Ultimate Justice League

The Justice League is the ultimate superhero team and the following would be my dream team. Some may argue over the Justice League being the ultimate league but I'm not debating that here. I was inspired by a fellow contributor and I had to make my own dream team. I put no restrictions on my team except that they had to work together. I needed a leader and so on. I considered different time lines, villains and even characters who may have died. I even considered Characters from other universes like Marvel. I just chose not to use them. I chose ten members to have a nice round number.

List items

  • Guy Gardner is the ultimate foil. He keeps everyone in check or rather everyone keeps him in check

  • Booster is the man from the future. Besides being egotistical and money driven he is also a bit of a sad sack. Things just don't go well for Booster due to his personality. However the situations he gets himself into add many humerus stories.

  • I do like the new Blue Beetle but for my money Ted Kord is the best. Ted would be the Beetle I would have in my league. He is the scientific mind to my league and he has the uber-cool Bug ship for the league to get from place to place.

  • Yes, I know Harley Quinn is the Joker's sidekick but when written like her original concept in Batman: the Animated series she has an unbelievable charm. The darker comic book version wouldn't work as well. Although she is pretty cool so far in Gotham City Sirens. In my league Harley would be the reformed villain. Much like when she helped Batman in the DC Animated Universe. Think of her as a charter with an addiction to crime or the Joker and the League looks after her as she tries to kick the habit. She will however keep the charm from the cartoon that all of us love so much.

  • The show Justice League Unlimited showed how cool the Question could be. Of course I would have The original Question and not the Rene version. His over the top and usually correct paranoia adds a vast amount of levels to the heroes villains and stories.

  • Ragman is rarely written about in a way that shows how cool and interesting he really is. His rags holding the evil souls of criminals adds the dark element to the league.

  • Ice is the sweetest charter in the DC Universe. I'm guessing she it the sweetest charter ever. With the exception of maybe having a craving for seal meat (unconfirmed) she wouldn't hurt a fly. She is the soul of my league.

  • You cannot have Ice without Fire. Fire is the big sister for Ice. (Not literally) She also adds a little sultriness to the league.

  • Captain Atom is a real U.S. Military Captain unlike many heroes and villains. That is why he is my leader. He has also been a Justice League Leader and can put the hammer down when he needs too. He is also extremely powerful, rivaling even Superman. I would however change his look. Getting rid of the gloves and boots and making his containment suit all silver with the red logo.

  • Maxima is another of my power houses. A leader of a whole planet she is a strong female hero and they are rare. I like the idea that she would be one of the toughest people in my league. Wonder Woman would just make the league too busy with her adventures like a Superman or Batman. I like the league having their own stories instead of being a group of sidekicks to a "Superman" Maxima also has a short temper and will be quick to fight.

It's been years but I had to come back and say I love this team . Knowing them better than I did years ago, I can say that I'd definitely read this book.

@Tunsieon: Yeah HQ has been made a lot darker since I made this list but there was a time when it was a lot more likely.  I guess if I was writing for DC I would things different.  That said Plasticman was an ex-con and he was in the league with the big seven.

I wouldn't have considered HQ, interesting choice. I bloody love both Vic and Rory, so I'm all for those choices. I wouldn't have gone for Maxima myself, but to each their own. Overall, a very good list. I wouldn't mind seeing this team in the comics, though I'd like a good explanation as to why the world's greatest heroes would let HQ in.

I didn't see this list until I clicked on followed user lists and there it was. Anyway this team has a really good mixture of personalities and power sets in the team. I especially like your choice of Ragman not because I particularly like him but because he's a dark horse of the team. It would be interesting to see how this team functions.

Your list inspired me to do a similar list. I think the Question in an interesting choice, but I went the Dick Grayson route to replace Batman. Ragman would be interesting too. Unfortunately, I chose Kilowog over Guy (don't hate me!)... Guy's good, but he's one of those guys that I can't picture in a team (hell, like Batman). Plus, I want Kilowog just to hear him call people poozers!

@RoninKane:   I love your comments but let me disagree with you here and hopefully convince you otherwise.  The Question is no different than Batman.  Batman for about 70 comicbook years was always the loaner.  He was the guy for years who wouldn't join but would be there if he was needed.  It was the same with the DCAU.   He referred to himself as a part timer.  This is the role I see him playing.  
 
As far as Maxima is concerned she was part of the JLI for about 30 issues and became part of Extreme Justice for about 24 more issues.  This is a pretty good track record as a team player.  As for her personality I won't argue that but I  will say her personality worked well with the group.  I loved her arguments with guy Gardner.  Once Guy even told her "If you really want to find a Guy to plant your seed you should talk to a real Garner."  It was hilarious.

       I like the current story arch the JLI and think Harley and Ragman would bring great things to the team like mystery from Ragman a strait fun from Harley, but I'm just not feeling the Question and Maxima. The Question is a great character but he has always been a loner just like they said in JL Unlimited you referred to. It would be hard to place him on an ongoing team, he is more of a only call if you really need to know something. I'll be frank about Maxima, she has always been a super powered stuck up bitch that would step all over this team or better yet feel lowered by beathing the same air as them. The Ultimate JL, I won't go that far, its hard to beat a Trinity led Justice League from any time period' but with some of these new characters added would make for some good stories and thats why I recommended your list.

Awesome dream team! You're so right, you can't have Fire without Ice. And I love that Harley Quinn is in it! :)

While i don't agree with all your choices, I see that you put a lot of time and effort into it.  I like that you chose a lot of the JLI guys!  I think I'm gonna have to think about 'My' JLA, and make a list too!   
 
Love your lists, btw.

I think it could have been a lot better if the art wasn't so sloppy.  Again that's just my opinion.  I've heard some people mock Ragman in the comic book shop but that sucks because he's a cool character, at least for me.

The 1990's series.  While the stories were excellent, I couldn't get over the awful art.  That's just my opinion, though.

This is an interesting list of choices.  I really like the fact you included Ragman, and I totally agree what you said concerning him.  The bad part is the first series of Ragman had some atrocious artwork in it, but fortunately he's had better artists draw him of late.  A real unique character with unique powers.

@ChadwickDavis:   Maxima.  When Guy suggest that if she really wants someone to plant her seed she should talk to a real Gardner.

I agree with you on Vic (surprise.) Maxima though I am not familiar with her I agree with the reasoning behind the choice. the team needs to function as a team. nice roster all around good to see the "B-Listers" getting their due. keep it up. and don't let one fool who missed the 'yes' button get under your skin.

This would be a great JL to read. I like the addition of Harley and the reasoning for it. I am not familiar with Ragman but he sounds like an interesting character and addition. I have always liked Maxima and of course Vic Sage is awesome.

 Someone went and voted no on all my lists on the same day.  Not sure if it was personal.   If you don't like the list just let me know.
