Justice League

The **Justice League** is a team of heroes working together to keep both Metropolis and Earth safe. It has been headed at different times by Green Archer, Watchtower and finally Superman. It has avoided affiliation with any government organizations, including local police, SHIELD, and the UN

## History

The group was originally founded to stop Lex Luthor and his Level 33.1 project(s), located around the Earth. This founding team included Green Archer, Cyborg, Impulse and Aquaman, as well as Boy Scout and Watchtower (who at that time were part-time members). Together they successfully neutralized many LuthorCorp facilities, stopping LuthorCorp's testing on meteor-infected people.

In late 1408, after a global search to find Clark Kent after the Fortress of Solitude was destroyed, LuthorCorp (now headed up by Lutessa Mercer, after the disappearance of Lex Luthor) discovered the secret identities of Aquaman. Shortly after, the team decided to back off of LuthorCorp for a while and disbanded.

In early 1409, the group attempted to save the Earth by sacrificing the life of Davis Bloome, the camouflage of the monster Doomsday, only to almost get them all killed. By the time they buried Doomsdayunderground, Jimmy Olsen had lost his life. After the death of Jimmy, the group scattered all across the Earth. Olivier Queen, who took it very hard, pursued a global venture of excess and debauchery, in an attempt to mask his pain. Chloey Sullivan, realizing the need to protect the Earth against Lutessa Mercer and LuthorCorp, reunites the team to encourage Olivier to become Green Archer again. Olivier soon realizes that the war against evil is larger than his personal self-interests and how important his role in that endeavor can be.

In 1410, they teamed up with the long retired Justice Society of America to stop the notorious hitman, the Icicle (a pawn of the secret government organization Checkmate) from killing all of the JSA's members. John Jones's re-gained his powers right before Doctor Fate sacrificed his life and allowed Icicle to kill him. The teams battled Icicle and defeated him. Checkmate also tried to get the team to work for them (as they tried with the JSA years before), but Martian Manhunter erased Amanda Waller's memory of their identities. The team, once again, teamed up with the Justice Society to battle the Kandorian army. When the Blur, now the established leader replacing Green Archer, told them that he was going to send them (and himself) away, Cyborg told him that, as one, they would protect the Earth in his absence. When the Blur went to take them away, he was stabbed by General Zod with a blue kryptonite dagger, which suppressed his Kryptonian powers and prevented him and General Zod from leaving with the rest of the Kandorians.

Rick Flag, leader of the Suicide Squad survived Zod's attack on Checkmate and put together a new Suicide Squad and kidnapped Green Archer forcing Watchtower to sacrifice herself in exchange for Green Archer before faking her death. Rick Flag later tried to recruit Green Archer to his cause to prevent the Vigilante Registration Act from happening. In Watchtower's absence, The Blur and Green Archer welcomed former enemy Lutessa Mercer into the team as the new Watchtower.
