Another person posting six choices in a "Five most favorite" thread.

The school systems across the world must really be failing us . . .

Jade was a member of Justice Society INFINITY, when PG was searching for her roots, finally found "Earth 2", but learned there already WAS a PG on that Earth...making her a relic from pre-COIE. JSInfinity had looped in all the Infinitors as JSA members or some such.

Now whether you count the JSI roster as valid for the JSA is a different story entirely.

If we're talking the JSA and not going into alternate Earth/alternate timeline versions, then I don't count it. That was why I specifically worded that answer as

Here's a new top 5 from me with very restrictive rules so I could come up with a list so short. Would love it if there were a thread for perfect 10-12 member roster like there is for Justice League.

The rules I imposed on myself: I included ONLY Golden Age characters but eliminated any character that was successfully reimagined with a new ID during the Silver Age. That meant eliminating Flash, GL, Hawkman, Atom, Black Canary, which is a total foul. Still, the only way I could get it down to 5. And even with those rules I had to leave off some real favorites in Wildcat, Mr. Terrific, and Johnny Thunder. Not to mention the Spectre whom I liked a lot better with Golden Age JSA than I have in more modern incarnations.

The characters I wound up choosing also inspired legacies but not during the era that introduced Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Katar Hol, Ray Palmer, etc. Basically I left off the characters that had JLA analogs.

Here's my top 5 list after I put all those rules on myself...

Dr. Mid-Nite (Charles McNider)
Hourman (Rex Taylor)
Sandman (Wesley Dodds)
Starman (Ted Knight)
Dr. Fate (Kent Nelson)

**SelinaK12** · 10-24-2018, 05:15 PM

Captain Marvel/Shazam (Billy Batson)
Stargirl (Courtney Whitmore)
Doctor Midnite (Pieter Cross)
Wildcat (Ted Grant)
Mr.Terrific(Micheal Holt)

**MajorHoy** · 02-19-2021, 02:41 PM

My list would change from time to time, depending on my mood, but at the moment I'll go with:

(Golden Age) Black Canary (Dinah Drake Lance)
Dr. Mid-Nite (Charles McNider)
Flash (Jay Garrick)
Sandman (Wesley Dodds)
Wildcat (Ted Grant)

Though if we had a few more options, I'd probably add in Huntress (Helena Wayne), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Hawkman (Carter Hall), Hourman (Rex Tyler), . . .

If there was a 6 and 7 they would be Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl and pre nu53 Holt/Mr. Terrific.

**Robanker** · 02-19-2021, 09:45 PM

1. Karen Starr/Power Girl.

3. Alan Scott/Green Lantern

This is where it hurts.

4. Carter Hall/Hawkman
5. Pieter Cross/Dr. Mid-Nite

Honorable Mention (by a hair):

6. Michael Holt/Mister Terrific.

1 & 2 Jay & Alan
3 Power Girl
4 Stargirl
5 Wildcat

If they can stick the landing with Wonder Woman, she'd be in there as well, but it's too early to tell if they can make that work yet.
