Superman - one of the world's favorite superheroes, Superman comes from the lost planet of Krypton. He has incredible strength, the ability to fly and different other powers, such as x-ray eyes. Superman is the natural leader of the Justice League.

Batman - while he has no superpowers, Batman more than makes up for this with his sharp intuition, brilliant intelligence and a combination of acrobatic and technological aids that make him one of the most efficient Justice League members. Batman rarely joins missions "out in the open" and prefers to aid the League from the shadows.

Wonder Woman - born as a princess on her native planet of Themiscyra, she still has an aristocratic presence. Her powers include superhuman strength and speed, plus the ability to fly. Her delicate physical appearance should not be a reason for underestimating Wonder Woman - she can fight side by side with any of the Justice League members.

The Flash - the fastest creature on Earth, the Flash can move at the speed of light, a gift that makes him extremely efficient in fighting crime together with the other Justice League characters.

Green Lantern - as part of the intergalactic space organization, the Green Lantern Corps, John Stewart has a special ring which he uses to project laser-like beams and create force fields. He is trained as a soldier and has the tactical sense that supports many of the Justice League's strategies.

Hawkgirl - born on Thanagar, Hawkgirl has the ability to fly and is skilled in close combat techniques. She can also communicate with birds and has a heightened sense of intuition and amazing observational skills.

Martian Manhunter - as the only survivor of an ancient Martian race, J'Onn J'Onzz is a skilled telepath. His versatile shape shifting powers recommend him as an excellent ally for the other Justice League characters.
