stormfront13
what x-men could make it on the JLA and still be an asset to the team??? I'd say storm and bishop and phoenix- who and what do you guys think??

gambitindaflesh
what's JLA?

pr1983
justice league of america... DC...

stormfront13
yeah its the team with people like flash, superman, martian manhunter, and wonder woman.

gambitindaflesh
Oh, so they are supposed to be the best of the best kind of thing?

stormfront13
yeah kinda- I think storm could do it

pr1983
phoenix (obviously), iceman, storm... thats pretty much it...

though i think phoenix is the only one who could do it easily...

gambitindaflesh
Yep, Pheonix for sure, Storm is a go, maybe Rogue, Xavier, Magneto, uh...

pr1983
rogue is a no no... shes a weaker wonder woman... her absorbing wouldnt be enough to get her in imo...

the jla would be looking for variety... thats what gives storm her best chance...

its the reason the likes of colossus and cyclops wouldnt be wanted, they have superman and batman...

stormfront13
I think that wolverine might be good

stormfront13
pr is right- but they don't have a telekinetic so phoeinx would be good, and they don't have an elemental so storm and iceman would be good imo

pr1983
other than the 3...

wolverine is absolutley no use to them...

he can fight...

so can gl, hawkgirl, superman, wonder woman, martian manhunter...

the prof is too old, and they dont really need a leader...

stormfront13
yeah wolverine is kinda bad now that you think about it- I take that statement back- I think the most three eligable are storm-phoenix, and iceman- how bout magma, shes reallt powerful and the JLA doesn't have anyone like her except tarra

pr1983
tarra?

stormfront13
yeah the rock girl- she was on teen titans

pr1983
oh, i dont watch teen titans embarrasment

but magma... maybe... i dont think shes developed enough, i mean she isnt even an xman yet is she?

stormfront13
here's terra's powers-Terra had control over the Earth and often flew on a chunk of rock to reach her destination. Terra could transform the consistency of earth and rock, cause earthquakes, tap into lava flows, and create shapes out of solid rock.

and magma had worked w/ the x-treme x-men for a few missions

gambitindaflesh
I'm afraid I don't know enough about all this to have an opinion.

pr1983
suppose stormfront...

though the jla is the best of the best...

i think probably when they're older they could do it...

dont worry about it gambit...

stormfront13
when who is older

pr1983
terra or magma...

stormfront13
yeah I think for magma to make it then the JLA will be a little desperate. she is powerful though

pr1983
i mean the jla as they are dont really need any more members...

stormfront13
yeah but its cool to discuss which x-men are powerful enough to join, well it is imo

pr1983
it is...

stormfront13
well anyway I still stay storm, and phoenix, those seem to be the most likely to go in cause of their powers

pr1983
phoenix is practically a god... i doubt she'd join... i dont think they want any planets destroyed...

and i think storm would most likely replace green lantern...

stormfront13
yeah maybe-I love storm but is she on his kinda power level

pr1983
nah... the ring is probably the most powerful weapon in the universe in dc...

i dont see why she couldnt be a green lantern though...

stormfront13
yeah she has that pure and hoeric heart thing goin on, but if she had a gl ring then she'd be super powerful

pr1983
she would indeed...

stormfront13
yeah do you think strong enough to beat ww, but anyway even without the ring, she would definitley be able to fill his shoes right??

ScarletSpider
Joseph--they don't have any magnet people really, at least not at his power

Nate Grey--pure power. They have a telepath with MM, but not at this power, where Nate can rip images from people's heads and make telekinetic images of them.

I agree with Iceman, Magma and Storm, elemental powers which the JLA are somewhat lacking in.

Colossus, I think, may actually have a shot. Sometimes, you just need a strongman, the warrior-artist, and one hell of a handy-man in tough situations. They've let other less powerful people on the team. Green Arrow is just a Batman with arrows. Hawkman and Hawkgirl just fly.

Probably Forge too, his technomagery would come in hella handy.

pr1983
i agree with all those bar colossus...

as back up maybe, but they dont need him with supes, ww and gl on the team imo...

and without the ring she's be strong, but the ring would be a huge asset to her...

eleveninches
THe only ones I think would make it into the JLA are:
Cable
Nate
Jean or Rachel (with FULL pheonix force)
Joseph/Magneto
Xorn
Forge

and maybe:
Magik
Rogue
Gambit (at same level as New Son).

I dont think JLA needs any more telepaths, so xavier would be useless.

eleveninches
They already have steel, who is a kind of colossus look-alike

ayjay
i think ice-man would fit in well.....they dun have an elemental i dun think....so he would be kool....and he's fun

i think phoenix and nate are too powerful to join.....

eleveninches
I dont see why the JLA would have any need for any elemental controlling charachters.

pr1983
pure variety... a fresh approach...

ScarletSpider
But Steel is more of a weak Iron Man ripoff.

As for Colossus, I wouldn't put him on the JLA team. Not on the "big 7" with Supes, WW, Batman, etc.

But on a team like Green Arrow, Hawkman, Black Canary, Flash, Green Lantern and Elongated man, they're missing some serious muscle. That's what he'd be good for. And he's solid steel. Once in awhile something will be able to affect Supes or WW's biological aspects, but it can't hurt steel.

I could see Wolverine on a black ops team, like JL Elite or something. Though with his age, he might actually fit in better at the JSA.

As for having elementals, some of the members will be vulnerable to temperature and elemental extremes. Someone made of ice, or magma, won't be affected, and can operate freely, as well control said elements. It's just a new power aspect that they're somewhat lacking in.

