Conner Kent // Superboy | The clone of Superman and Lex Luthor, Conner had rocky beginnings as he tried to come to terms with the reality of his existence. Under Superman’s reluctant (but soon, welcoming) guidance, he joined the second iteration of the Teen Titans, striking up a close friendship with Tim Drake, the third Robin, and a romantic relationship with Cassie Sandsmark: Wonder Girl. After the team disbanded, Conner set his sights on protecting Metropolis. Impressed with his progress, Batman consulted with Superman, and asked Conner to lead the Young Justice Initiative. Accepting out of respect for his mentor, he struggles to convince himself that he is worthy or capable of the role.
Andrew Grant "Andy" Hughes // Hellfire | A near-literal human sun, Andy moved to Gotham City with his dad after the death of his infant brother and his parents’ messy divorce. Ever since his metahuman gene activated, he was placed under Batman’s keen surveillance; observing Andy’s enthusiastic vigilantism despite his lack of training, the Dark Knight decided to give the Australian teen the tools he required to control his powers and stay alive on the streets. Under the guise of Hellfire, Andy now uses his solar abilities to fight crime – a sentence he never dreamed would apply to him – and yet, here he is.
Magnus Boyle // Fenrir | Magnus was born different, his development stunted by a biology that seemed too animal for a human. His parents, loving and concerned, sought to help him as best they can, enlisting the help of an eager doctor… who later disappeared, along with their son, any records of his existence gone. Over the years since his disappearance, Magnus’ condition developed, gifting (cursing?) him with the ability to transform into The Beast, a wolf-like monstrosity great savagery and strength. After meeting Hawkwoman, he was given the opportunity to train and thereby tame himself. Now a part of the Young Justice Initiative, his progress remains to be seen.
Tachyus // Quickling | The son of Hermes, Tachyus is a demigod, born in Metropolis to a mortal woman and raised in Themyscira, circumstances resultant of the compromise Hermes came to with his father, Zeus. Growing up among the Amazons, Tachyus was taught as they would be, learning the ways of combat, the arts and academics under their keen tutelage. The source of his speed, the Godspeed, manifested when he was ten, and from then on there could be absolutely no doubt that he was his father’s son. Mentored by Wonder Woman herself, he yearned to accompany her on a mission with the Justice League, only to be denied time and time again. As a member of the Young Justice Initiative, he now has the opportunity to prove himself to the world’s greatest heroes.
Juno Imako Hoshi // Twilight | The daughter of Dr. Light (Kimiyo Hoshi), Juno has excelled academically and socially since she was a little girl, making the most of her inherited photokinetic powers and enrolment at the Corrigan School for the Gifted to pave her way to the Justice League. With positive media coverage, public support and plenty of successes, it seemed as if Juno’s dream would soon be a reality; however, a vengeful attack on Intergang after her brother was caught in their crosshairs seemed to dash that hope, the League hesitant to add her to their ranks. The Young Justice Initiative seems to be her best shot at redemption.
Stephanie Brown // Batgirl | ---
Kassandra "Kassy" Keigwan // Mirage | An Atlantean, Kassy was born with the rare ability to wield illusion magic. Considered dangerous in Atlantean society, with a severe stigma surrounding it, Kassy’s family never stayed in one place for long, moving from place to place until Kass was eight, when her mother passed away. Given to her aunt by her grieving father, Kassy was mistreated by her, and honed her abilities in secret. After years of enduring her aunt’s abuse, Kassy ran away, finding herself in Atlantis – where her powers saw her feared and shunned by the locals. Taken to King Arthur himself, he offered her the chance to make something of herself, eventually volunteering her for the Young Justice Initiative. She’s unsure of her place there.

Oliver Queen // Green Arrow | Fifties. The first Green Arrow, Oliver Queen has retired from his vigilante role a few years ago, handing the mantle down to his son, Connor. Spending the majority of his time at City Hall in Star City, Oliver now juggles his responsibilities with acting as the Team’s liaison and caretaker, a role he shares with his wife, Dinah Lance-Queen.
Dinah Laurel Lance-Queen // Black Canary | Late forties. The second Black Canary, Dinah has had a long and eventful career as a vigilante, having fought street crime and supervillains, helped repel alien invasions, and fallen in love. Like Oliver, she’s retired from superheroics, handing the role down to their ward, Mia Dearden. Between managing the Sherwood Florist and occasionally catching up with Barbara Gordon and the other Birds of Prey, she has plenty of time to devote to the Team, taking her role as their den mother very seriously.

