JSA/Justice Society of America Poll: favorite members (from 1999-2008)

[MajorHoy]

Not too much change in the numbers from last month:

* Liberty Belle II/Jessie Quick (Jesse Chambers) = 17 votes (+1)
* Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt) = 15 votes (+3)
* Cyclone (Maxine Hunkel) = 13 votes (+4)
* Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders) = 12 votes (+2)
* Star-Spangled Kid / Stargirl (Coutney Whitmore) = 12 votes (+3)
* Hourman II (Rick Tyler) = 10 votes (+1)
* Black Canary II (Dinah Lance) = 10 votes (+2)

All others each have less than 10 votes at present.

NOTE: Before anybody goes and complains about who is and isn't listed for this poll, go back and read the Original Post.

Voted for everybody except Wildcat II, Damage and E22 Superman. I don't hate them but nothing really struck me during their JSA appearances.

Damn, Mister Terrific really sweeps in the polls huh? Not that I mind at all

I really liked Tomcat and his father/son dynamic with Ted, so I voted for him.

I wonder what will happen to characters like Tom and Pieter now that Beth and Yolanda are back (as seen in Doomsday Clock). Then again, it's not like the Society is especially picky. Coexistence and cooperation between legacies is a big thing over there.

I actually loved the original 1999 lineup that James Robinson and David Goyer put together: Sentinel, Flash, Hippolyta, Wildcat, Black Canary, Starman (Jack Knight), Atom Smasher, Hourman (android), Dr. Fate (Hector Hall), Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders), and Star Spangled Kid. Dr. Midnight and Mr. Terrific were nice additions as well.

Unfortunately, by issue #15, Geoff Johns ushered a lot of these characters out.

Hector Hall was Doctor Fate.

Hank Hall was "The Hawk" (as in the original Hawk & Dove), and later was the villain "Monarch" and later "Extant". (But he eventually died and got over that.)

Happy to see that Cyclone is doing well in the poll

Thanks, MajorHoy. Yeah, there are so many Halls in the DC Universe that I sometimes lose track. Fixed in my thread. Thanks again.

Kind of ironic. The five poll leaders (at this point) are legacies of people that were never officially JSA members* except for Mr. Terrific, who had only one canonical appearance.

*during the classic team's original All-Star Comics continuity.

Jack Knight's membership was always going to be short-lived as per Robinson's plans for him in his own book. Whatever my problems with Robinson's later work, I'm glad nobody got around to (or was allowed?) to ruining Jack Knight's well-earned retirement.

I thought the rest stayed in the book longer than #15?

A lot of them did. Although Dr. Fate leaves in this issue, he does make future appearances. However, Hippolyta, the android Hourman, and Jack Knight leave for good. Black Canary would stay through #25 and then she would leave.

But there was something special about that early team that I loved. It was a shame it didn't last very long.

What happen to Powergirl?

From the OP.

NOTE: This poll is formed by taking the top vote getters from each of my previous two polls...The members listed on each of those polls were only those who first became members of the Justice Society of America between 1999 and 2008...

PG became a member way back in the 1970s, so wasn't eligible for this poll.

[Will Evans]

Let’s just say they announce a new JSA next month.

And must have at least one new team member.


Who would you have join? Which legacies?

Why only one? The appeal of JSA for me and many others was that it was that it had different generations interacting and working together.
