History
Pre-Crisis
Justice League were a team of superheroes that gathered to protect the world and existed on Earth in the Multiverse.
According to one account, the official formation of the Justice League began when Earth was invaded by Appellaxian warriors sent to the planet to see who could conquer Earth first with this being deemed a means of determining who would become the new ruler of their home planet. Each alien warrior possessed a different power or ability where they attacked a different portion of Earth, which drew the individual attention of the Flash Barry Allen, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter. Most of the Appellaxian invaders were defeated by the superheroes individually but they themselves fell prey one by one to a single competitor's attack. They soon discovered that only by working together could they defeat the competitor. Superman and Batman joined them in defeating the remaining Appellaxians. Afterwards, the group decided that they should form a permanent organization to confront menaces that required a similar pooling of resources and dubbed themselves the Justice League of America.