T H E J U S T I C E L E A G U E
Since its inception, the Justice League has grown into a gigantic organisation with upwards of one hundred active members. However, there remains a core group of heroes who keep the machine running smoothly, and they are as follows:
Clark Kent // Superman | The Man of Tomorrow, Clark Kent hasn’t aged a day past thirty. Remaining as valiant a protector of the world as he ever was, Superman is the hero all others strive to be. Living with his wife, Lois, and their son, Jon (15), in a farm a half hour’s drive from Metropolis, he maintains a healthy balance between being Clark Kent, journalist and father, and Superman, champion of Metropolis and the world – a balance that his fellow Leaguers would give anything to have. He is fifty years old.
Bruce Wayne // Batman | Mid-fifties. Although Superman’s Kryptonian physiology will see him living for centuries more, the Dark Knight has no such luck. Man’s mortality is a delicate thing, and Bruce has been balancing on its thin rope for almost thirty years now. Still active as Batman, he is aware of his fragility in the face of Clark’s invulnerability and Wally’s highly accelerated healing factor, the injuries he’s accumulated over the passing decades beginning to take their toll. A very active Leaguer in the past, Bruce has reluctantly taken a position as the League’s tactician, acting from behind the scenes. The Batman remains a very real presence in Gotham.
Diana of Themyscira // Wonder Woman | The princess of Themyscira is as compassionate, determined and headstrong as she was when she first set foot in Man’s World in World War Two. Her immortal, century-old demigoddess genes have served her well – she is one of the League’s most passionate senior members, ever set on protecting life on Earth.
Wallace "Wally" West // The Flash | Mid-thirties. The third Flash, Wally became the Scarlet Speedster after his mentor and uncle, Barry Allen, disappeared into the Speed Force… and once again after Barry returned, only to retire in order to be with his family (his wife, Iris, and children, Don and Dawn). Living in Keystone City, Wally has a family of his own in Linda Park and their twins, Jai and Iris, the latter of which inherited his speed.
Richard "Dick" Grayson // Nightwing | Mid-thirties. The first Robin and only Nightwing, Dick has well and truly grown into his own identity. Even though Bruce would never admit to anyone but himself, Nightwing is who the Batman should have always been, and he couldn’t be prouder of his adopted son. Dick has proven to be an invaluable member of the Justice League, and is married to Barbara Gordon, formerly Batgirl and currently the captain of the GCPD’s Central Precinct.
Arthur Curry // Aquaman | Fifties. Having retired from superheroics in order to focus his full attention at governing Atlantis, Arthur is now an honorary member of the League, maintaining frequent contact, and an openness on developments in Atlantis, with his former colleagues. He still plays an important part in the League’s decision-making process, often consulted with; he is a strategist on par with Wonder Woman, and the other heroes know better than to leave that attribute to waste.
Kaldur’ahm // Aquaman (II) | Running a kingdom is no easy task. Running a kingdom while also serving as the bridge between two drastically different cultures and serving as the an active member of the Justice League is nigh on impossible. And yet, for over two decades that’s exactly what Arthur Curry, the first Aquaman, did. However after his half-brother, Orm Marius, lead a revolt in a bid for the throne, Arthur realised that he could no longer afford to split his time or attention. He had to retire from active superheroics if he wanted to continue leading Atlantis into the future. Fortunately he was no longer the only Atlantean who was willing to protect both the surface and the sunken worlds. He passed the role of Aquaman to his ward, Kaldur’ahm, who had long ago proved his credentials for the position as the teen hero, Aqualad. That was over three years ago now, and Kaldur has been a valued member of the League ever since. Mid-thirties.
Hal Jordan // Green Lantern | Fifties. The most senior Green Lantern operating within Sector 2814, Hal tends to focus his time on Earth these days, letting Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz handle the more intergalactic problems that plague their jurisdiction. To put it into Earth police terms: between Hal and John Stewart, they tend to act as the Sector 2814 precinct’s captains, with Kyle acting as sergeant and Simon and Jessica on the detective squad. This allows Hal to do what he never could in his early days as a Lantern: to settle down with Carol, and prioritise his planet over the Guardians. The Team should expect to see much of him at the Sanctuary – his best pal is their caretaker, after all.
