The earlier post from Happy-Lingonberry inspired me to take a crack at a public domain Justice League.

From left to right as in the lovely Alex Ross portrait:

For Green Lantern: The Comet (MLJ) was space based, flew and controlled energy.

For The Flash: Red Robbins (Fox Features Syndicate). a rare speedster from the public domain. I had to really dig to find him and until today, I'd never heard of him. He's ripe for a rennaissance!

For Superman: Any of the Marvels. Captain Marvel is the most obvious, but if it's my team to build, I'd put Mary Marvel in his place to give the team a little more balance.

For Batman: Spy Smasher (Fawcett) is my pick. There are plenty of others who could fill the role, but I happen to really like Spy Smasher.

For Wonder Woman: Miss Victory (A.C. Comics) is a good pick. There are several star-spangled super-heroines in the public domain though, so others would fit the bill as well.

For Aquaman: Surprisingly difficult to find. No public domain heroes I could find had underwater powers except for things like mythological mer-people and sea gods. My best substitution is Crash Corrigan from the Undersea Kingdom serial of 1936. I happen to love Crash and he's a naval officer who has adventures in Atlantis. Captain Nemo would be another fair option, but if someone knows an obscure sea-based hero (or villain!) to swap for him, I'm all ears.

For Martian Manhunter: Plastic Man (Quality) has the shape shifting and while MM also has super strength, telepathy, flight, invisibility and density control, there's just no character out there in the public domain that covers all those bases. Plastic Man shape changes and after a fashion can fly or glide, plus if you don't notice that your filing cabinet is suddenly red and yellow with eyes, he has invisibility too!

John Carter awakens on Barsoom.

Before he can even get his bearings, he is attacked by an unimaginable foe.

But he is not alone.

Reunited with his faithful calot, Woola, hunted by Nazis, giant apes and worse, can Carter prevail over his enemies? What about his friends?
