Who do you want "Justice League" to go after first?

Who do you want "Justice League" to go after first?
they are supposed to be a proactive (hate that word now) team..
So who do you want them to go after first?

Deathstroke maybe? he has been a thorn in EVERYONES side for like.. EVER (Since Identity Crisis at least)

Doctor Light perhaps? .. Don't know just how many he and Merlyn killed in Star City... but its ALOT..


Ohh and Sue Dibny... need I say more?

[The Xenos]

George W Bush. Oh wait. Ellis already did that.

[TCJohnson]

Dan Didio? That man must pay!

[brundlefly]

Ohh and Sue Dibny... need I say more?

uh....did you mean Jean Loring? As Sue Dibny is somewhat beyond the reach of the League, being dead and all, and hasn't done anything to deserve being hunted down even if she were still alive.

I read that as yet another reason to hunt down Dr. Light.

My feeling is that this concept goes best with establishment types that people don't take down for political reasons, like Dr. Doom or the Kingpin . . . or hey, Lex Luthor! He's fallen pretty far since the last time he was that untouchable, though.

[Sabrinaset]

I say we should send them after more common criminals ... like, I heard there was some Assyrian library thief running around the country somewhere. He has thick eyebrows.

[Perry Holley]

Another vote for Dr. Light.

Although I doubt Didio will let Light finally get what he deserves, as Didio seems to relish Light's role as 'the rapist who gets away with it'.

[PatrickG]

Dr. Light is good.

Lex Luthor is also good.

After being proven as a fraud as president, spending a year fighting a legal battle only to kill dozens of people and get convicted of terrorism, he's running around out there with a rainbow assortment of Kryptonite, launching Injustice Gang after Injustice Gang, bailing criminals out via dummy corporations and cackling in his lair... all without having served a full day in prison since his robot inventions broke him out. I suppose you might count interplanetary exile but he seems to be making the most of that too.

Superman may be content to wait until Luthor strikes and deal with him as necessary (kinda like how the U.S. is treating Bin Laden) but I'd imagine Kara Zor-El, who never got payback for his Black Kryptonite stunt, might have other things to say... and most of this Justice League type seem like the types that wouldn't wait for Luthor to commit a crime before maybe kicking in his door and leaving him doped down to non-super-genius levels at Arkham's doorstep.

Ra's al Ghul would be nice too, as would Vandal Savage. Any villain with a "legitimate" foothold needs someone to go Samson/Robin Hood on them, steal their money, break their buildings, scare off their employees.

You're a murderer. You're a millionnaire. Now, I'm not asking for super-heroes who will kill you (that's so 90s) but howabout super-heroes who will outright steal your money and break everything you own, leaving you so penniless you can't afford a lawyer. That's the kind of proactive I'd like to see.

And I'd like to see the heroes claim that they aren't liable for civil damages and refuse to show up in court.

There's a mobster in Gotham? While Batman is gathering evidence to convict him, just go in and burn the guy's house to the ground and hack his bank account and smash his car.

I'd kinda dig that.

[Charles RB]

Ra's al Ghul, Lex Luthor, the League of Assassins (there is a LEAGUE of ASSASSINS! With a BASE!), H.I.V.E. ...

And I'm with Patrick. What, realistically, stopped Spider-Man from once a week smashing into Fisk's office, chucking his papers out the window, and then head-slapping him while yelling "baldie baldie baldie BALDIE BALDIE!!"? Harrass him into defeat.

I'd actually like to see them go after some classic Silver Age JLA villians. I think it would be interesting to see Robinson's take on that.

[Chiroptera]

Who should they go after?

Any villain who crosses the 'capital offense' line.
And I do mean anyone. I don't care if its Jimmy da Hat, the two bit jersey thug. If they've done enough to get in the front section of the paper, gained the notice of the FBI, or posed a threat to multiple people at once then I wanna see the League go after them.

Super or non-super. Notorious or completely unheard of.

I MISS the days when the heroes tracked down the villains before the baddies had time to hide nuclear bombs under neath a major city, I'm really looking forward to a 'pro-active' Justice League.

