Not Ice! We should keep this round going until we’ve named every character who was in the story. At the rate we're going, we are.... I think we're only halfway to doing that Godiva and Owlwoman's teammates, for example. And there is one more JSA member not named. And one or two people who were with the JLA... plus a couple of full time JLE-ers...

Sir what-his-name? Nope, not him.
I just googled, and his name was Duke Donald.

Which 7 reservists did the Justice League call in to help investigate events in Russia (during the Red Winter storyline)?
Hint: all the correct answers had once been active League members Hint 2: Captain Atom and Agent Liberty are very close guesses because of something they have in common with this character. Captain Marvel and Animal Man are closer guesses than Green Arrow. Hint 3: this character had held League membership at a time close to all the other correct answers; this character was a member during the JLI/JLE days, but joined after the JLE's formation yet before the Ray joined the JLA Hint 4: this character is male
1) Tasmanian Devil 2) Mister Miracle 3) Huntress 4) Black Canary 5) Metamorpho 6) Blue Jay 7)
Not:
Little Mermaid (who was present in that story as a Global Guardian) Osiris Golden Pharaoh Beefeater Wonder Woman (who was present in that story as a JLA member) Animal Man Seneca Sue Dibny (who was present in that story as a JLE associate and Sonar's "captive") Elongated Man (who was present in that story as a JLE member) Ice Maiden Atom Firestorm Doctor Light (who was present in that story as a JLE member) Jay Garrick (who was present in that story as a JSA member) Al Pratt (who was present in that story as a JSA member) Charles McNider (who was present in that story as a JSA member) Ted Grant (who was present in that story as a JSA member) Fire (who was present in that story as a JLA member) Owlwoman (who was present in that story as a Global Guardian) Black Lightning Gypsy Lionheart Maya (who was present in that story as a new JLE ally, joining after) Doctor Fate Big Barda Aquaman (who was present in that story as a JLE member) Guy Gardner (who was present in that story as a JLA member) Rocket Red (who was present in that story as a Rocket Red) Vixen Batman Superman Silver Sorceress (was dead at the time) Booster Gold (who was present in that story as a JLA member) Zatanna Lightray Animal Man Captain Marvel Green Arrow Captain Atom Blue Beetle Martian Manhunter Creeper Major Force Agent Liberty (who was present in that story as a JLA member) The Ray Flash (Wally West) (who was present in that story as a JLE member) Power Girl (who was present in that story as a JLE member) Ice Duke Donald (the ghost knight in the JLE castle)

you got it! it was General Glory - pretty much the only one among the 7 reserves to not even get a single line. he was also the first to get knocked out when Crimson Fox and the reserves faced the Rocket Reds the first time

This story featured a lot of characters, so let's do a list (because I love lists):
Justice League Europe members:
Aquaman (would leave after the story) Crimson Fox (Vivian was in the field, though Constance also appeared) Doctor Light (Kimiyo) Elongated Man Flash (Wally) Green Lantern (Hal) Power Girl
Justice League Europe associates:
Sue Dibny (in her role as support; the villain Sonar also tried to woo her by threatening Elongated Man) Maya (would join the JLE at the end of the story, as its mandate expanded to become the JLI) Duke Donald (the ghost in the JLE castle)
Justice League reserves: (called in because JLA was unavailable then, due to Doomsday and Superman's death)
Metamorpho (would join the JLE at the end of the story, as its mandate expanded to become the JLI) Tasmanian Devil (would join the JLE at the end of the story, as its mandate expanded to become the JLI) Black Canary Huntress Blue Jay General Glory Mister Miracle
Justice League America members:
Fire Maxima Wonder Woman Booster Gold Guy Gardner Bloodwynd Agent Liberty
Note: Doomsday explains why Ice and Blue Beetle were absent, but there is a slight continuity error. Fire was depowered and Booster Gold's equipment was destroyed by Doomsday, so they should have been absent. Maxima was also wearing her old question. Ray and Black Condor were absent too, though if I remember right they should have showed up at about the same time as Wonder Woman and Agent Liberty. Condor and Liberty were only around for like 5 issues of the JLA run anyway...
Justice Society of America:
Green Lantern (Alan Scott) Flash (Jay Garrick) Atom (Al Pratt) Wildcat (Ted Grant) Doctor Mid-nite (Charles McNider)
Global Guardians:
I'm not going to name each of them, but Ice Maiden (Sigrid) had not yet been introduced; and Little Mermaid showed up alive, claiming she was the good twin of the Mermaid who died earlier.

General Glory! That’s who I was thinking of! I had totally forgotten that character until this question.

I think you had an idea of who he was, but just forgot his code name.

She was indeed. Although I should add that just now, when I looked up Wikipedia to confirm before answering, I discovered that there was also an Alpha Flight member by that name, maybe that's who Ibby was thinking of/thought I was referring to. I'd never heard of that character.
For your question...Bruno Mannheim?

I’ve never read The Power of Shazam! so I’m not even sure how I knew that answer. Haha I really liked Grant Morrison’s Bulleteer though so I might have learned it while reading up about her.

Not Bruno.

Yeah, I was thinking of the Alpha Flight character. That's probably whom thoth was thinking of too, with his guessof Wolverine and Sasquatch. It was only after Blacula got the correct answer, that I realized there must be another Windshear. Sadly, when I tried doing a search, it was the Alpha Flight Windshear who kept popping up.

Nope. But you are correct in assuming that this is not one of Batman's A (or even B) list villains.
