Justice Lords (Team)

## History

### The 2000s

A group of successors to legendary heroes forms and later names themselves the Justice Lords. The original team consists of:

* - Hal Jordan, who succeeds Alan Scott as the new Green Lantern.
* - Ray Palmer, who succeeds Al Pratt as the new Atom.
* - Diane Prince, who succeeds Hippolyta as the new Wonder Woman.
* - Bruce Wayne, who succeeds Simon Trent as the new hero (possibly taking on the role of Batman).
* - Barry Allen, who succeeds Jay Garrick as the new Flash.

As the Justice Lords continue their heroic endeavours, they become a formidable team, each carrying the legacy of their predecessors while forging their own path. Over time, the Justice Lords further strengthen their ranks by welcoming new members into the team:

* Green Arrow, a skilled archer and hero, joins the Justice Lords.
* Superman, formerly known as Superboy (Clark Kent), becomes a valuable addition to the team as he fully embraces his role as a superhero and develops into a powerful force for good.
* Black Canary, known for her sonic scream and fighting skills, also joins the ranks of the Justice Lords.
* Martian Manhunter, having returned from space, rejoins the team, bringing his shape-shifting and telepathic abilities to the group.

### The 2010s

Wally West, the Flash, meets his demise at the hands of Lex Luthor. Superman Red kills Luthor to prevent a nuclear war, leading to a turning point in the actions of the Justice Lords.

#### Justice Lords Takeover

The Justice Lords, led by Superman Red, begin a program of "protecting humanity from itself," effectively taking over Earth. They enforce their brand of order and justice, which involves brainwashing and lobotomizing inmates of Arkham Asylum, among other measures.

#### Conflict with Prime-Earth Justice League

The Justice Lords learn of another universe and attempt to force their rule on that world. They are eventually defeated by the Justice League of Prime-Earth, who resist their attempts to impose their version of order. Meanwhile, a Resistance has formed, led by Green Arrow, to oppose the Justice Lords' tyranny. The Resistance manages to imprison the Justice Lords, including Batman and Superman Red.

#### Fate of the Justice Lords

* Superman Red is destroyed.
* Batman is imprisoned, but later released due to good behaviour.
* Hawkwoman's cover as a spy for the Thanagarians is blown by The Question, and she is exposed. Thus, Thanagar never invades Earth.
* Martian Manhunter disappears without a trace.
* Wonder Woman loses her powers and vanishes. At the same time, a new Batwoman appears.
* Green Lantern's ring is taken back to Oa, and John Stewart is sentenced to a lifelong punishment on Mosaic World.

## The Now Now

Twenty years after the Keene-Law was established, that outlawed all vigilantes and superheroes. President Carlin decides to lift the ban on superheroes, ushering in a new era of hope for the world. In this renewed climate, a conglomerate of heroes comes together to reform the Justice Lords, with a mission to restore faith in heroes and protect the innocent. The new Justice Lords consist of:

* Atomic Flash (Willem West): Taking up the mantle of the Flash, Willem West is a speedster who uses his powers for justice and protecting the innocent.
* Black Arrow (Olly Queen): Oliver Queen becomes Black Arrow, an archer vigilante, and one of the core members of the new Justice Lords.
* Huntress (Helena Wayne): Helena Wayne, adopting the mantle of Huntress, joins the team as a skilled and determined vigilante.
* Artemis (Sara Queen): Sara Queen, the successor to the Green Arrow legacy, fights alongside her brother as Artemis.
* Hawkgirl (Kiera Saunders): Kiera Saunders takes on the mantle of Hawkgirl, bringing her wings and fierce warrior skills to the team.
* Blue Haunt (Colin Garret): Colin Garret, adopting the identity of Blue Haunt, brings his unique abilities to the Justice Lords.
* Flameblazer (Allison Reilly): Allison Reilly wields the powers of fire as Flameblazer, rounding out the team's diverse abilities.

### Year 1

The New Justice Lords consisting of leader discover an intrigue orchestrated by Vandal Savage, the Evader and their Injustice Gang. They are planning on selling Earth to the Reach, but also betraying the Reach with their own technology. No time to waste for the newly formed team to save earth, from the smartest and most dangerous Villains. Black Arrow sacrifices his life to save everyone, which leaves the Lords shattered. The team temporarily disbanded, and Huntress then elects to spend time with her baby.

### Year 2

Their leader Atomic Flash has gone missing, and this leads Artemis out of her sorrow. She calls the team back together, supported by the new members. Their efforts to find Atomic Flash soon puts them in the hands of the villain team Fearsome Five, whose plan is to leave the Justice Lords stranded across the multiverse, so they can take over a defenceless earth. Wasptronic leaves the team, disgruntled by the experience. Shimmerstar is ousted from the team due to his betrayal, although he didn't really have a choice and proves their judgement to be wrong by continuing as hero.

* Artemis (Sara Queen)
* Hawkgirl (Kiera Saunders)
* Blue Haunt (Colin Garret)

### Year 3

After the win over the Fearsome Five, everybody has now clear in mind what they want from life. Artemis alias Sara wants to focus on a normal life for a while, Blue Haunt alias Colin wants to be a scientist at Star Labs for which he has to finish his engineering PhD, Starblazer alias Allison goes to work for the government, Atomic Flash alias Eobard has enough from the field service and decides to solely train new heroes and Hawkgirl alias Kiera simply wants to finish school with acceptable grades. The Invasion plans of Darkseid is therefore very untimely for the Justice Lords, but a team is a team and a threat is a threat. Luckily, they are supported by fresh heroes. Artemis stays behind on Darkseid’s warship and, aided by the spirit of her brother, she disables the hellspores implanted on Earth. Blue Haunt practically retires at the end of Year 3. Flameblazer joins the DOA, as an agent, and journeys into more intergalactic missions. Artemis and Superion continue as heroes, but not as part of the team. While Chain Lighter is ousted due to being actually a villain.

### Year 4

The events of year 3 caused temporal changes in the timeline, and year 4 is a soft continuity reboot. Eobard has resigned as field hero and trains new heroes. A vote is held for a new leader of the team, the outcome leaves Superion so disgruntled that he leaves the Justice Lords. So the All-New Justice Lords have to fill big shoes.