[OzBat!]

Oracle has been known to fund some of the Birds' operations by hacking the accounts of various nasties. Great fun! She should do that more often.

[TCJohnson]

Wouldn't it be great if they were just going after the people who were mean to them as kids? Not real villains but high school bullies....normal people they are just really going to fuck with for a while.

[Alan Lynch]

Isn't Ra's Al Ghul locked up in Arkham in a drug-induced coma or something? Batman boned him royally after the Resurrection storyline, so unless that's already been changed he's dealt with.

Light or Luthor for me. Light really needs some sort of comeuppance, and Luthor's been doing his thing for way too long now.

[TCJohnson]

I doubt it is Doctor Light. Rucka dropped hints that the Specter is going after Dr. Light in the Final Crisis tie-in.

[PatrickG]

Given the Spectre's methods (he kinda tends to revisit crimes upon people)...

Please tell me nobody else thinks that the Spectre is going to rape Dr. Light to death...

I'd so read that.

I would love to see that in a comic. Just the sheer exasperating randomness of it would give the Kingpin fits.

[LewisH]

the JSA and Checkmate haven't been able to find him, although somehow Mary Marvel tracked him down no problem. Then again he ONLY wiped out a whole country. They would have to go after Cheshire if they cared about stuff like that.
They could go after Superman-Prime but he would kick their ass. I know, how
about Simon Cowell. Nah, he's too tough for them too. I guess Tina Tequila would be about their speed these days.

[Charles RB]

It'd be like the moment in Ultimate Spidey where Peter just webbed Fisk's feet to the floor. Only more often.

"Oh sorry KINGPIN OF CRIME, I was eating this really messy takeaway and I accidentally spilled half of it all over your new EVIL CRIMINAL car."

[Red Jack]

They should go after whoever approved the book and then, self destruct.

[Pink Bat Maxine]

Nonsense. Robinson knows what he's doing. I'm sure of it.

[Pink Bat Maxine]

Oh, and they should go after Super Duper:

Who needs Amazo when you can have a freaky chimera made up from the bodies of leaguers?

[MPagar]

Mary Marvel first. I'm hoping the JLA systematically go after anyone involved in Countdown.

[The Ray]

Heroes who kill.

Now that'll be interesting.

[sschroeder]

They could go after the things that really matter to comics fans.

1. Late comics. When a comic is shipping late, leaving you wistfully trying to remember all that story you've already thrown money after with no sign of completion forthcoming, these guys step into the picture. Maybe super-heroes can finally tackle this problem.

2. Comics that suck. You see them everywhere. These are the ones you don't buy. You read the terrible reviews. So you know these comics must be stopped now! These comics are giving somebody pleasure. No matter. That's no reason to keep them in publication. It is a waste of paper that could be used for comics you'd like better! (No matter that you are out of cash to buy another comic in a given month.) The Justice League will step in and terminate these comics! (Or they'll decide to protect these comics instead in a shocking plot twist! If you want me to decide, then you can pay me to write the comic!)

3. Premature cancellation of scifi television shows. This new Justice League will have a Neilsen box and download these shows on a continuous loop. (I assume a Green Lantern battery powered work station can do that kind of thing.) If this doesn't boost the ratings enough, they'll really have to get creative!

4. Rising gas prices. This Justice League is not going to sit around proposing turning food into more gasoline, so we can extend our little golden age of driving around with cell phones and iPods a bit longer. They will pummel gas prices directly! (Or in a gargantuan plot twist, the very cars that use this gasoline! Thus lowering prices.)

5. Vetting presidential candidates. Debates? Background checks? Leave that to the media. This Justice League will really put presidential hopefuls to the test!

6. Loneliness. The Justice League will find companionship for all those single people out there!

7. Cancer and other diseases. Supergirl will lead this initiative!

8. Job security. This Justice League certainly won't fire anybody. And they'll get out there and find people jobs!


Seriously, though, looking forward to this one. And I hope it is worth my time and money!

I'm pretty sure Dr. Light is taken care of.
