For the third poll with members of the Justice Society, we're concentrating of those who first became members (with one on probationary status) during the 1999-2006 run of the title JSA.
Choices for this thread / poll are:

Starman (Jack Knight, son of Golden Age Starman Ted Knight)
Sand / Sandman (Sanderson "Sandy" Hawkins)
Black Canary II (Dinah Lance, daughter of Golden Age Black Canary)
Hourman III (Matthew Tyler, andriod from 853rd century)
Atom Smasher (Albert Rothstein)
Doctor Fate (Hector Hall, son of Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl)
Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders, granddaughter of Speed Saunders)
Star-Spangled Kid / Stargirl (Coutney Whitmore)
Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt)
Dr. Mid-Nite (Pieter Cross)
J.J. / Jakeem Thunder (Jakeem Williams)
Black Adam (Teth-Adam / Theo Adam; probationary)
Captain Marvel / Shazam (Billy Batson)
Hourman II (Rick Tyler, son of Golden Age Hourman)

As with previous threads / polls in this series, no limit on how many of these characters you may choose, but you might want to try and keep it to no more than, say, eight.

As for the previous threads / polls:

Justice Society Poll I: Who are your favorite Golden Age regular members?

3. Atom Smasher
4. Stargirl
5. Matthew Tyler
6. Pieter Cross
7. Michael Holt
8. Black Adam

Let it be known though that I love and adore EVERY member of this group.

Will you be doing a poll for the final batch of JSAers, MajorHoy?

[MajorHoy]

Will you be doing a poll for the final batch of JSAers, MajorHoy?

Yes and no.

There were more than 15 members added during Geoff Johns' (and other writers) fustercluck expansion in the 2006-2011 Justice Society of America run, so I'd need more than one poll for that.

[Jekyll]

Wow! This one is tough as I love this particular run and characters.

1. Jack Knight
2. Courtney Whitmore
3. Billy Batson
4. Rick Tyler
5.Hawkgirl
6. Black Canary
7. Black Adam
8. Dr. Midnight (cross)

Atom Smasher was the only one who kind of bugged me.

[MajorHoy]

FYI,

8. Dr. Midnight (cross)

Both Cross and the original (McNider) spelled it "Mid-Nite".

The only one to use the "Doctor Midnight" spelling was Beth Chapel in Infinity Inc. (She died, but I don't know if that had anything to do with how she spelled "Midnight".)

[Assam]

Yes and no.

There were more than 15 members added during Geoff Johns' (and other writers) fustercluck expansion in the 2006-2011 Justice Society of America run, so I'd need more than one poll for that.

Yeah, that massive batch of characters really is a mixed bag. From the good (Tomcat, Starman, etc.) to the bad (King Chimera, Magog, etc) to the good characters that Johns changed and MADE bad (Judomaster, Damage) to my favorite JSAer of all, Cyclone.

This was tough:

1) Sandman
2) Black Canary
3) Atom Smasher
4) Doctor Fate
5) Stargirl
6) Hawkgirl
7) Mister Terrific
8) Captain Marvel

[Dr. Poison]

My list:

Starman
Sand
Black Canary
Dr. Fate
Mr. Terrific
Black Adam
Captain Marvel
Hourman

[MajorHoy]

Based on the current poll results, most popular members seem to be:

* Star-Spangled Kid / Stargirl (Coutney Whitmore)
* Black Adam (Teth-Adam / Theo Adam)
* Hourman II (Rick Tyler)

with Captain Marvel / Shazam (Billy Batson) just one point behind.

Wait . . . was there more than one "Black Adam" in the JSA?

[Starchild]

That's how awesome he is. I put him twice on my list. On a serious note, 7 was suppose to be Black Canary.

[j9ac9k]

I would buy a book if it were just:
- Dr Mid-Nite (Cross)
- Mr Terrific (Holt)
- SS Kid (Courtney)
- Hawkgirl (Kendra)

[Thor2014]

The big standouts for me during this era were Black Adam and Hawkgirl, both characters drove much of the plot during this era. Captain Marvel and Rick Tyler were also of note to me, loved when Rick plucked Rex from the timestream. Billy and Court's romance and the judgemental elders condemning it for the superficial creep factor. If only they knew that Billy was really Courtney's age and not a potential subject for To Catch A Predator.
