Challenge of the Untouchable Aliens!

Justice League of America #15

November 1962

In a Nutshell

A parallel world is merging with Earth, threatening to destroy both worlds. Stone giants from this other Earth have decided the easiest solution is to blow up our cities. Green Lantern counters with the suggestion that they just fix the problem instead.

Roll Call

Pretty much the whole gang roles out to combat the Stone Giants’ attempts to destroy several of Earth’s cities.

  • Superman and Wonder Woman are on hand to rescue the crew of the experimental Sky Fortress, which is being torn apart by invisible aliens stealing its Atomic Cannon.
  • The Flash rescues the staff of an office building that has been targeted by the stolen cannon.
  • The Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow and Aquaman prevent one of the aliens from destroying Tokyo with atomic missiles, though they are unable to capture the giant.
  • Superman, Wonder Woman and the Atom destroy a machine that is raining a super-solvent down on Brasilia.
  • Green Lantern, Batman and the Flash combat aliens attacking Central City with an earthquake machine, but GL is the only one who accomplishes anything. In addition to destroying the earthquake machine, the Emerald Gladiator also fixes the problem of the merging Earths.
  • Snapper Carr remains back at JLA headquarters, and isn’t happy about it.

The Scorecard

Batman and Snapper Carr are both useless this issue. Everyone else makes a contribution, so overall standings remain the same.

Outcasts of Infinity!

Justice League of America #25 February 1964 In a Nutshell Kraad the Conqueror is bored. He has discovered that teleporting a trio of alien scientists to random planets is hilarious, and the fact that those planets later blow up as a result of his pranks only adds to the fun. Fully half the Justice League disagree. Roll Call We appear to be entering a new era here, as this is the first issue where only a small subset of the League shows up for the mission. In this case, it is Superman , Wonder Woman , the Flash , Green Lantern and the Atom who are attending the regular JLA meeting. Batman and Aquaman are said to send their regrets, while Green Arrow , the Martian Manhunter and Snapper Carr get the “and the rest” treatment. The five participating members all contribute to Kraad’s capture, even when handicapped by an untimely swap of body parts. But it’s the Atom I would like to focus on here, as we’re seeing an odd trend emerge. This is the third time in the twelve issues since he ...

The Super-Exiles of Earth!

Image
Justice League of America #19 May 1963 In a Nutshell Doctor Destiny creates evil dream duplicates of the Justice League, and the real JLA are framed for their crimes. Exiled from Earth, the real Leaguers are forced to seek answers in their civilian identities. This issue shows the first instance of the Leaguers learn each others’ secret identities, but that knowledge is undone at the story’s end. Roll Call The first half of this book involves the Leaguers getting their hindmosts handed to them by their dream duplicates. Chapter 3 begins with them trapped in a prison deep within the Earth.  Oliver Queen offers the idea to use their combined will power on Hal Jordan’s ring to overcome the evil Green Lantern’s trap. Diana Prince suggests they could disorient the dream duplicates, causing them to lose control of their bodies. Ray Palmer suggests he could shrink down and, aided by John Jones’ Martian breath, enter the duplicates’ brains to perform impromptu lobotomies. Superman us...

Challenge of the Weapons Master!

Image
The Brave and the Bold #29 April 1960 In a Nutshell Xotar, a criminal from the 120th century, travels 10,000 years into the past just to pick a fight with the Justice League. Once he learns which of his awesome future weapons can defeat the JLA, Xotar can return to his own time to battle the Intersolar Police. This turns out to be a bad plan. As a rule, I’m not fond of stories where the good guys are just responding to a direct attack by the bad guys. I like my heroes to be proactive. To capture my interest, our heroes have to be voluntarily putting themselves at risk to help others. When all they’re doing is defending themselves, it’s hard to argue that they’re really making a contribution. And of course, contribution is what this blog is all about. In the JLA’s battle with the Weapons Master, we have two choices. We can either say that everyone contributed, or that no one did. It’s perfectly valid to note that, if the JLA did not exist, there would be no threat here. So my first incl...