Shayera Hol // Hawkwoman | Is Shayera Hol a Thanagarian peace-keeper stranded on earth or the reincarnated form of an ancient Egyptian warrior-princess? Nobody knows, not even Shayera herself. Memories of growing to womanhood on the far-off planet of Thanagar seem to war with those of her past lives on earth. However, rather than let his crisis of self consume her Shayera has pragmatically decided to live the life she has now instead of worrying about maybes. What she can be sure of is that for the last twenty years she has served as Hawkwoman, St. Roch’s winged wonder. Late forties.
Victor Stone // Cyborg | Late thirties. Both a founding member of the Justice League, and an integral part of the Teen Titans, Vic Stone is one of the most experienced heroes on the planet. Half-man and half-machine, Cyborg has long since come to terms with dichotomy of his existence, no longer the angst-ridden young man he once was. However he has traded his old issues for new ones, specifically an inability to ‘clock off.’ If he’s not on League business then he’s either manning their orbital Watchtower or assisting S.T.A.R. Labs with their research, rarely, if ever, taking any time for himself. While his work/life imbalance has begun to worry those closest to him, world security has certainly benefited from Stone’s dedication.
Dr Ryan Choi // The Atom (III) | Late thirties. Ryan is actually the third hero to wear the mantle of the Atom – after Al Pratt and Ray Palmer before him – and he has worked tirelessly to honour the role. A professor of physics at the prestigious Ivy University, Ryan splits his time between moulding the great minds of tomorrow, and assisting the hero community with any super-science quandaries they might find themselves confronted with. While not as active in his role as a vigilante as the likes of Nightwing or the Flash, his scientific expertise gives him a skillset that is invaluable to the League, and he never shirks his duty when a crisis looms. Married to one of Wonder Woman’s former nemeses, the size-shifting Giganta.
Zatanna Zatarra // Zatanna | Late forties. The former leader of the now disbanded Justice League Dark prefers the stage to the streets these days, happy to let her cousin, Zachary Zatarra, deal with the garden variety mystical threats that occur near daily. However when a threat too big for a single magician to handle rears its head she’s still more than ready to lend a hand, and so still retains her honorary League membership.
Mari Jiwe McCabe // Vixen | Early forties. Entrepreneur. Activist. Philanthropist. There’s few things that Mari McCabe has turned her hands to that she hasn’t excelled at. Superheroine was no exception. Using the power of the magical Tantu Totem, said to be a gift from Anansi himself, she had fought for the betterment of all, and takes particular interest in the plight of the socially disenfranchised. Over her ten year career she has been a member of the Justice League, the Justice League International, and, as rumours would have it, the Suicide Squad. Whether those rumours are true or not, one thing is for sure: Vixen has earned her place on the League.
Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch // Firestorm | Late twenties. Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch weren’t always the two halves that made up Firestorm. Ronnie was an original half – as a teen, by pure happenstance, he was present for an accident that would bond him to Professor Martin Stein, changing them into the Nuclear Man. After several years as the hero, Firestorm, Ronnie and Stein agreed to go their separate ways, Ronnie focusing on his adult life. Stein wouldn’t go without a partner for long, though; Jason Rusch was touched by the Firestorm Matrix, and the two would later debut as the second Firestorm. Stein died three years later in a confrontation with Multiplex. Feeling guilt and an obligation to continue his legacy, Jason sought out Ronnie, who agreed to become Firestorm once more. Their membership in the Justice League is justified and well-deserved, their efforts as Firestorm distinguishing them as pure-hearted, noble heroes.
Billy Batson // Captain Marvel | Mid twenties. Billy Batson has been Shazam’s champion for over fifteen years now. As an adult, he looks identical to the man he transforms into when uttering the wizard’s name, and he’s grown into a fantastic hero, his years of experience promising to cement him as one of the greats. He’s a valued member of the League, retaining a loveable charm that’s matured since he first got his powers.
Bruce Wayne // Batman | Mid-fifties. Although Superman’s Kryptonian physiology will see him living for centuries more, the Dark Knight has no such luck. Man’s mortality is a delicate thing, and Bruce has been balancing on its thin rope for almost thirty years now. Still active as Batman, he is aware of his fragility in the face of Clark’s invulnerability and Wally’s highly accelerated healing factor, the injuries he’s accumulated over the passing decades beginning to take their toll.
