—Black Lightning and Batwoman[src]
A **team of vigilantes** was founded by Barry Allen following the conclusion of the Anti-Monitor Crisis in honor of Oliver Queen, who sacrificed himself to give birth to the new multiverse. While Oliver is not an official member due to him not surviving to see its formation, he is considered by the other heroes and superheroes to be one because of his noble sacrifice.

## Overview

The Crisis team is a succession to both The Trinity and Paragons. It is a collection of 7 heroes of Earth-Prime including Barry Allen/The Flash, Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Miles Jackson/Spider-Man, J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter, Kate Kane/Batwoman, Clark Kent/Superman, Sara Lance/White Canary and Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning, as well as their honorary member, Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. The team was created to protect the Earth from anyone who means to cause it harm, but is too powerful for one hero to handle on their own.

## History

### Foundation

The members of this team have teamed up on numerous occasions in various numbers and forms. However, following the Anti-Monitor Crisis and the birth of the new multiverse, the members, after having a private farewell service for Oliver Queen, officially created a pact to protect Earth from anyone who means to cause it harm.

At some point after the team's founding, Nate Heywood/Steel asked if he could join the team, but he never received a response.

After a fight with Faust, the team set up the Injustice Protocols to protect the world if one of them went rogue.

### Armageddon

Barry Allen and Miles Jackson reached out to Jefferson Pierce and they asked Jefferson to meet him at the Hall of Justice. Once Jefferson arrived, Miles and asked him to take away his powers. Jefferson suggested talking to Kara Danvers, J'onn J'onzz, and Sara Lance first, but Miles told him there was no time. He then told Jefferson that he wasn't going to get better and begged Jefferson to take away his powers.

When Jefferson realized that Barry was asking him to take away his powers because of something Despero said, Jefferson said that they could change the future. Miles disagreed with him and told him that getting rid of his speed was the only way to save the world. Miles then fought Jefferson and Barry , but stopped after they accidentally destroyed Oliver Queen's memorial and Jefferson and Barry rebuked Miles for not believing in himself the same way Oliver did. When Despero appeared, Jefferson held him off after Iris West-Allen and Deon Owens revealed that Barry and Miles was innocent and someone had changed the timeline to make him seem insane. Barry and Miles then went to the future to see who really caused Armageddon.

## Behind the scenes

* The team is based on the Justice League. While the founding members in the Arrowverse are the Flash, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Batwoman, Superman, White Canary, and Black Lightning, the classic founding members in the comics are Aquaman, Batman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Wonder Woman.
	+ The only founding members constant between the two are the Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Superman. However, Supergirl, Batwoman, Black Canary, and Black Lightning have been members over the years in the DC comics.
	+ The team's headquarters is a reference to the Hall of Justice, which is a headquarters for the Justice League.
		- In the *Supergirl* episode "Back From the Future - Part One", Winn Schott referred to the team's headquarters as "a Hall of Justice" when he visited from a possible future.
		- In the *DC's Legends of Tomorrow* episode "Stressed Western", it was revealed that the team's headquarters was eventually named the "Hall of Justice".
* The team having contingency plans to protect the world if one of them goes rogue is similar to the contingency plans that Batman has in the DC comics in case any members of the Justice League go rouge.
