List of Justice Society of America members

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Justice Society of America is a team of comic book superheroes published by DC Comics.

JSA members are listed here only once—in order of their first joining the team. Retconned members are listed only where they historically took part in the stories.

Note: In the wake of DC Comics' Flashpoint event, the history of the JSA was rebooted. Many of the characters were reintroduced with new histories while others were erased from existence. Their history was later restored (with minor changes) by the events of Doomsday Clock. Characters' last known status is listed below. An alternate version of the team appears in the New 52 series Earth-2.

Courtney later takes the name Stargirl.