Mainstream
Cable could be in the JLA...what if Batman was in the Xmen..I know his not a mutant...but he can fight, is smart and has those "wonderful toys".

stormfront13
i can't see batan liking to be on the x-men- imo the only x-men they need are storm, phoenix, iceman, and magma. they are all really strong.

Tron
I think some people are thinking of this all wrong. It's not necessarily who's powerful enough to be in the JLA, but who's useful enough and can work with that team without having problems with other members. Like Wolverine, he wouldn't fit with them because of his tendency to kill every villian around. He would eventually bump heads with Superman and Batman, especially Batman. Now, a better team for him would be Justice League Elite or the Outsiders. Storm would be good addition, but unlike someone mentioned, she is NOT replacing Green Lantern. Forge, Jean, and others that have been mentioned would work well for the team too.

pr1983
in the context that she would be worthy to take the ring... thats all...

ScarletSpider
I don't think she would be, there are already a few GL's in the league, and she's already powerful enough.

I think, though he was an X-man very shortly, Sunfire (or his sister Sunpyre) would be a good addition. Sure, they have Firestorm the Atomic Man, but he's not always available. Next time some madman launches nukes, or causes a radioactive plant to blow up, you could have someone their who's immune to radiation, and I think he can absorb and metabolize it.

pr1983
good idea...

i meant if marvel earth needed a new gl... there are better candidates though...

ScarletSpider
They already have a couple, Dr. Spectrum and Quasar, but I digress, it would be interesting to see which Marvel characters could handle the GL ring. I posted a thread awhile ago in the general Comic Book Movie discussion area, "what if the two companies had merged early on" so we have all of our favorite characters and storylines from DC and Marvel combined. Now how would they affect one another. What Marvellites would be on the JLA? Would Superman have heard Rick Jones' Ham radio broadcast and arrived to help found the Avengers? etc.

pr1983
sweet... i'd have contributed...

ScarletSpider
I'll find it and give it a bump, there were only a few posts if I remember correctly.

Alpha Centauri
Nightcrawler....





......psss....








......psssshs.....







.....pshahahahahahahahahahahahaa.

Mace Skywalker
only in DC

Mace Skywalker
because they cant do anything else besides fly, lift heavy shit and run really fast.

pr1983
*cough*green lantern*cough*

ScarletSpider
Well that's what it's been made into recently. Though there have been various make-ups to the team. I wouldn't consider Green Arrow or Hawkman some of the best of the best, but they certainly contribute a lot. That's why I can't wait for Busiek to really get into his JLA run, he's said in interviews that he likes a big League, and I always like his character selections, renewing interest in old characters, making them fit into new situations and genuinly writing good stuff with characters who don't get enough spotlight. His treatment of Firebird during the Kang War storyline in Avengers made me genuinly like the character and want to see more of her.

Mainstream
Cable could make it...like He-man...he has the pooooooower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ScarletSpider
Well depending upon what power level. He's back to basic cyborg-merc level now. But X-Man could do it.

Mainstream
Cable anit a mutant Jesus no mo.....that sucks...but he still rocks and Xman...god rest his soul..could've made the JLA....if he was alive.

stormfront13
the jla needs someone who can cooperate on a team very good and canbe useful to everyone. storm can do that and she has great leadership. she is an above average fighter and has numerous ways of taking down any opponent. she can fly, shoot lightning, throw people or pin them to the ground, she can create mist as a great cover and can freeze people and things in a matter of seconds. she would be a huge asset th this team imo.

pr1983
that would depend on her role in the team imo...

stormfront13
yeah but she is a team player as well as good as solo

pr1983
i know, but the jla would have to need new recruits to get any1 else... their the strongest superhero team as it is...

stormfront13
yeah who would go on their team??

pr1983
nobody, only someone more powerful than themselves... there arent many enemies they can't beat with their current roster...

stormfront13
yeah i know that but who can storm beat and then replace on their team

pr1983
besides plastic man nobody really...

its not a case of beating one of them, its a case of bringing something fresh to the team that they need...

stormfront13
yeah- i still say storm cause she has a wide variety of powers and it seems like the DC universe has no one that can control weather

pr1983
i'd say they do... most marvel characters have a dc counterpart... not sure though...

stormfront13
I think hers is wonder woman- both once worshiped as goddesses, both beautiful, and both have amazing powers and both are really powerful

pr1983
maybe... definately a possibility...

stormfront13
yeah can't really think of anyone else who fits the description- but who would jeans be

pr1983
jean? hmm... not sure at all...

stormfront13
yeah so it might not be true but it does fit for some characters, well i thi8nk

pr1983
the jla as they are are too powerful already imo...

stormfront13
yeah they are

pr1983
i mean they have flash, green lantern, wonder woman and martian manhunter... and if they fail... oh hey, lets call superman... they can take almost any other group, they would slaughter the x-men...

stormfront13
yeah they would- whose on the jsa and can the x-men go on their team??

pr1983
jsa would also beat the x-men... they have some powerful members:

stormfront13
i know they would lose, but do you think any of the x-men can go into the JSA??

pr1983
not really, maybe if the sentinel and the flash retire...

stormfront13
ok

Jonny_Storm
Batman's their main thinker but he's only a detective, and they sometimes have Steel who's a good mechanic but I reckon Beast would be worth their while as he's such a good scientist and handy in a fight to.

stormfront13
yeah

DrDoom
Beak >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> JLA

'nuff said.

eleveninches
laughing out loud

stormfront13
i didn't beak was that good

Mainstream
Forge..could be the JLA inventor guy.

stormfront13
i don't think the JLA really needs an avenger
