- This is a retelling of the Justice Society of America's origin.
Synopsis: - The Justice Society of America was the world's first superhero team, forged during World War II. They retired in the 1950's after congress hearings where they were asked to reveal their secret identities, but came out of retirement when summoned by their modern-day successors, the Justice League of America. Their purpose renewed after World War III, founding members Wildcat, the Flash and Green Lantern have now decicated themselves to the recruitment and training of the next generation of heroes.
