## Overview

The Justice League was intially formed to prevent The Appellaxians from taking over the earth and would plan to enslave more planets after earth. Shortly after defeating the alien they would rise in popularity being an popular team and would be the reason why other teams would form in the process. On each New Years eve the Justice League's current members and would vote four members before the New Year along with looking for members from different teams.

The age that of admission into the League is within the age of eighteen years old, with Shazam having been an exception. The Leader of the League is usually placed in a vote with each term going into a discussion on whether they should be trusted. If another election is held with Superman having served from their founding in 1999 to 2003, Batman served the shortest term due o being a half timer at the time from 2003 to 2006 Wonder Woman served from 2006 to 2012, and finally the current leader Black Canary from 2012 to Present Day.

During the OMAC Crisis it was decided that in case of the founders having died, there should be a reserve team made up of their most trusted recruits, as of later that year it was decided that the Titans would be the best fit to cover their duties. Due to Wonder Woman and Green Lantern's connections to the US government they often gain funding and are viewed as a relief effort group of a U.N Charter, though they often have to avoid countries that restrict US interference.

In order to keep their base of operations afloat, The Watchtower, they often rely on ARGUS funding along with various donations from various Wayne Enterprise funds.

## History

### The Super Friends: 1998 - 1999

On New Years eve in 1998, a group of aliens named the Appellaxians invaded Earth. This led to eight heroes to answer the call and these heroes were Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Green Lantern, and Martain Manhunter to defend the earth in the process. This led to the heroes forming an alliance and became the super friends, using a base off the coast of Happy Harbor Superman and Green Lantern had caved the cave for them to move into when needed to work together, along with building communicators when needed in case any of the heroes can contact the others. They would abandon Mt. Justice in early 1999 due to Vandal Savage finding their base because of Snapper Carr, an ARGUS agent that oversaw the team. They were able to defeat Savage but due to their base being destroyed ARGUS had provided them with two new ones, the Hall of Justice and the Watchtower, no longer going by the Super Friends Flash had given the name of the Justice League.

### The Formation: 1999 - 2001

In 2000, The Justice League would form offcially due to Brainaic attacking various citites this led to Batman, Superman, Flash, and Wonder Woman banding together to stop the alien after getting all innocents away from Central City the League had continued to fight off Brainaics drones Aquaman had arrived to provide aid to the heroes while Superman and Green Lantern had gone to Brainaics ship in order to stop the android while in the process rescuing hostages who were being held as captavies in the ship. After making their public debut the name of the Justice League became well known throughout the world, but not just on earth but outter space. due to this the League had began to discuss to expand their ranks such as adding Aquaman along with the second Green Lantern, John Stewart as founding members but also began to move foward with their terms of recruiting new members such as holding a founders meeting every New Years Eve to see who should be allowed into their ranks.

Later that year, the League had brought in Captain Marvel, Atom, the third Green Lantern (Guy Gardner), and Black Lightning as members.

### Doom: 2001 - 2003

The following year, the team had began to move into the Watchtower along with having their alien members go out into planets to build relations as a way to see if they could gain more members from other planets, not long after Luthor had grown tired of constantly losing to Superman so as a way to even the odds he formed the Injustice League which was composed of Black Adam, Captain Cold, Cheetah, Joker, and Sinestro, this failed as the League put the members away but being unable to put away Luthor.

### Doomsday: 2003

### The First Coming: 2004

In 2004, Steppenwolf came to Earth. The League further expanded their forces to have heroes avaible on earth. The army of Parademons would be spread around the world. But the epicenter of the army was at Chernobyl in Russia. Cyborg helped find out Steppenwolf's plan. The League forbade the Teen Titans to be involved in the battle deeming them not ready. The League would rally at Chernobyl and defeated Steppenwolf and his Parademons. Not long after the League had put into a place a protocol that would allow the League to hand pick new members from the Teen Titans and who would be elected as the new leader.

### Expansion: 2004 - 2009

### Syndicate Supreme: 2010 - 2011

Under the guidance of Lex Luthor and Amanda Waller, they had created their own Justice League, the Syndicate Superme to where they became highly popular amoung the public which caused fricition between the two sides and using their thier connections through ARGUS they had revealed that the Hall wasn't actually their base but a front, for the Watchtower that was monitoring the planet due to this the public had slowly began to lose faith in the League. using this to their adavantage the Syndicate had gone around commiting crimes, as a result some League members off wrold to aid whoever they could ins space. The League would later defeat them and would gain a new , defiling name the Criminal Syndicate, with that in hand the Leagues trust in the public was somewhat regained, due to this the Outsiders had been removed by the League to work without any law and UN interference.
