The Justice Society of America was the 1st super team in the DCU. Currently, they are a large group of crime-fighters that are protecting and rebuilding Monument Point following a catastrophic battle. The emphasis here is on training and preparing the next generation of heroes.
The Justice Society of America was founded in 1940 after several super-heroes saved the life of President Franklin D Roosevelt. Eight of the world's greatest heroes all banded together to stop Adolf Hitler's invasion of Britain and to protect President Roosevelt from a group of Valkyries summoned by Hitler.
These heroes were Green Lantern (Alan Scott), the Flash (Jay Garrick), the Spectre (Jim Corrigan), Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson), Hourman (Rex Tyler), the Sandman (Wesley Dodds), the Atom (Al Pratt) and Hawkman.
When US involvement in WW II seemed inevitable, President Roosevelt suggested that these costumed heroes band together as a team to defend US shores. The costumed heroes agreed to be this team to fight the Axis powers. Superman and Batman were also honorary members of the JSA.
