The Justice League of America serves as protection to the citizens of the world protecting them from their worst villainous nightmares. The original Justice League, created by DC Comics, consists of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter. These diverse heroes band together on various occasions rare occasions to fight unimaginable threats to massive for one hero. The JLA first appeared in 1960 (Brave and the Bold) to battle the starfish-like alien, Starro the Conqueror. After defeating the menacing alien and his deputies the heroes decided to keep within reach of each other for future catastrophe.

I chose this topic because nowadays Marvel comics are more popular than DC comics, and I thought it would be interesting to learn about the famous heroes that started it all. I wanted to learn more about some of the first superheroes that became famous. Obviously Superman and Batman are legends still, but I felt that the stories of the other members needed to be told, and I myself, hadn't ever even heard of Martian Manhunter
