Justice League The First 10 SuperVillains The JLA Ever Fought In Comics

The Justice League formed when the greatest superheroes from DC Comics had to team up to defeat a threat that was too powerful for just one hero to tackle alone. The team officially started in The Brave and the Bold, but they quickly moved into their own comic book series. Since then, the team has remained the cornerstone of DC Comics.

However, while the team started in 1960 in The Brave and the Bold #28 by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky, that was not actually the first time they teamed. Later in Justice Leauge, the story of their first team-up was told, and then even later, a missing story was revealed that proved that they fought some major villains before their comic book started.

10 White Martians

The first time the Justice League teamed up to work together was before they became an official team. Green Arrow uncovered this story in Justice League of America #144 by Steve Englehart and Dick Dillin, and it turned out the Justice League hid this adventure from the public. The villains battled were the White Martians, who had captured Martian Manhunter.

All six founders were there, although Hal Jordan had yet to become Green Lantern yet. They ended up hiding this battle so they wouldn’t raise the already high martian fears of the public. The Justice League animated series uses this origin as well.

9 Appellaxian Warriors

Since the Justice League refused to acknowledge the battle with the White Martians, their official first teaming was when they battled the Appellaxian Warriors. This story played out in flashback in Justice League of America #9 by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky.

The newest member, Green Arrow, wanted to hear how the team formed, and they told the story of the Appellaxian Warriors attacking Earth, and it took the combined force of all the Justice League founders to stop them. This was also the first time they fought with Green Lantern, although they didn’t know he was the same Hal Jordan who helped them against the White Martians.

In The Brave and the Bold #30, the Justice League battled Amazo. His powers include the ability to replicate the superpowers of any superhero he comes actors. Professor Ivo created the villain. He quickly became one of the most dangerous villains the Justice League faced early in their career together since he could replicate all their powers. The battle began when the Justice League members had their superpowers short out in singles battles and quickly realized a supervillain was responsible.

5 Despero

Justice League of America #1 arrived next as the team finally got their own comic book series. The first villain that the team faced was Despero. This was not the monstrous, super-powerful Despero that he eventually became, but was instead a weak, small man who used mind-control and placing the Justice League members in various battles for his own amusement.

He eventually transported each member of the Justice League to the far reaches of the universe. He thought he won, not realizing they were strong enough to break his control and return to Earth for the final confrontation.

The fourth issue of Justice League of America featured an alien known as Xandor, but he was not a villain, and it was all a misunderstanding.

The team then believed Green Arrow betrayed them, but that was all due to Doctor Destiny’s plans.
