This is why I am a DC fan, first and foremost.

The Justice League of America, for my money the single best roster for a superhero team in comics. Maybe the Avengers had more different rosters and more fun combinations, and the X-Men may have been better written at times, and the Legion may have them beat on sheer numbers, but this is the team all others are compared to. It's got everything. There's sheer muscle in Superman and Wonder Woman, raw power in Green Lantern and Firestorm, specialists like the Atom, Flash, Aquaman, Zatanna, Black Canary and the Elongated Man, mere mortals who get by on sheer skill and willpower like Batman and Green Arrow, and lost souls looking for a new home like J'onn J'onzz, the Hawks and the Red Tornado. Most of all, it's got pedigree. It's got stature. It's got presence. Other teams were just superheroes. Back in the day, at least through the eyes of this 10-year-old kid, the Justice League of America felt like legends.
