## Biography

### Unofficial Formation: 1942 - 1945

The Allies were losing in World War 2. The US looked towards Franklin Roosevelt for a decision to be made. There were rumors at the time of humans performing great feats of heroism. So Mr. Roosevelt approached these heroes: Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Lee Travis, Ted Grant, Ted Knight, Justin Arthur, and Greg Sanders. With the help of these people, the Allies turned the tide of the war. But it wasn't enough, the Axis managed to tie the war. This would change when Wonder Woman arrived. With the help of Wonder Woman, the Allies won the war. These heroes were called the Seven Soldiers of Victory. While the heroes thought of Diana as one of their own, others didn't consider Wonder Woman a Soldier.

### Formation: 1969

The team first officially formed in 1969 when the Dragon King terrorized Washington D.C. The Flash (Jay Garrick) raced to the scene when he heard it on the radio. Green Lantern (Alan Scott) got a notification on his ring. Doctor Fate realized it through magic. Skyman (Sylvester Pemberton) was drawn to it through the Cosmic Staff. Commander Steel was in D.C already and went to the battle. These 5 went to battle with the Dragon King. After defeating him, they met with the President who named them The Justice Society of America. Once the team was formed, other heroes such as Wonder Woman, Wildcat, Starman, Vigilante, Crimson Avenger, and Shining Knight joined

### Magic, Magic, and more Magic: 1970 - 1971

In 1970, Wotan and Wizard appeared. The Society would recruit Doctor Mid-Nite, Power Girl, and Sandman (Wesley Dodds). They then took the villains down. In 1971, Vandal Savage threatened America. So the Society recruited Hawkman and Hawkgirl who were longtime enemies of Vandal. Later that year, Red Tornado was created to battle the Society, but instead joined them.

### Brains and Brawn: 1972

In 1972, Solomon Grundy and Brainwave teamed up to defeat the Society. The Society would recruit Hourman, Atom, and Johnny Thunder to help them. Stripesy (the sidekick of Starman) helped them. After they were defeated, Stripesy became an honorary member. A few months later, they recruited Liberty Belle (Libby Allen), Johnny Quick (Johnny Chambers), and Black Canary (Dinah Drake). Later that year, Icicle and Cheetah teamed up but were defeated.

### The Final Batle: 1973 - 2011

In early 1973, the Society helped The Spectre battle Eclipso. After this, The Spectre became an honorary member of the Society and Stripesy became a member. A couple of months later, the villains that they defeated joined forces as the Injustice Society. The JSA went up against the Injustice Society. During that battle Starman sacrificed his life along with Commander Steel. And the Hawks were murdered. And Power Girl was injured. In the final moments of the battle, Wotan cast a spell to make the JSA forget that they were heroes and had powers but Doctor Fate shielded the JSA and the spell were sent upward and were cast on the whole world so the JSA would still remembered who they are while the Injustice Society forgot who they were (except Wotan, Solomon Grundy, and Vandal Savage, though the others would later remember). After this, the JSA went on to retire. In the 2000s, some would go on to mentor other heroes and/or come out of retirement.
