Yeah. This is no easy vote.

[MajorHoy]

Yeah. This is no easy vote.

Well, remember, if you read the name of the poll

Justice Society Poll III: favorite members - JSA (1999-2006) additions

as well as the instructions from the original post

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.

It isn't a poll where you can only choose one member.
(Or is it a problem of not liking any of the choices?)

Honestly, the only one I couldn’t stand was Stargirl, and JJ Thunder. They should have formed their own Infinity Inc., and not been a part of the JSA.

But at least they had more direct Legacy-claims to the JSA than a lot of people Johns threw into the post-Infinite Crisis fustercluck-relaunch.

Of that I’ll agree with as well. I just don’t like teens thrown into a group like the JSA, where often they’re made to be either overly obnoxious, or Mary Sue’d by creators. I hate that Jack retired after his ongoing.

I've heard that was supposedly more of an agreement between James Robinson and DC rather than just a plot-choice.

I know, but it still bummed me out. Jack Knight’s Starman has always been one of my favorite characters ever.

I love all the characters from this run. But the one that really sticks in my mind from this period isn't in the poll - The Crimson Avenger (Jill Carlyle). I love the concept of this character - someone "possessed" by guns with no triggers, that never run out of ammunition, dragged from scene to scene of injustice. The storyline has a very Elric of Melnibone quality to it I really enjoyed. Unfortunately she wasn't around very long, and although we've seen a couple peeks of the character since then, no one's really tried to do anything of substance with her. Maybe someday...
