Not Superman, Atom, Jay Garrick, Doctor Fate, Big Barda, Question or Hawkman.

Of these answers, all except the Question have a similarity to the character I'm looking for.

Zatanna?

Firestorm?

Not Superman, Atom, Jay Garrick, Doctor Fate, Big Barda, Question, Hawkman, Firestorm or Zatanna.

It was someone who has been a member of the league.

Yeah, I figured it had been a past member. Least that narrows it down...

Hal Jordan?

Elongated Man?

Doctor Light?

Not Superman, Atom, Jay Garrick, Doctor Fate, Big Barda, Question, Hawkman, Firestorm, Zatanna, Hal Jordan, Elongated Man or Doctor Light

Cap's Hobby Hints:-
It was someone who has been a member of the league.
This member relates strongly with the storyline that led into this issue.

Gypsy?

Aquaman?

Chaim has it! It was Gypsy. The story follows on from Despero taking his revenge on the Justice League Detroit. Gypsy has lost her family, but declines J'onn's invitation to join the team. She'd turn up in Justice League Task Force.

I knew I'd remember once someone said it. As soon as Chaim said Gypsy I was thinking "of course!" Good job Chaim.

ah nice one! didn't realize this took place after that bit.

I have to say, until that last clue, I totally forgot about that. In retrospect, it felt more like an offer of "you always have a home with us" than an invitation to join the actively fighting super-hero team, which would have been a bit of a raw wound to her at that time.

In any case: Who were the two umpires (home plate and field) in the super-heroes vs super-villains baseball game arranged by Huntress and Sportsmaster?

Oh I remember that story vaguely... It was a nice mixture of awesome and ridiculous.

Amazo was the villain umpire, reasoning was that, as a robot, he could not lie.

And Uncle Sam for the heroes, because everyone could trust him to be fair and impartial.

Batman and Lex Luthor?

Superman & Mr Mxyzptlk



J'Onn: ? Have you considered my proposal?
Gypsy: To join the JLA?
A little later...
Max: She turned us down, didn't she?

Ibby is correct! I recently wrote an article about that issue as one of a series of posts about baseball-related comic books for a web site about my favorite baseball team.

nice article, CMK! you apply your excellent knowledge of both DC comics and baseball well. I know nearly nothing about baseball, but I appreciated your insights on, for example, Supes/Sportsmaster batting last. and also the implications of Huntress' career, and especially the silliness of two minor league villains having such a powerful transportational device....

ah, what a fun story that was. silly, but fun.

Okay, let's see...

Which two Justice Leaguers helped convince Maya to stay away from her "abusive" parents?

Thanks for the kind words. That's the third article in the series, but unless you ask (no pressure) I won't post links to the first two. I'm not big on self-promotion, I only put stuff out there if I know there's interest, and you already said you're not big into baseball.

As to your question...I wasn't reading JLE at that time, so all I know is who the members were...Hal Jordan and Wally West?

Thanks. I'm not big into baseball, but I'm a comics fan and a fan of good writing, so I would love to read your articles!

re your question: good start, Hal and Wally were definitely there was not them though

Well, since you asked...

Royals Stadium Hosts the Avengers
An Avengers Astrodome Adventure

And for the question - Doctor Light and Power Girl?

Tasmanian Devil and Aquaman?

you got it! The three went to India together to represent the JLI. Maya's parents were part of a cult that believed Maya was the reincarnation of Shiva... when Kimiyo and Kara tried to help Maya get away, the cult blasted them. Maya was shocked into action, and left her parents to go with the team that showed concern for her welfare.

Also: thanks for the articles. Interesting how Marvel let the heroes use their powers... LOL at Wonder Man being a horrible pitcher. It's a bit too bad that the Avengers games didn't have as much background detail as the DC one, but I guess the DC one was in a special issue while the Avengers ones were in the midst of other stories, so that makes sense. Love the annotations you put for people who watch the TV series, great way to introduce the comics to new fans coming in from other media. And I found your articles very accessible despite my lack of in-depth Avengers knowledge, you explained the "what happened before" really well!

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm going for in my articles!

And cool that I got the right pair on only my second try.

OK...what did Spider-Man illegally take from government property for personal gain, because he felt he deserved it for his life-saving services?
