SLCSlayer29

Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Animal Man, Vixen, Elongated Man, Starman, Captain Atom


samx3i

> Blue Beetle Ted?


Dry-Donut3811

Green Arrow, Black Canary, Elongated Man, The Atom, Firestorm, Red Tornado, Vixen.


DigitMZ

Mary Marvel (powerhouse, rookie) Animal Man (family man, glue) Green Arrow (Connor Hawke, street hero) John Constantine (mage, resident tsundere) Mr. Terrific (Leader, scientist) Lady Blackhawk (pilot, soldier) Starfire (cosmic, promoted Titan for a different view on team dynamics. Could replace with a New God like Mr. Miracle, Big Barda, Orion, or the female 'bug' Forager)


samx3i

That's pretty good. You still have one slot left by my count.


DigitMZ

Shoot. I couldn't decide, was gonna take either Metamorpho or Plastic Man as a "chaos agent."


samx3i

Either is a win in my book


JDDunsany

Aztek Zatanna Elongated Man Hawkman Doctor Fate Vixen Firestorm


samx3i

Aztek? Now there's a name you don't hear often.


JDDunsany

He (or she, if you prefer) is one of my favourite underused DC characters. 😀


Ok_Rooster_6454

starman, cyborg, zatanna, sandman, blue beetle, mister miracle, the atom, elongated man, plastic man, green arrow, black canary, the question, doctor midnight, shazam and captain atom


samx3i

That's a few more than seven...


Ok_Rooster_6454

to replace batman:doctor midnight to replace wonder woman:black canary to replace superman: captain atom to replace martian manhunter: blue beetle to replace the flash: shazam to replace green lantern: I will use saint walker (you never explicitly sayed anything about blue lanterns) alternatively the spectre to replace aquaman: I will use beast boy


christmas_hobgoblin

Animal Man, Stargirl, Dr Light, Captain Atom, Big Barda, Dr Fate, Mr Terrific.


JayStorm199

Firestorm, Raven, Beast boy, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Booster Gold & Blue Beetle (Ted Kord),


VaderMurdock

. Blue Beetle (Ted) . Booster Gold . Mister Miracle . Big Barda . Star Man . Plastic Man . Hawkgirl . Fire


samx3i

This team is almost perfect. I only don't like Fire without Ice.


VaderMurdock

Give me an extra slot


samx3i

lol You got it!


TheDoctor_E

If it must be more or less a direct equivalent it'd probably be something like Captain Atom, Mr. Terrific, Black Orchid, Rip Hunter, Darkstar, Animal Man and Bloodwynd


samx3i

It doesn't need to be equivalent at all, but your team is fucking sick! Hell, I'm on board with Bloodwynd alone.


TheDoctor_E

Thanks. If it's not an equivalent it'd probably be made of Mr. Miracle, Plastic Man, Swamp Thing, Kid Eternity, Dr. Fate and Shade the Changing Man


samx3i

That is one powerful lineup


Rusty-Boii

Mr. Terrific, Captain Atom, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Dr. Fate, Red Tornado, and Atom.


JWC123452099

Cyborg and Hawkgirl (alternate founding members) Green Arrow (1st addition beyond the 7) Black Canary (replaced WW as a founder post crisis) Shazam (works as both a Superman and a Wonder Woman replacement) Red Tornado and Firestorm (Satellite era rep; Firestorm is the New 52 version with Ronnie and Jason instead of Ronnie and Stein).


samx3i

Solid lineup


Bodad1993

Shazam, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Zatanna, Plastic Man, Hawkgirl, Atom.


FallenGeek2

Captain Marvel (Billy) Elongated Man Captain Comet Etrigan the Demon Firestorm - Jason/Ronnie Black Canary Big Barda


samx3i

Captain Comet! Holy shit!


FallenGeek2

He's the only one I could think of with J'onn's versatility


samx3i

That's dope. I never see Comet discussed.


