    As of now, I'd say Cyborg, since he seems to mostly be used for tracking and Boom Tubes. =/

    Whilst I really like the New 52 version of Aquaman and am glad to see him back in the League, his powers are simply superstrength, durability and the ability to communicate with/control sealife. Cyborg at least has an important role in terms of intel, providing a means of transport via boom tube, computer hacking skills and offensive weaponry. He does make for a better member power wise than Aquaman IMO.

    Cyborg has only been a member since the new 52 . Prior to that he was a teen Titan.

    My vote is Aquaman. Most of his on land powerset is covered by one member or another.

    @Tunsieon: Batman is an important member, none of them can do what he can... maybe since the advent of Cyborg some of his functions have been taken up by Cyborg, but he is still necessary to the team. While Cyborg can collect the intel and go all savvy with the techie stuff... Batman is still needed to do the thinking. Aquaman however is just muscle..and their are bigger muscles in the team...

    ps: i don't hate aquaman, in fact his solo series is one of my favourite books..and i find it kinda cool how he lives in a lighthouse with a hot redhead... ;)

    Plus he's still the 'general' of the group. I'd say that he's one of the most valuable members if Cyborg weren't in the group. He kind of makes Batman redundant.

    I know. I have read the entire original New Teen Titans run (my favourite run of all time) and other Titans/Teen Titans runs since.

    He was great as a Titan and he could have been a great addition to the JLA had he been the latest arrival in an already established team and as part of his character development.

    In the New 52, years of awesome character development are gone, so is the Martian Manhunter and it all feels forced.

    yup... he is not useless... but if u compare aquaman and cyborg, i think cyborg plays a more important role.. i mean cyborg gets handy in collecting all the techie stuff and all. Of course Batman could do the same but to a lesser extent.. whereas their are already a bunch of powerful characters like superman, wonder woman and green lantern who can do better at what aquaman does... unless in a very specific scenario where a lot of water is involved...

    I don't see how Aquaman is more pointless than the Flash.If people are saying that all of Aquaman's abilities on land are covered by someone else.Superman and Wonder Woman have super speed.Maybe not on Flash's level but not to far off.

    Wonder Woman's powers are more or less duped in Superman only slightly weaker in most areas. However, is it really a problem to have two powerhouses who are good at everything? I don't think so.

    I would cut Flash if I had to since Superman and Wonder Woman can reach ridiculously fast speeds as well. Granted, Barry is much faster, but that little bit of extra speed is nothing compared to the muscle of WW and Supes.

    Got ya. I thought you meant he was useless as a justice league member of the past 50 years. my mistake.

    I don't know about forced but I Think Steel should have been there in his place (with more of his old style of armor and not the dreadful post-new 52 armor) and I also think that MM should be on the team as well.

    Aquaman and Wonder Woman

    Let's Look at The Facts/Powers

    Useful

    Superman- Super Strength, Flight, Invulnerability, Heat Vision, Ice Breath, Rapid Healing, Super Speed, Super Stamina, Super Hearing, And 50 Other Kinds of Vision, Genius Intellect

    Green Lantern- Will Power Based Hard Light Constructs, Force Fields That Sustain Life in Space, Flight, Hyperspace Travel, Universal Translation, Access To Oan History Files, Transmutation,

    Cyborg- Super Strength, Super Endurance, Super Durability, Ability to interface with ANY COMPUTER, Flight, Boom Tube Generation/Teleportation, Flight, Ability to Integrate new Weapons, Sonic Cannons, Plasma Cannons, Advanced Sensors, Genius Intellect

    Batman- Genius Intellect, Peak Physical and Mental Conditioning, MONEY. Master martial artist, detective, strategist, tactician, and escapologist. Master of stealth. Master of disguise. Proficient with technology. Excellent observational skills. Photographic memory. Expert acrobat and marksman.

    Flash- TIME TRAVEL, Super Speed, Super Memory, Super Fast Thought Processing, Phasing, Self-Molecular Control

    Useless/Redundant

    Aquaman- Superhuman strength,speed, agility, and endurance. Water Breathing. Fish Command. Superior hand-to-hand combatant. Healing factor.

    Wonder Woman- Superhuman strength,speed, agility, and endurance. Flight. Superior hand-to-hand combatant. Healing factor.

    But it's not all about powers. They all have distinct, likable personalities (IMO) that make stories interesting. And each one of the 7 is someone's favorite. Mine is Cyborg. And I LOVE Aquaman's ongoing series. Plus there's nothing is wrong with power redundancy since no hero can be everywhere and they need all the help that they can get.

    The thing is: DC needed a character who was his own man (so no Steel because he appeared as one of Superman's replacements) and who did not have the word "black" in his name and DC just does not have a lot of choice.

    I understand why they did it, and had it kept his awesome backstory with the Titans, it would have felt like he made it to the big league (although I am not the biggest fan of Titans "graduating" into Leaguers, they have their own thing going on) but having him replace the Martian Manhunter in the origin story with everyone else on the team was just weird.

    Nah. Steel is more of DC's Iron man even though he was written to fill the Superman void. He actually adds to the group and Steel is a great name, character, and has a great powerset. I don't want to get into a war of opinions with you nor do I want to argue pigment based issues so I will respectfully bow out of this dialogue as this looks like it is rapidly becoming a zero-fun conversation. Take care.

    Nah. Steel is more of DC's Iron man even though he was written to fill the Superman void. He actually adds to the group and Steel is a great name, character, and has a great powerset.

    He did wear Superman's logo and cape, his name directly comes from "Man of Steel" and his origin story is directly linked to Superman, who saved him.

    Other than that, he is a great character (by far my favourite of the four Super-Men) and I loved Morrison's run on JLA but this League allowed Bat/Super-Family. Johns wanted original characters for the origin story.

    Hey guys. We've had this race problem for 76+ years. Let's not do anything to fix that.
