A Brief History: |
| Years Two - Five: With the Secret Sanctuary's location exposed, the JLA soon enlisted the
help of the United Nations to build a new headquarters. They constructed the Justice
League Satellite, which orbited 22,300 miles above the Earth. The JLA's newest
headquarters boasted some tremendous resources. The greatest scientists on Earth used
remnants of technology recovered from the various alien invasions over the years, combined
with the technology of the Guardians of the Universe, to develop a teleportation device
that the JLA used to bring members to the satellite from any place on Earth. The JLA
Satellite contained living facilities for all the members. It had extensive facilities for
monitoring events on Earth, and members were required to take turns serving 24-hour shifts
on monitor duty. The JLA satellite also included a meeting room, souvenir room,
laboratory, pool, computer room, gymnasium, dining facilities and sick bay.
With its new headquarters the JLA became a force to be
reckoned with. They teamed up with the JSA to defeat Solomon Grundy; helped Deadman foil
the plans of the League of Assassins; worked with Adam Strange to defend both Earth and
Rann from the alien vampire Starbreaker, traveled through time with the JSA to rescue the
time-tossed Seven Soldiers of Victory from the Iron Hand, fought Hector Hammond, recruited
Red Tornado II and the Elongated Man as members; defeated the menace of Eclipso; battled
the Injustice Gang of the World, which included the likes of Libra, Tattooed Man, Chronos,
Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and Mirror Master I; fought old enemies like Amazo, Despero, Kanjar
Ro, the Key, and the Shaggy Man; helped the JSA subdue their temporarily superhuman and
insane teammate Sandy; battled the alien Manhunters for the first time with the aid of the
mysterious alien woman named Willow; rescued the Red Tornado from the clutches of the evil
robot Construct; met the Privateer; attended the wedding of the Atom; and even met, along
with the JSA, heroes from other time periods like Miss Liberty, Jonah Hex, the Black
Pirate and others.
Participation in League emergencies varied over time as
individual heroes were called away by crises of more personal natures. Superman
concentrated his efforts on his city, Metropolis. Batman quit the JLA to form the
Outsiders. Hawkman and Hawkwoman were only semi-active, preferring to limit their
activities to the JSA. The Flash was on trial for murder. Green Lantern Hal Jordan had
been exiled from Earth by the Guardians of the Universe. The Atom disappeared into the
Amazon rain forest. Green Arrow and Black Canary were spending more time fighting
down-to-earth menaces such as street crime in Star City. Red Tornado was trying to become
more human and had been devoting more time to his personal life. Firestorm had to devote
more time to college. During this time, the League was barely able to defeat villains such
as the Royal Flush Gang, Hector Hammond and the Ani-Men. At a particularly low point in
the group effort, during an invasion by aliens pretending to be Martians, Aquaman, the
active chairman, disbanded the League. |