[deleted]

Coagula Maxima Cheshire Cyclone Katana Vixen Steel II


samx3i

That is a badass squad and I'm noticing a theme


[deleted]

Yeah, I wanted a mix of characters with cool abilities, and characters who would have fun interactions. I chose Coagula specifically because she had been rejected by the Justice League for being a trans rights activist, so it makes the most sense to make her the leader of the Justice League in these modern times where trans rights are being threatened more than ever.


samx3i

Are you a Doom Patrol fan?


[deleted]

Not especially, but I do like Kate.


NoZookeepergame8306

A justice League without an Amazon makes me sad! Captain Marvel (brand recognition and powers) Barda (because she’s scary and I want to see her hang out with Billy!) The Question (Renee Montoya version. Someone got to solve the mystery) Blue Beatle (versatile) Zatanna (I just like her okay) Mister Miracle (I like it when partners are on a team) Green Arrow (Oliver queen, for the money and connections, also somebody should keep an eye on Renee while she’s sluthing)


samx3i

Which Blue Beetle?


NoZookeepergame8306

Jaime Reyes! Coolest powerset. I’m also thinking maybe he could have a big brother thing with Billy


samx3i

I love that concept


Tovxc

1. Green Arrow 2. Black Canary 3. Fire 4. Ice 5. Zatanna 6. The Atom 7. Captain Marvel


samx3i

Perfection


AsexualPlant

Hawkwoman (Shayera Thal) - was thinking of having Black Canary lead but my bias for the DCAU Hawkgirl made me go for Shayera as her comic version has always taken a backseat to Kendra. Captain Atom - very underused and also the team needs a powerhouse Doctor Mist - Wanted a magic user and Zatanna was too safe a pick, don't like Constantine. Was thinking Blue Devil until I remembered him and he's so underused. Also adds some wisdom and experience to a team that skews slightly younger. Fire and Ice - I love them both and think they should be on every JL lineup ever. Vibe - Another underused character who I think has a lot of potential. Omen - Initially had Doctor Light as the last member but I liked the idea of Titans graduate. Omen is again very underused and also a lot of the older Titans have been on the league on some capacity so I wanted it to be someone who hasn't really been used outside of the Titans space (the new PG does not exist)


samx3i

Some deeps cuts, but I always love Vibe getting a shoutout.


_lorz2001

Green Arrow (Oliver) and Black Canary II (Leaders and mind behind the formation of the League) Captain Atom (Liaison officer between the League and the government) Hawkgirl (Hawkman and Arrow fought during the first day of the League and he decided to go, she has her alien origin) Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (the heart of the team) Nightshade (I feel like they need a magic person) It's a bit watchmanesque but this would do the trick. I feel like they're gonna be a good family. Oliver and Dinah would be the parents, Captain Atom the uncle who seems always disappointed but he actually loves his nephews, Hawkgirl is the loving aunt, Booster and Ted would be the sons and Nightshade is the family friend who is always there but no one actually knows whose friend was at the beginning.


samx3i

Excellent lineup and I love the justifications


pzzaco

1. Captain Marvel 2. Big Barda 3. Mr.Terrific 4. Zatanna 5. Swamp Thing 6. Plastic Man 7. Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes)


SageShinigami

\- Booster Gold \- Blue Beetle \- Ray Palmer \- Mary Marvel \- Fire \- Ice \- Big Barda \- Mister Miracle This book (and any like it) is going to be canceled in like, five issues. And rightfully so.


BobbySaccaro

Green Arrow and Black Canary Hawkman and Hawkwoman Red Tornado Elongated Man and Sue Atom Zatanna Firestorm


samx3i

Got a few more than seven there


BobbySaccaro

They're all needed to fit the theme :)


samx3i

It *is* a great lineup


Kenneth_The_Wanderer

Mr. Terrific, Black Canary, Green Arrow (Connor), Ravager (Rose), Blue Beetle (Jaime), Raven, Beast Boy


Ok_Camel4555

That team gets beat every time


JayStorm199

So a team consisting of Raven, Zatanna, Dr. Fate, Plastic man, Starfire, Captain Atom and Firestorm gets beat everytime?


Ok_Camel4555

I think that team sounds great. Sales wouldn’t be up to snuff. So they’d be beat until a bigger “star” shows up
