Actually, this question does double as a Legiony question..

It was Cary Bates! I find the Earth Prime comics to be among the dullest of the Jlas. Over to you Ibby

Ah, I remember that story. For the love of cuckamonga. That one panel where Elliot S! Maggin (why the exclamation point, I don't know) and Green Arrow had the exact same line...
... and then we see Cary Bates in spandex. And I remember thinking he's surprisingly buff for a comic book writer. So super powers grant a super physique too?
And this is me stalling while thinking of a question...
Captain Atom and the JLE once helped the gargoyles of Notre Dame free themselves from a curse. They were accused of stealing the gargoyles, but that's another matter. When they were introduced to the gargoyles, there were two exchange gargoyles from outside France.
What two countries were they from?

It wasn't in the JLE series, it was in one of those 80-page giants that came out after the fact.
Captain Atom and the JLE once helped the gargoyles of Notre Dame free themselves from a curse. They were accused of stealing the gargoyles, but that's another matter. When they were introduced to the gargoyles, there were two exchange gargoyles from outside France.
What two countries were they from?
Not:
UK
USA
Germany
Holland / Netherlands
