    Wonder Woman. After her, probably Black Canary and Dr. Fate of those on that list. I dig Wildcat a lot too.

    A few more votes in the past month:
    * The Flash (Jay Garrick) = 53 votes (+1)
    * Green Lantern (Alan Scott) = 44 votes (+1)
    * Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson) = 43 votes (+1)
    * Black Canary (Dinah Drake /Dinah Drake Lance) = 38 votes (no change)
    * Dr. Mid-Nite (Charles McNider) = 33 votes (no change)
    * Hourman (Rex Tyler) = 32 votes (+2)
    * Wonder Woman (Diana Prince/Diana Prince Trevor) = 31 votes (no change)
    * The Sandman (Wesley Dodds) = 31 votes (+1)
    * Hawkman (Carter Hall) = 31 votes (+1)
    * Starman (Ted Knight) = 25 votes (+1)
    * The Spectre (Jim Corrigan) = 22 votes (no change)

    I would have thought that "Johnny Thunder (and his Thunderbolt)" might get more votes from appearing in Geoff John's (badly delayed) current series (which conveniently can be abbreviated as "DC"), but he only has 12 votes at present.

    The Spectre
    Dr. Fate
    Wonder Woman
    and Black Canary.
    Batman - Daredevil

    I'm assuming you do realize the Wonder Woman and the Black Canary aren't exactly the same people in current comic book stories?
    The Wonder Woman of the Golden Age (with the JSA in the pre-CoIE days) was a version from a different Earth, and the Golden Age Black Canary was (prior to the New52) the mother of the present-day version of Black Canary.

    I'm a little surprised that Wonder Woman ranks that low.

    It may be that Golden Age/Earth-2 Wonder Woman really wasn't as important a member of the JSA as later versions of "modern-day" Wonder Woman would become to the Justice League.
    Golden Age Wonder Woman wasn't really active in many of the early JSA adventures; she was the "recording secretary" and didn't even get her own solo chapter like the males did!
    I really enjoyed when Earth-2's Wonder Woman took over the Wonder Woman solo title (and had a solo feature in World's Finest Comics) for about a year in the 1970s, but I'm not how many JSA stories she really shined in.

    Most fans on these forums don't think it thru like that.

    The Major is one of a select few JSA fans here who take a deeper, more intense look at this franchise.
