Welcome to watch mojo and today we're exploring the origins of the Justice Society of America.

The Justice Society of America was cleaning up the streets before you were in diapers.

Before this team unites for the black Adam film, we'll look back at how the super team came to be.

Who's your favorite member of the Justice Society of America.

Let us know in the comments below the brittle remains of the Justice Society of America how fitting to find you holed up in a museum with the other antiques decades before fans saw a group of Dc Legends Team up for 2021 Snyder Cut batman, the Flash and a green lantern named Alan scott were called in for a secret meeting.

A government agent asked them to covertly take out a nazi stronghold.

When the three of them got captured during the mission, Doctor Fate and the hero, our man came in to display their talents.

Unfortunately, the mission gets ridiculously complicated and just plain ridiculous when Adolf Hitler uses a mystical spear to summon an army of Valkyries.

But the heroes aren't out of backup yet.

Hawkman Sandman and the atom are all literally pulled into the battle to the specter and Superman round out the team by making big appearances at the last second.

Not impressed after successfully working together against a common enemy.

The heroes agree that a new alliance should be formed.

Superman lays the groundwork for this team to be called the Justice Society of America.

So what do you call your team anyway, a work in progress in our world.

This small group of heroes was first seen attending a meeting in 1940 Batman Robin and Superman sat the proceedings out so they could keep criminals in check while their allies met all the heroes from the first unofficial Js.

A mission reunited and we're joined by a young hero slash audience surrogate named johnny Thunder.

They're meeting marked the first time in comic history where a group of heroes agreed to form a team.

It's obvious you still care about this team.

If you didn't, he wouldn't have kept watch over all of this as an icebreaker.

The Justice Society of America swapped tales of their most exciting exploits.

Some stories were definitely more interesting than others.

Boom, are you looking?

Why do I even talk to you guys everywhere else that story killed?

That's the whole story.

After every member got a chance to step into the spotlight, they were all thrust into their first on the books mission.

Mm hmm.

Why did you bring me here?

Doctor Fate says you're a big deal.

I don't see it.

The FBI asked the heroes if they could help root out spies that were embedded throughout the United States Instead of all going to one place, all the members of the Justice Society of America scattered to the winds and went on their own epic solo adventures.

This had the added bonus of giving readers an opportunity to learn about the abilities and personalities of characters they may not be familiar with you are of value clark.

Once the team had finished their missions, they reunited to let their FBI contact know of their success.

This victory allowed the team to keep operating and for them to make history in other ways.

All we want is Justice Justice.

Well, everything we've heard about you guys is a little blurry when it comes to justice.

Shortly after the team was founded in the pages of all star comics, Wonder Woman made her grand debut, her immense powers and battle prowess made her a strong candidate for the team.

So the Justice Society of America naturally asked Wonder Woman to come aboard to be their secretary.

What is the secretary?

Well I do everything I go where he tells me to go and I do what he tells me to do.

Well where I'm from.

That's called slavery.

I really like her fortunately they eventually realized they were wasting her talents by making her take notes and she started going on missions.

They were also lucky they had Wonder Woman around when a team of supervillains known as the injustice society of America showed up for the first time.

Our man mm hmm.

Welcome to the show consisting of criminals with magical abilities like wizards and rogues with powerful mental abilities like brainwave the alliance nearly managed to take the heroes all out fortunately Green Lantern helped them get out of their jam but the team would soon run into a challenge, they couldn't overcome with powers alone.

The Sandman and the star spangled kid are both dead.

You were their leader.

What's your excuse?

A super slump in comic sales in the 1940s caused the creators to suddenly stop making stories about the Justice Society of America and Why didn't you fight back?

We did for as long as we could within the DC universe.

There was a different explanation for why the heroes no longer work together on this historic team.

On one fateful day, the Justice Society of America was suddenly asked to go to space.

They were shocked to find that someone had built the team a floating base.

Unfortunately, this was just a giant trap set up by a shady villain to capture them all.

After the Justice Society freed themselves and brought the villain to the authorities.

The team was asked to testify before Congress.

It turned out the villain was a notorious spy.

While the Justice Society quickly pointed out that they were against the antagonist, Congress didn't believe the good guys, they wanted us to work for them.

They wanted us to unmask then you said no, we refused to play ball when the heroes were asked to reveal their secret identities.

As a show of good faith, they refused the Justice Society of America decided to disband rather than risk exposing their true selves, they forced us out of the skies and off the streets.

Yeah, we were ripped away from our families while trying to protect them.

Once the team was out of the picture, alliances like the Justice League rose up to fill the void but the Js A.

Wasn't completely out of the game.

It was later revealed that members of this good alliance lived on a completely different world than the one where the Justice League operated After a wicked alliance of villains finds a way to travel between two earths.

The two good groups teamed up to combat foes is a temporary alliance.

Yeah.

Do you have any idea we can find this successful collaboration opened the door for the Justice Society of America to return in many crossover comics and solo stories.

While they didn't take the top spot back from the Justice League, the team was still welcomed by fans again.

Instead of ignoring the fact that the heroes were around for World War Two stories often recognized that the heroes were getting up there in age.

How convenient that in my absence age has worn you down to your decrepit knees and the team still continued to bring on breakout characters like Power Girl.

This alliance wasn't ready to go quietly into that good night quite yet.

The best friends that I have carter but I don't know if we'll ever be what the was the Justice Society of America would later step out of comics and make appearances in a number of animated shows and films but how it looks like we have to finish the job.

We started years ago.

While several iterations of the team also appeared in live action programs.

One of the most notable versions of this alliance appeared on Star Girl.

Years after the majority of the team was decimated by the injustice society, A group of young people used the items the alliance left behind to become heroes.

Anyone else have deja vu?

I do.

Wasn't that a fun night time to kill the J.

S.

A.

Again.

This series was a great way to prepare wider audiences for the debut of the Dc.

Use Justice Society in black adam, they call themselves the justice society, an organization that believes in fighting for truth and justice.

The film's lineup will definitely include Hawkman doctor, Fate cyclone and atom smasher.

We're willing to bet that plenty of sparks will fly when they cross paths with the intimidating black adam.

Hopefully we'll get to learn more about them before they rush into any dangerous battles.

Heroes don't kill.

Well I do.

We said we would end this war.

Too many people have died.

We can stop this.

This super team broke new ground in the 1940s by just existing while they may never be as popular as they were when they debuted, there's no denying they brought important elements to the table.

The Justice Society of America is a nostalgic team of the past that helped lead the superhero genre into an exciting future.
