League Task Force, including Animal Man, Blue Beatle (Ted Kord), Booster Gold, and Captain Atom
    8. Hawkman – Head of the Justice Society, including Alan Scott, Jay Garrick (who is straight), the Atom, Dr. Fate, Powergirl, Stargirl, and Hawkgirl
    9. Green Arrow – Head of the Archers, including Black Canary and Arsenal
    10. Captain Marvel – Head of the Marvel Family, including Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr.
    11. Cyborg – Head of the Teen Titans, including Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven
    12. Firestorm – Head of the Justice League Black, including Steel, Batwing, John Stewart, and Black Lightning

    Altogether there are 52 members of the Justice League

    Among the twelve Olympians their order here represents their rank with respect to one another, especially while in the field or in active battle. Superman serves as the Chairman, Batman the Vice Chairman, and Wonder Woman as the Secretary.

    Outside of the Justice League are entirely separate organizations such as the Superman Squad, Batman, Inc., and the Legion of Superheroes.
