Guatemala and South Korea?

not South Korea. but geographically close

Guatemala and Japan?

yes, you got it!

In one of the later issues of Starman, Ted Knight re-tells an old JSA adventure against Brain Wave in which most of the JSA were rescued by their girlfriends, dressed in their costumes. Ted declares that reports of female versions of two JSA members were not true. Who were these JSAers who, according to Ted, did not have women dress as them?

Hmmm... thinks of which JSAers would be least likely to have girlfriends, or to have girlfriends willing to dress as them...

Johnny Thunder
Wildcat

The Spectre
Johnny Thunder

Both the Spectre and Johnny Thunder had female counterparts in the story, and Wildcat was not yet a member at the time.

(Johnny's was not a girlfriend, but his adopted daughter Peachy Pet.)

Hmmm

Al Pratt
Mister Terrific

Al Pratt is one of the two, Mister Terrific was not yet a member at the time.

Doctor Fate?

Nope, Inza was one of the rescuers.

Yeah, I figured Inza would have been there...

Hourman?

Hourman at this point in time was not a member - he was replaced by Starman, who is obviously involved.

Dr. Mid-Nite

Batman?

Ibby's got it. "There were reports of a female Atom and Dr. Mid-Nite...fiction."

I thought The Atom did have a GA girlfriend and we know that Doc definitely had a bird.

But the bird couldn't have fit into a human-sized costume

Which 7 reservists did the Justice League call in to help investigate events in Russia?

thoth, they did have those (and Mid-Nite had a secretary/love interest whom he was too shy to actually ask out), but they didn't participate in the adventure against Brain Wave. At least according to Ted Knight in Starman # 69.

I remember that Charles McNider did indeed have a sort-of love interest, but I also remembered the relationship wasn't that strong (and I remembered that she seemed not to know his secret identity, so would be less likely to join in).

It was the Spectre that surprised me, though I seem to also remember that the early Spectre was more human than the later version.

Interestingly, in the original story, neither Dr. Mid-Nite nor the Atom's girlfriends are shown at the beginning of the story when Wonder Woman recruits the girlfriends, but female version of both appear as part of the actual rescue party...

I guess someone called them in along the way.

Or, as per Ted Knight, it was a chronicler's error.
