When I first started making my own DC universe I didn't realize just how much DC has erased and ignored the time between the JSA disbanding and the JLA forming, like they really try to sell that the league is the starting point for the "modern age" when in reality there's barely even a gap between the time superheroes stopped operating and the new guys coming in.

For starters I don't think you can put the JLA forming any later than 1990-1991 because these people are OLD so this gives you an 40 year gap to play with considering that the JSA disbanded in 1951.

Here's a list of teams that have operated during that time:

• freedom brigade

• inferior five (depending on if you consider the freedom brigade being formed in the 40s or the 60s)

• justice experience

• infinity inc (there's NO WAY those fuckers are peers with the teen titans)

• squadron of justice

Even when the JSA and the All-star squadron disbanded most of them still operated as usual.

While I'm at it I would also like to note that there were other heroes before 1938, the old west vigilantes are pretty cool and there have been heroes here and there through the centuries.

Comic Book Review: DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #22: Secret Origins of Super-Heroes

Comic Book Review: DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #22: Secret Origins of Super-Heroes edited by E. Nelson Bridwell “Secret origins” are a big part of the superhero genre. Since, back in the day, most superheroes had secret identities, just how exactly they’d come to gain powers or the motivation to fight crime was also a secret to the public. But we readers got to be in on the secret, creating a…

Jax is a weeb. Jax is a weeb and we're not saying anything about this??? Bro has the same mentality of that one kid in school who bullied you for being cringe because they were ALREADY CONSIDERED CRINGE and thought they could climb the ladder but in reality they were still cringe to everyone else

Jax is a COMIC ARTIST who will read manga and webcomics, which are considered nerd hobbies that get you bullied, and be like "eww kinger likes bugs and you all show emotions" this doesn't compensate for the body pillow in your closet dude. Just chill the fuck out

I love the five oddballs and I feel like an underrated part of their character is how they comment upon how society treats talented beings and the dangers of placing someone so talented on a pedestal. The isolation the Oddballs felt from others, especially the OG three oddballs, and their arcs relating to humanity is one of the most intriguing aspects of this game’s writing
