History

Smallville's Justice League

Origin

The Justice League is a team of heroes working together to keep both Metropolis and the world safe. It has been headed at different times by Green Arrow, Watchtower and finally Clark Kent. The group was originally founded to stop Lex Luthor and his Level 33.1 Projects, located around the world. This founding team included Green Arrow, Cyborg, Impulse, and Aquaman, as well as Boy Scout and Watchtower. Together they successfully neutralized many of LuthorCorp facilities, stopping LuthorCorp's testing on meteor-infected people. In 2007, Black Canary joined the team after initially being tricked by Lex Luthor into fighting the League. In late 2008, after a global search to find Clark after the Fortress of Solitude was destroyed, LuthorCorp discovered the secret identities of Aquaman and Black Canary. Shortly after, the team decided to back off of LuthorCorp for a while and disbanded.

Doomsday and Kandorians

In early 2009, the group attempted to save the world by sacrificing the life of Davis Bloome, the camouflage of the monster Doomsday, only to almost get them all killed. By the time they buried Doomsday underground, Jimmy Olsen had lost his life. After the death of Jimmy, the group scattered all across the world. Oliver, who took it very hard, pursued a global venture of excess and debauchery, in an attempt to mask his pain. Chloe, realizing the need to protect the world against Tess Mercer and LuthorCorp, reunites the team to encourage Oliver to become Green Arrow again. Oliver soon realizes that the war against evil is larger than his personal self-interests and how important his role in that endeavor can be. In 2010, they teamed up with the long retired Justice Society of America to stop the notorious hitman, the Icicle from killing all of the JSA's members. John Jones's re-gained his powers right before Doctor Fate sacrificed his life and allowed Icicle to kill him. The teams battled Icicle and defeated him. Checkmate also tried to get the team to work for them, but Martian Manhunter erased Amanda Waller's memory of their identities. The team, once again, teamed up with the Justice Society to battle the Kandorian army. When the Blur, now the established leader replacing Green Arrow, told them that he was going to send them away, Cyborg told him that, as one, they would protect the world in his absence. When the Blur went to take them away, he was stabbed by General Zod with a blue kryptonite dagger, which suppressed his Kryptonian powers and prevented him and General Zod from leaving with the rest of the Kandorians.

Suicide Squad and Slade Wilson

Rick Flag, leader of the Suicide Squad survived Zod's attack on Checkmate and put together a new Suicide Squad and kidnapped Green Arrow forcing Chloe to sacrifice herself in exchange for Green Arrow before faking her death. Flag later tried to recruit Green Arrow to his cause to prevent the Vigilante Registration Act from happening. In Watchtower's absence, The Blur and Green Arrow welcomed former enemy Tess Mercer into the team as the new Watchtower. With the VRA continually causing public fear and hysteria the heroes had been forced underground but came back together to mourn the loss of Hawkman who died protecting Lois Lane from Slade Wilson. While at Hawkman's funeral they are captured by the VRA. Chloe returns and with help from the Suicide Squad helps the team escape the virtual reality the VRA trapped them in.

Season Six

When Lex's Level 33.1 project, which is studying and using people with super-powers as weapons, comes to fruition, Oliver Queen brings together several heroic super-powered allies together: Arthur Curry, Bart Allen, and Victor Stone. Bart has been breaking into LuthorCorp facilities and downloading files. As a result, Lionel meets Lex and tells him that another LuthorCorp facility has been hit. Lionel says six facilities have been attacked, all having to do with 33.1. Lex is not worried and shows Lionel a security camera photograph of a red blur. Lex says that whoever is responsible can move very fast and he intends to catch them and make them a test subject. Chloe reveals that she knows Oliver is the Green Arrow; Clark admits that Bart can super speed. He says Bart is in some kind of trouble and asks her if they can track his cell phone. They look up his records and realize that Bart is working for Oliver Queen. Meanwhile, Bart is at his next assignment, but is caught by an electrical trap and knocked unconscious. Lex arrives immediately to take possession of him. The next day, Clark confronts Oliver about Bart. Clark thinks Oliver is using Bart to fuel his vendetta against Lex. They argue because Oliver says that Clark is waiting for trouble to show up at his doorstep. Oliver explains to Clark about 33.1, and says his team is working on it as Arthur Curry and Victor Stone arrive. Oliver is working to stop Lex from using 33.1 to build an army of super-powered meteor freaks, and eventually starting a war. Clark concedes and asks for more information. Oliver knows Lex has Bart, and his team is already on it. Meanwhile, Bart wakes up in a cell and Lex wants to know who he's working for. When Bart does not answer, but retorts, Lex activates the pressure plates in his cell: if Bart does not keep moving he will be intensely electrocuted.

