I am very happy that everybody seems interested in the Strikeforce 2.

Yes to the ones that called dibs on characters.

Sammitch, yes, there will be a carnage, but, Pro, the one to know when it will happen is Grimm, not me. So, I can't really tell when the Strikeforce 2 will have to be ready for the use. Merlin said one month in his speech, so the beginning of February could be a rough date for when the Strikeforce should be ready. In fact, time wise, at that date maybe just a few of those characters could be there, as others could be still "in training" and not ready to enter action.

As for why the JLA, yes, it's just a guideline. Next time could be the Avengers or X-Men or Teen Titans.

In any case, that doesn't mean they will be killed all, some could be just badly injured, but recoverable for much later use.
