R- Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this Courtney McGinley visiting
from Most amazing Top 5!
The Justice League of America debuted in The Brave and Bold #28 in 1960.
Original members include Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern,
and Martian Manhunter, with several roster changes throughout the year.
C- As well as several alternate versions and spinoffs.
A surprising amount of them being evil twists.
My fave.
R-So letís take a look at the top 10 alternate versions of THE JUSTICE LEAGUE.
R- In the number 10 spot we have THE JUSTICE SOCIETY.
Even though technically the JLA is a different version of the justice society, we would be
at fault not to mention the group that paved the way for the iconic team.
The Justice society was the original justice team from the 40s, composed of Doctor Fate,
the spectre, Hourman, the Atom, the Sandman, the flash, Hawkman, and Green Lantern.
Superman and Batman werenít even a part of the team really, but mentioned as honorary
members who had already left All star Comics.
Sadly when superhero popularity declined, 1951 saw the end of the team.
For a little while anyway.
C-Coming in at number 9 is SHADOWPACT.
The shadowpact was featured in the series Day of Vengeance, and featured a justice league
type team focused on the supernatural aspects of the DCU.
Because of this, a variety of the members were homo magi.
No this is not another gay video.
Homo magi are a sub-race of magic utilizing humans in the DCU.
. The teamís goal was to destroy the Spectre due to his decision to rid the universe of
magic.
Founding members of this team were Enchantress, Ragman, and Detective Chimp.
Because every team needs a monkey.
R-Next, at number 8 we got JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK.
Another more supernatural twist on the JLA was Justice League Dark, which appeared in
the first wave of the new 52.
They were formed after the original justice league was defeated by the enchantress, causing
the creation of a team that included members such as Deadman, Madame Xanadu, John Constantine,
and Zatanna, to name a few.
Their stories were written to be more emotionally dark, and with a team that handles the undead
and immortal, I think that was accomplished.
C-In the number 7 spot is JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000.
This team was a 31st century version of the JLA that took place in the future of the New
52.
A genetic engineering company has saved DNA from the previous heroes of the JLA- and uses
this to bioengineer a new team of Superman, Wonderwoman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and
Batman.
Unlike their clone material, these new heroes are unrefined and strained with a lack of
some of their signature powers, but with danger looming in the form of inter-galactic threats,
they need to pull their crap together for humanityís sake.
R-Coming in at number 6 we have THE JUSTICE LORDS.
First appearing in the animated show Justice League, the Justice Lords were then brought
to the comic book world in the Dc multiverse Earth-50.
When Lex Luthor is elected as president of the US and kills the Flash, some heroes get
a little cheesed at that.
So Batman, Green Lantern, Supes, Wonderwoman, Hawkgirl, and Martian Manhunter band together
to create the justice lords, who seize the government and take over control.
And to do this, they stifle free speech, lobotomize their enemies, and impose curfew.
And you thought your government was bad.
C- Next up, at number 5 is EXTREME JUSTICE.
They take justice to the extremeÖ.you know if you couldnít already tell that by the
name.
Extreme Justice was a spinoff series that introduced us to several members of the original
justice league who were getting fed up and decided to disband.
Lead by Captain Atom, a converging of Booster gold, Maxima, Amazing Man, and Blue Beetle
broke off and formed their own team.
At one point there was Extreme Justice, Justice League, and Task Force.
All at odds with each other.
All wanting to be the champions of justice.
R-Up next at number 4 is THE JOKER LEAGUE.
Now this was a fun one.
In the Emperor Joker series, the Joker steals Mr. (mix-yez-pit-lik) powers and uses them
to warp reality to his liking.
This means Superman is a wanted criminal, Batman is murdered every night over again,
and Aquaman canít go into water.
As well, he assembles the Joker league of Anarchy, composed of Bizarro, Poison Ivy,
Ignition, skism, and other villains.
All of whom follow his whims of creating chaos and spreading destruction.
C-In the number 3 spot, we have JUST A LOTTA ANIMALS.
A whole different JLA.
This parody team is composed of animal versions of superheores, such as Batmouse, Wonder Wabbit,
Green Lambkin, and Super squirrel.
They first appeared in Captain Carrot and his amazing Zoo Crew, which should tell you
a lot about how serious this team was.
The team banded together with the zoo crew to face villains Dr. hoot and Feline Faust.
Oh doctor hoot he sounds fun.
If youíre looking for a team directly opposite to the Justice League Dark, these are your
guys.
Or I guess, your animals.
R-Coming in at number 2 is THE INJUSTICE LEAGUE.
The main carnation of the injustice League was put together in the silver age by Agamemno,
who switched the minds of 8 supervillains with that of the 8 members of the justice
league.
With the help of Lex Luthor he recruited the likes of Bizarro, Cheetah, black Manta, and
the joker to name a few.
Eventually they were forced out of the bodies of the superheores, but they literally knew
them inside out from that point, which made the injustice league effectively deadly to
their counterparts.
C- And finally, in the number 1 spot, weíve got THE CRIME SYNDICATE OF AMERICA.
There were a few different crime syndicates, so today we are focusing on the 2000 version
spelled with a K. Members were evil counterparts of the JLA; Owlman for Batman, Ultraman for
Superman, Superwoman for wonderwoman, Johnny Quick for the flash, and Power Ring for Green
Lantern.
This particular version of the team was evil incarnate.
Owlman brutally murdered.
Ultraman incinerated people on a whim.
They destroyed planets out of boredom.
A far cry from the justice league that we know.
And ten times more fun.
R-So those were the top 10 alternate versions of the JUSTICE LEAGUE.