Oliver and his team work to locate Bart and narrowed it down to 100 miles. Clark suggests they get help, and he goes to Chloe. She gets a lead and Clark tells her to get the information to Oliver while he goes to the Ridge Facility, where Bart is located. Clark insists he goes to the facility to rescue Bart alone, saying he can get there faster. Chloe goes to Queen Tower and gives Oliver the lead on Bart. Oliver pulls up a schematic of the building and Chloe notices several rooms lined with lead. They prepare to move out to check the facility and Chloe realizes that the facility is also being used to store meteor rocks. Clark enters the lead-lined vault containing refined meteor rock, and collapses. Green Arrow knocks two guards unconscious, and then the team enters while Chloe coordinates from his "watchtower." Victor interfaces with the alarm system and Arthur enters from the harbor entrance. Green Arrow and Cyborg go in on foot, then Cyborg goes off on a separate mission, while in his cell Bart begins to slow down form exhaustion. Each of them individually take out the guards, with Green Arrow knocking the one unconscious who has found Clark. Green Arrow sends him to get Bart then heads off, planting explosives.

Cyborg and Aquaman meet up and Cyborg interfaces with the main computer. Clark gets Bart out just in time while Lex arrives to order a lockdown. Bart is so exhausted that his nose is bleeding, and he can't use his super-speed. Green Arrow confronts him and warns that he has ten minutes to get everyone out before the place blows. He then shoots an arrow at Lex, barely cutting his cheek, also scaring him. Chloe confirms that everyone has left the building and even Clark agrees to blow up the facility. They get out and Green Arrow triggers the charges, destroying the facility. The team meets with Clark and Chloe in his barn. Oliver reports that Lex is setting up laboratories all over the globe and asks Clark to join the team. Clark says he wants to, but he has to clean up his own mess first meaning he has to capture all of the Zoners still out of the Phantom Zone. The members left Clark behind to go across the world to find more divisions of Lex's Level 33.1 project and stop his other illegal plans. Oliver shakes Clark's hand, then Oliver and his young justice team leave for their next mission, proudly saying, "Come on boys, let's go save the world." It remains unknown if they are aware Clark has destroyed a 33.1 facility nearby Smallville.

Justice and Doom

Smallville Legends: Justice and Doom is an animated comic book that further explores the adventures of Green Arrow's team. In these, the Green Arrow, Cyborg, Aquaman, Impulse, and Watchtower all work together to take out the rest of Lex Luthor's Level 33.1 facilities. The team also defeated another Ares prototype set loose in Utah. Oliver offered Chloe valuable clues from his experiences when she and Clark were trying to defeat Wes Keenan. The story also insinuates that the Martian Manhunter had been in contact with Dr. Virgil Swann, since he is seen using the large orbital satellite built by Swann Communications, as a base. The Martian Manhunter is also seen wearing the costume he currently wears in the comics as well when he turns into his Martian form at the end of the web story arc.

