Jeepers! It's getting difficult to make a list that fits all the clues now!

I think this is consistent with everything we know.
1. Batman 2. Superman 3. Wonder Woman 4. Green Lantern 5. Green Arrow 6. Flash 7. Aquaman 8. Hawkman 9. Red Tornado 10. Phantom Stranger 11. Black Canary 12. Elongated Man 13. Hawkgirl 14. Atom

EDE - you have 4 correct (2 of which are the same as Xben's).
Clue time - somewhat surprisingly to me, neither Superman nor Batman was the most popular JLA member back then, and nor was Phantom Stranger the least most popular member.

Of course, now that I look back at it, it wasn't consistent with what we knew, though that actually works slightly to my advantage!

I have a hard time imagining Batman being so low, but I think this is consistent with what we know so far.

I know this can't be right, but I wanted to get another guess in.

Future - you have 12 of 14 correct (swap 2 names and you'd have it perfect).
Xben - you have 5 correct (all of which, Future also has correct).

Swapping the two I felt could have been the most out of place, though I'm not positive about it.
01. Green Lantern 02. Superman 03. Flash 04. Batman 05. Green Arrow 06. Black Canary 07. Wonder Woman 08. Hawkman 09. Red Tornado 10. Atom 11. Aquaman 12. Phantom Stranger 13. Elongated Man 14. Hawkgirl

No, that doesn't work. Does Future have it?

Phantom Stranger 13. Elongated Man 14. Hawkgirl You have it! Some interesting things I find about that list - - Green Lantern was hugely popular even back then (his total sccore of 685 was nearly a third more than the second-place character, Superman - who got 454). - Very surprised by Batman's place on the list (with 422 points). I really think the Tim Burton movie is what kicked this already quite popular character into the stratosphere. - Black Canary placed much higher than I would have thought, and her 327 points were significantly ahead of Wonder Woman's 278. It makes you wonder why DC never did more with this character back then, other than her regular appearances in this book and supporting Green Arrow whenever he had a back-up tale in something. - Phantom Stranger, who only had about 5 appearances in this book for the entirety of its run, beat both Elongated Man and Hawkgirl?! Weird. - Poor Aquaman charted quite lowly in comparison to the other founders (with 178 points), and was even beaten by Red Tornado! Why does this character just not connect with fans? I think he's a very interesting, multi-layered character with a wealth of potential. Incidentally, the top 5 vote-getters from this poll were all the featured players in the issue this list was published in (with minor supporting roles from 6, 7 and 9 on the list too - not sure what happened to 8? Maybe he was off in space at the time?) and that story was the first introduction to the DCU of a certain (minor) JLA supporting character. I might leave that person's identity for my next Trivia question though. Over to you Future.

My whole logical process was thrown off at the beginning by a false conclusion on my part that Hawkman wasn't right for #8.

Good job, Future!
I had the same Hawkman problem, Xben.

I likewise wasn't sure about Hawkman's placement in the beginning, but the more clues/answers that came in the more it seemed correct by default.
Definitely interesting results. It's surprising that Black Canary beat out Wonder Woman but perhaps she was riding some popularity on Green Arrow's coat-tails? Green Lantern's rank surprised me too but thinking back on the era he stood out to me more than the other big 7, except maybe Batman and Superman (who were already mentioned as not ranking #1).
Randomly, great question Blacula. It's not everyone's cup of tea probably but I like working on puzzles & ordering like that.

Let's shift gears to Marvel and all things X (as it was the first piece of trivia that came to my mind).
Which member of the New X-Men student body owes their codename to a fan's suggestion on a message board?

Elixir? (Not that I can keep track of which ones would fall under being part of the "New X-Men student body" anymore... )

Not Elixir, though that is the correct generation! I suppose "students" isn't quite accurate anymore (at least depending on the writer).
Hint #1: This character is still alive (sadly narrows the playing field more than it should for that era of kids)

Both good guesses, the latter two more close than Elixir as my next hint will explain:
Hint #2: This character appeared in both the New X-Men series as well as the Young X-Men series.
Randomly, on Quis' guess, I do believe Rockslide's last name was created by a fan first but not his codename. Not positive about that, but I seem to recall that tidbit.
