Justice League

The DC Universe's premiere Silver Age superhero team, the Justice League is seen as the DCU's greatest gathering of heroes, be they well known icons like Superman or Batman, or lesser known ones, like Black Lightning or Firestorm.

Origin
The JL has had numerous origins over the years. The following is the origin presented in the New 52: While both investigating strange activity in Gotham City, Batman and Green Lantern encountered one of Darkseid's parademons, the two headed to Metopolis to speak with Superman and learn if he knew anything about this. After a...."skirmish" with the Action Ace, which was only quelled with the aid of the Flash, the quartet was attacked by more Parademons, only to be helped by Wonder Woman. Soon joined by Aquaman and newcomer Cyborg, the seven heroes came face to face with Darkseid himself and foiled his invasion. Uniting as a single team, the Justice League continues to battle the foes no single heroes in the DCU can face alone, such as Amazo, Starro, Felix Faust, and the Secret Society of Super Villains.
