thanks for the reminder, stile!

Ok...

Name the two Justice Leaguers brought in to replace some "fired" members briefly, during the Breakdowns story arc.

Aquaman and Flash?

Hal Jordan & Arthur Curry?

I should know this. I've read it enough times but not for a few years now...

I think both of these were earlier but just in case:
Doctor Fate (in female form)?
General - er - Freedom? (Can't remember if that was his name but old guy supposedly he fought in WWII and saying a magic word/phrase turned him into super-righteous bloke that Guy Gardner almost worshipped - fought arch-nemesis who had a giant Nazi robot).

Nope




Nope



Nope. stile86, you're the closest. But:

Female Doctor Fate came in much earlier in the series,

while General Glory joined shortly before Breakdowns, but not as a replacement.

Yes I thought Doctor Fate was earlier and even General Glory (thank you for the name).

Breakdowns was the windup of the International JL, went for about 15? issues. There was the tale of Despero attacking again and the one about the sorcerer from - er - Silver something even though she was all in brown - anyway from her and Blue Jay's dimension. Guy was one of those dropped for sucker punching Beetle.

Still can't remember. Oh wait. Was it Lightray and Orion or was that earlier as well?

Correct description of Breakdowns, stile! Silver Sorceress was the lady all in brown, yeah, I know, not the best name... she and Blue Jay were obvious pastiches of Scarlet Witch and Wasp anyway...


But not Lightray and Orion, who briefly joined quite a bit earlier.

Not:

Aquaman
Flash
Hal Jordan
Doctor Fate (Linda Strauss)
General Glory
Lightray
Orion

I am really stuck on this one.

If it is not too early for a clue, am I right that these two are not normally associated with the JL (which was true of a lot of the JLI anyway)?

Hmmm....

I would say these two are not among the first heroes one thinks of as JL members...

Neither is American...

Both had already been associated somehow with the JLI before joining up,

and both would join again at least once in the future.

I guess one will be Doctor Light.

The other...

Lobo?

Ah, you know me too well.

One was indeed Kimiyo Hoshi, Doctor Light

other was not Lobo

Lobo

Tee hee. I've no memory of her rejoining at that time. I remember picking up JLA #60 for the Maguire art. That makes me think I pulled the plug on the main series some time before that. I'll have got them out of the bargain bin much later on.

The Beefeater?

I'm not sure if the Beefeater was ever considered a real member. Anyway, he doesn't fit the "joined again after" clue

Tasmanian Devil?

Fire?

CMK has it, it was Taz! He was attached to the JLI's Australian embassy before this, and would later become a re-official member of the JLI at the end of the Red Winter storyline.

The Taz answer brings me to my question:

In "The History of the DC Universe", there's a page dedicated to the Global Guardians, and depicted alongside them is a hero who has never been associated with that team. Who was that hero?

Ooh tough one...

Crimson Fox?

Non.

Beefeater? (although calling him a hero may be stretching things a bit)

Shining Knight?

Lionheart?

Toughie... post Crisis '80s....I keep seeing Dr Mist's face... but he *was* part of the team.
Not Katana...not Doctor Light...not B'Wana Beast... not Congorilla… not Vixen...

Was it Sunburst?

It was none of those. That page only had one representative of any given country, and the United Kingdom was represented by Godiva, a genuine Global Guardian.
