Sinestro never made sense to me with an Earth-based team like this, TBH.
Black Manta for sure.
"There's magic in the sound of analog audio." - CNET.
The absolutely essentials:
Luthor
Scarecrow
Cheetah
Black Manta
Sinestro
Grodd
With the following making the group a real threat:
Brainiac
Bizarro
Toyman
Riddler
Giganta
Solomon Grundy
Captain Cold
And for good measure:
Gentleman Ghost
Floronic Man
Felix Faust
Count Vertigo
Currently(or soon to be) Reading: Absolute Power, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Birds of Prey, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Justice Society of America, Shazam, Titans, & Wonder Woman.
Legion of Doom should be the arch nemesis' of all the main JLA
So you have
Luthor
Joker
Reverse Flash/Grodd/Etc
Black Manta
Cheetah/Giganta/Circe
Sinestro
basically any villains who will work together and conceivably give the JLA trouble together
Pretty much everyone from the Challenge of the Super Friends cartoon.
Honestly agree with this not mention the level of pride and arrogance he has.
I’d question it with Manta and Cheetah as well but given how Snyder wrote them in his JL run it made sense. They were their to serve their own interest and are using the group to their own agendas. Which Lex ofcourse understands. So it doesn’t downplay any of them.
I don’t think it necessarily should be archenemies but I do think it should be characters that pose a threat and make sense to be on the team
Lex Luthor
Brainiac
Black Manta
Reverse Flash
Joker
Sinestro
Cheetah
Bizzaro
Gorilla Grodd
Penguin
Riddler
Killer Frost
Hm. Key.
You want some major enemies of as many individual JL members as possible. Most of them have at least one, some have several. Exactly who really doesn't matter unless you want to be faithful to the toon (which, I admit, I love).
Key, however, is probably a matter of who could assemble and propel such an organization. Further, such a council should be rife with scheming to use and betray each other, each with potential to pull their individual scheme off against the others. So:
- Black Adam
- Brainiac
- Grodd
- Luthor
- Queen Bee
- Ras al Ghul