Season Seven

When Green Arrow's band of heroes thwarts his efforts once too often, Lex employs a super-powered vigilante Black Canary, also known as Dinah Lance, to take down the Emerald Archer. Chloe is working late at the Daily Planet using the computers to intercept a file, as a masked figure watches her from the shadows. As she burns it to disc, the figure throws a knife at her and Chloe runs outside, letting the person she's in contact know she's in danger. Chloe gets to the roof where the figure attacks her: a blond woman in black with a black band of makeup across her eyes. She draws a knife on Chloe, but Green Arrow arrives and pins her to the wall. She pulls free and as Green Arrow fires three arrows, the woman deflects them with a sonic blast. She then knocks down Chloe and takes the disc, jumps off the roof, and breaks her fall with a cable. Clark talks to Chloe as she looks through files on female criminals and talks about how he's uncomfortable with the fact that Lana expressed her love for his phantom duplicate. Noticing her injury, Clark finally gets her to admit she's doing freelance work for Oliver Queen. Clark goes to confront Oliver, angry that he put Chloe in danger. Oliver denies putting her at risk and notes they were hacking into Lex's projects. Meanwhile, the woman meets with Lex and turns over the disc, and he offers to pay her to bring him Green Arrow. Lex made Dinah believe that The Justice League were terrorists. So she breaks into Chloe's desk and checks her phone call log, finding Oliver Queen's number. After deducing his identity, she arrives at Oliver's balcony and shatters the window with her "sonic scream." Oliver is knocked out. Oliver is held hostage and accused of being a terrorist. He denies it but she calls Lex and has him initiate the wire transfer. Meanwhile, Clarks meets Chloe at the Planet, who realized that someone tapped into her activities at the Planet, from inside the Planet. Dinah Lance was the only one logged on and Chloe alters her photo to confirm she's the woman, who they nickname "Black Canary." Chloe locates the wire transfer and cuts it off. Black Canary goes to see Lex only for Clark to intercept her. Clark insists Oliver is not the villain but when she attacks him she is bounces off. However, when she uses her sonic scream it overloads Clark's super-hearing, knocking him down long enough for her to escape. After a confrontation with Clark she began to have doubts about Lex. Canary goes to see Lex and demands evidence about Green Arrow's supposed criminal activities. When she refuses, Lex shoots her but Green Arrow arrives and the two men fight. Black Canary arrives and takes out a guard, but as all three heroes shoot at each other, Clark arrives and deflects the bullets and arrows, then gets Black Canary away and lets Lex takes Black Canary's knife blade in the shoulder. Green Arrow walks out, wishing Lex better luck next time. Black Canary has set up a meeting with Clark and Oliver to apologize and retire from crime fighting. Oliver suggests it would be a waste and she should join up with his team. Clark again defers on joining up and Oliver strolls away with Dinah.

When they realized that the Society's members were being killed one by one by the villain, the Icicle, they made an alliance with the Society. Unfortunately, the alliance was strained by the fact that Oliver and the JSA's leader Carter Hall AKA Hawkman, did not get along. Together, they managed to defeat the Icicle and John Jones even managed to get his powers back. The Society taught Chloe and Oliver the fact that they shouldn't act only as a team but as a family, which Oliver took to heart, inviting Chloe and John to go get something to eat after they had won their battle.

Oliver was captured by Tess Mercer where he was introduced to Checkmate leader Amanda Waller who asked him to join Checkmate. Clark and Chloe talk about Green Arrow and talks about him not following protocols where the JL members plug in to Watchtower when the go on Patrol which he did not know about.

After Clark sees his future as Superman and Oliver reveals that he is the Green Arrow to the world, the team starts to function a little better, they even welcome Tess Mercer as a part of their team, making her the "new" Watchtower in Chloe's place, after helping them defeat Isis. Some time after these events, and after the Vigilante Registration Act was passed, Aquaman and his new wife Mera started to attack VRA prisons off the coast of Miami, Florida. The Blur went down there to set things strait with Aquaman, but A.C. revealed to him that Col. Slade Wilson was using these prisons for vigilante torture.

He then reveals to the team the looming threat of Darkseid. When Clark accidentally activated the Kryptonian Mirror box and came to a parallel Earth, his evil doppelganger Clark Luthor/Ultraman took his place on the Earth-1. Tess found out about this and tried to call the team for help, but to no avail. She managed to contact Lois to come to Watchtower for her safety, but Ultraman found Watchtower's Location and damaged it severely while trying to get the Mirror Box from Tess so he could destroy and trap Clark in his world forever while he takes over Earth. Oliver came to Watchtower to help Tess and Lois stop Ultraman with kryptonite weaponry. Meanwhile Clark managed find the mirror box in the parallel earth and upon activating it he returned to his world and sent Ultraman back to his where he destroyed the box to insure that Ultraman would never return to his world ever again.

