Justice Society of America Headquarters

The **Justice Society of America Headquarters**, also called the **Justice Society of America Museum**, is the former haven and meeting spot for the Golden Age heroes of the Justice Society of America. It became an abandoned shrine for their remaining artifacts and belongings, until a new generation of heroes rose to power, claiming it as their own. Years later, the new generation converted the headquarters into a museum.

## History

During the Golden Age of heroes, several incredible heroes joined forced to form the Justice Society of America. They settled into a building that would serve as their main headquarters during their reign. They often discussed important matters in the headquarters, and it was one of the few places that they could be themselves. A circular table sat in the center of the room where each JSA member had a seat. On the walls around the table were full-length posters of each key JSA member. Dr. Mid-Nite's owl resided in the headquarters from approximately 1941 to the present day.

On December 24th, 2010, Pat Dugan was hunkered over his car ensuring that it was ready for anything. He was joined by fellow JSA member Johnny Thunder who, like Pat, had been benched in the mighty battle against the ISA. The men discussed being sidekicks as Johnny woes over being another mess for the JSA to clean up due to the Thunderbolt he wielded. Wildcat entered just then to call Johnny into action, as the ISA now had a complete roster with the addition of Solomon Grundy. Pat was also ready to jump into action, but Wildcat relayed Starman's orders that only team members were permitted to fight. He and Johnny left while Pat stayed behind. When the JSA was killed in a battle against the Injustice Society, Pat Dugan brought each of the JSA's important artifacts and suits back to the headquarters. They stayed sediment alongside Dr. Mid-Nite's owl until a new generation of heroes was ready to assume the fallen mantles.

In 2020, Pat brings his stepdaughter Courtney Whitmore to the headquarters to show her the ramifications of becoming a superhero. It's here that she decides to rebuild the JSA, believing the artifacts shouldn't just be collecting dust. Despite his objections, Courtney flies back to the headquarters late that night with the Cosmic Staff. She then takes an hourglass an its suit, a pair of goggles and its suit, a cowl, a green lantern, and a pink pen.

Ten years later, in 2031, the Justice Society of America has a new legacy. Richard Swift leads a group of eager patrons on a tour of the JSA museum. Banners for each member hangs around them, along with exhibits dedicated to their specialties. Shade identifies who sits around the table, pointing at where the chairs would be. Starwoman, Wildcat, Jade and her brother Obsidian, Dragon Queen, S.T.R.I.P.E. 2.0, Jakeem Thunder, Icicle, Artemis, Sand, Damage, as well as Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite. The latter of who's impending nuptials are just around the corner, and will be officiated by Shade. With those two, come their loyal if somewhat foul-smelling and simple-minded friend, Solomon Grundy.

United, the JSA stopped the Injustice Society from brainwashing America, then prevented the demonic brute Eclipso from merging his nightmarish world with theirs. They shut down the Ultra-Humanite before he could tarnish Starman's legacy. They brought the true Sylvester Pemberton back to life. Then, they rescued the Seven Soldiers of Victory from a cosmic deity called The Nebula Man. They're the greatest heroes the world has ever seen. But they won't be the last. Because there are other legacies of heroism waiting for a new generation to find, to take on, to rise up. For as much as evil has tried to destroy the Justice Society of America, it cannot. Nothing can.

## Artifacts and Belongings

### Current

* **Excalibur -** This gilded sword was once wielded by King Arthur before being passed onto Seven Soldiers of Victory leader, Justin. It has a silver hilt with amber jewels on it. The blade is also silver with an ancient Celtic cross at the bud of the blade, along with ancient engravings and designs. It is a long and silver sword that he uses in combat.
* **Flash's Helmet -** The Flash wore a winged helmet, reminiscent of the helmet of the Roman god Mercury, during his time with the JSA.
* **Helmet of Fate -** Dr. Fate wore this helmet during his time with the JSA. It contains unknown powerful properties.
* **Hootie -** This male owl, named "Hootie", is incredibly special and waits patiently for Dr. Mid-Nite to return from each of his missions. When Dr. Mid-Nite would arrive at the headquarters, the owl would fly and land on his arm perfectly. Pat Dugan remarked that he doesn't know what makes the owl special. The owl, however, doesn't know that Dr. Mid-Nite is dead and is still waiting for him to come home.
* **Sandman Mask -** The bronze-toned gas mask belonged to Sandman before his death in 2010.
* **Thunderbolt Pen -** A version of the Thunderbolt pen rests in a clear case in the JSA headquarters, atop a podium.

### Former

* **Dr. Mid-Nite Suit -** Brilliant doctor and engineer Charles McNider wore the suit for many years while fronting as the superhero Dr. Mid-Nite. He wore it for all of his significant battles against the ISA and other foes. He was commonly photographed wearing it. The suit was usually paired with his trusty owl. 10-years-ago during the JSA's battle against the ISA, Dr. Mc-Nider was consumed by an ISA member and died in the suit. Pat Dugan presumably took the suit and kept it and other Dr. Mid-Nite related artifacts in the JSA's headquarters.
* **Dr. Mid-Nite's Goggles -** Charles McNider manufactured the goggles after he lost sight fighting the mob. The goggles helped him see again - but only in limited versions. He then uploaded an artificial intelligence of himself into the goggles which are connected to the JSA database. This gave him access to personal records of those he saw. After his death, the goggles were placed in the JSA's headquarters alongside his suit.
* **Hourman Suit -** Rex Tyler wore the suit for many years while fronting as the superhero Hourman. He wore it for all of his significant battles against the ISA and other foes. He was commonly photographed wearing it. He wore it until, presumably, 10-years-ago during the JSA's battle against the ISA. Rex was one of two JSA members who survived. It is unknown what happened to the suit after that. Rick died in a car accident two-years-ago and his suit, hourglass, and other Hourman related artifacts were left in the JSA's headquarters.
* **Hourman's Hourglass -** Rex Tyler manufactured the hourglass using science. The hourglass grants him super strength for one hour a day. He paired it with his DNA so the hourglass would only work for him. After his death, the hourglass was placed in the JSA's headquarters alongside his suit.
* **Wildcat Suit -** Boxing champion Ted Grant wore the suit for many years while fronting as the superhero Wildcat. He wore it for all of his significant battles against the ISA and other foes. He was commonly photographed wearing it. 10-years-ago during the JSA's battle against the ISA, Ted was fatally wounded and died in the suit. Pat Dugan presumably took the suit and kept it and other Wildcat related artifacts in the JSA's headquarters.

* **Green Lantern's Power Battery -** On December 24, 2010, the Green Lantern presumably used this power battery in a fight against the Injustice Society of America. He was unfortunately killed during the battle. The power battery was then taken to the JSA's headquarters by Pat Dugan. The lantern remained dormant ever since.

* **The Thunderbolt -** Very little is known about the Thunderbolt, except that it is the most powerful artifact in the headquarters. It presents itself as a non-menacing pink ballpoint pen. When Courtney attempted to take the Thunderbolt it zapped her and made a laughing sound.

## Notes and Trivia

* The Justice Society of America headquarters is located in Civic City, which is a day-trip from Blue Valley, Nebraska.
* According to Pat Dugan, every member of the Golden Age JSA had a work room in the Justice Society of America headquarters. The garage served as Stripesy and Starman's work area where they spent the majority of their time. Years later, the new JSA's work rooms became public.
