a fandom for the Justice League in all it's variations

Over a decade ago, Earth was invaded by Plasma-Aliens. It had been quite a few years since the Justice Society of America had retired and there were relatively few superheroes around. A new hero named Triumph gathered together a group of heroes to stop the invasion. This group included Superman, J'onn J'onzz the Martian Manhunter, Flash II, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Aquaman and Black Canary II. The heroes defeated the Plasma-Aliens, but during the fight, Triumph was caught in a temporal void and disappeared. Due to the temporal disturbance, the other heroes' memories of Triumph and the battle were wiped clean. It would be over a decade later before Triumph returned from the void.

Shortly after the Plasma-Aliens were defeated, a second group of aliens, from the planet Appellax, came to Earth. When the ruler of Appellax perished years before, a competition was declared to determine his successor. The claimants to his throne were sent to Earth, one each representing the dominant life forms of Appellax. Each of the life-forms "recruited" armies from the inhabitants of Earth, transforming people and animals into duplicates of their own form--stone, mercury, glass, bird-creatures, fire, wood, and crystal.

Working together, the most prominent heroes of Earth at the time defeated the menace from the stars. These heroes included the Martian Manhunter, Flash II, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Aquaman, and Black Canary II. Although he also fought one of these aliens, Superman didn't actually meet up with the other heroes. The five assembled heroes decided to join forces as a permanent team to combat evil and uphold justice. They called themselves the Justice League of America, in part to honor the legendary Justice Society of America. The public acceptance of the JLA made it possible for many other heroes to go public at this time.