Later, The League assembled lead by Tess to throw Lois and Clark a surprise engagement party to celebrate their recent engagement. After a happy night, Oliver stopped a mugging in progress, but because he had been recently been labeled as a terrorist by the VRA he is viciously attacked by citizens who begin to beat upon him. Until he is rescued by Carter and Courtney who take him back to Watchtower to tend to his injuries. Slade who was presumed dead, resurfaces and accuses the vigilante community for the lose of his eye and ordered the military to find and capture all members of the team and suspected supporters. Key members: Tess, Emil, and Lois were captured, but eventually escaped. Later, Slade tried to kill Lois at Luthorcorp, hoping to draw out Clark out of hiding but Hawkman burst in the building and fought Slade in a vicious duel. Hawkman managed to hold his own against Slade during the fight until they broke a gas pipe that temporarily impeded Carter's vision and Slade used this opportunity to his advantage and stabbed Carter in the back. The gas pipe behind him ignited causing a massive explosion. Carter's wings protected him from the flames but the explosion created a shockwave that sent Lois hurtling out the window and plummeting to the street below With Carter's last bit of strength, he dove after Lois and wrapped her in his wings to break her fall and protected her long enough until he could reunite her with Clark who had managed to find Slade and defeat him by banishing him to the Phantom Zone. The entire Justice League later came together to lay Carter to rest in Egypt, where he was buried next to his wife: Shayera Hall. During the funeral a mysterious white pyramid came out of the sand and after a flash of white light the League was left unconscious.

The team found themselves trapped in a virtual world setup by the VRA to learn how to control each of their special abilities and skills. One by one, the League was released starting with Oliver and then Dinah, thanks to Chloe Sullivan and the Suicide Squad. When Slade Wilson was found unconscious on a street corner, the league was able to use Booster Gold's technology secure the Phantom Zone. At the Daily Planet, Clark went to see Lois in her new office, as she was investigating a story about the a business organization called Marionette Ventures, which was buying out various small businesses in order to control the water front properties. Meanwhile, Courtney was working with John Jones to investigate Marionette Ventures and found out it is composed of various supervillains, only to get herself under their control by committing crimes when they implanted a device on her neck. Clark and Lois were able to stop her and save her by removing the device. Courtney was present at Watchtower when Tess was analyzing the device finding out Toyman was the creator of the device. Under the suggestion to kill the Blur/Clark, Lois set out to find him and with 30 seconds until sundown for Clark to have his powers back. At their meeting, each member was assigned a target from the Justice League. Eventually, Clark reached out to her with his declaration of love, and it stalled out for the moment. After she failed and the ordeal was done, Clark paid a visit to Winslow Schott to tell him that even though Toyman knew Clark's true identity, Clark knew he wouldn't reveal it to the public because the Toyman still had some "games" to play so he will always be there to stop him and his allies.

During the invasion of Apokolips caused by Darkseid, Oliver was shown to have been corrupted by Darkseid and joined his minions in stopping Clark. John helped out Tess at Watchtower by turning Watchtower's new space station online to detect the planet for the League. Clark was able to help Oliver and relieve him of his corruption. Because of the interference Apokolips was giving off on the world's communication systems, Clark and Oliver could not get a hold of the League to tell them of the threat. Instead, they had Chloe Sullivan go to her base in Star City to round them up for the fight. Going to find a way to help, Oliver returned to Watchtower to get his Green Arrow gear and returned to the Unholy Trinity and defeated them. After her capture from Lionel Luthor of Earth-2, Tess Mercer found out Lex was alive, shot Lionel and escaped. She arrived at Luthorcorp to go and help the League only to be killed by Lex Luthor after his return. Finally with little time left remaining before Apokolips clashed into Earth, Clark embraced his destiny as Superman, defeated Darkseid and sent Apokolips away, Superman was able to save the planet in time. The aftermath caused by Darkseid to the league was Clark now used the name Superman instead of the Blur and that their old nemesis Lex Luthor has returned, taken over Luthorcorp and turning it to Lexcorp, and now Lex has no memory of his past only the hatred and darkness from those memories remained.

