I cringe when I hear "second stringers", as if to inply that those characters are less worthy than the "big guns". Zatanna, Black Canary and Red Tornado were considered second stringers in the JLA, because they weren't "icons". Well, who the heck wants to read stories JUST about the icons? Not me. Let's see how Superman stands up to Zatanna's magic, shall we?

I agree, Princess. How many time have "second stringers" had to help out the JLR and save the DCU?

Though I like the icon members in the JLA (Supes, Bats, WW, Aquaman, Flash, GL & Martain Manhunter), the JLR should be bigger than these seven charecters.

It makes more sense to me for the JLA to have a bigger membership (drawing on past JLA members, the JSA and old/new DCU charecters).

Like in the satalite years, not every member should respond to every emergancy (due to other life commitments). To me that would make the JLA more interesting than the same handful of heroes saving the world several times a week.

That's my rant over...

Ta!