The Legion of supervillains were given assignments to target one member from the Justice League. They managed to control Lois Lane, but his love for her was able to stall her enough so he can receive his abilities back once it was sundown. After the ordeal was done, Clark paid tell Toyman that he will always be there to stop him and his allies. (Partial Success)

War With Darkseid

Clark Kent, Chloe Sullivan, Lois Lane, Tess Mercer and Oliver Queen teamed up to take a last stand against Darkseid. After Tess found out about Apokolips reaching Earth, she left a video message for Clark, but was intercepted by Lionel Luthor, who wanted to resurrect Lex. Oliver, who was infected with the darkness, had a super brawl with Clark which interrupted Clark and Lois's wedding. After Clark freed Oliver of his corruption, Apokolips came over Earth and caused an Eclipse. With Watchtower malfunctioning, Chloe set off for her database in Star City. Lois stowed away onto Air Force One, to stop the Government from launching a nuke at Apokolips, which would only cause millions of human casualties from Nuclear debris, which the Government was well aware of. Tess was able to kill Lionel, who then sold his soul to Darkseid in exchange for Lex's rebirth. Lex later killed Tess at LuthorCorp, but not before she erased his memories, preventing him from causing Clark harm. Oliver donned his Green Arrow gear, and destroyed Granny Goodness, Desaad and Gordon Godfrey. Clark fought Darkseid, and after learning how to fly, defeated him. He then saved Air Force One, saved people from the Omegas on their foreheads and was able to lift Apokolips away from Earth. (Success)

Notes

• This is the first team of superheroes who have appeared on Smallville, the second was the Legion of Super-Heroes from the 31st century, and the third was the Justice Society of America, a superhero group from the past.
• Although it has not been officially stated that their team name is the Justice League, although on many of the computer screens at Watchtower their logo appears to have a JLA in it which appear since Season Nine's Savior.
• Due to the situation of Oliver Queen's superhero team taking a pro-active role in crime-fighting, as well as their status as vigilantes or criminals in the eyes of the law, as well as many others, the team more closely resembles the comics' team The Outsiders rather than the Justice League, especially considering Clark's disagreement with many of their crime-fighting practices and his refusal to officially join the group until recently. Also, considering the current lineup of the team, they have more in common with the type of heroes generally recruited for The Outsiders. The biggest thing that separates The Justice League from Queen's team is, of course, the absence of founding members Batman and Wonder Woman from their ranks.
• All the members of the Justice League on Smallville have been members (past or present) in the comics minus Bart Allen/Impulse.
• Absolute Justice marks the first JLA/JSA team-up. In the comics, they JLA and the JSA have made it an annual event to team-up with each other. Although, they sometimes get thrown on the same missions by fate itself.
• Clark, Chloe, and Oliver can be considered Smallville's "Trinity". Oliver and Chloe are Clark's cloest friend's and associates and out of everyone else in the League, Clark, Chloe, and Oliver have worked together for the longest.
• Lois can be credited with helping to finish the team's name. She referred to them as the League in the last few episodes of the series.

Trivia

• In the comics, Amanda Waller and Maxwell Lord have a long history with the Justice League of America.
• Season Ten's Patriot marks the first time that Lois Lane has ever been a member of the Justice League in any form.
• Hawkman/Carter Hall (the leader of the Justice Society of America) was an original JSA member in the comics. The character should not be confused with the decades-later Hawkman/Katar Hol, who was in the later JLA from its inception. These two characters have always been kept separate in DC Comics continuity until recently in Geoff Johns' Return of Hawkman story arc where Carter Hall and Katar Hol have been revealed to be the same, one being from a past life.
• Martian Manhunter, although not well known, has been a major JLA member in the past. He has been in every JLA lineup with the exception of the current League.
• Actor Phil Morris (John Jones) has stated in an interview that he wishes for Martian Manhunter to step up and become the leader of the team.
