Current Membership

The team-leader from the 2018 run onwards, who decided to form the new team in response to magical threats. She has her own page, naturally.

All-Loving Hero: As ever. This aspect of her character is both praised and criticised by allies and enemies alike, but it proves crucial in defeating and potentially rehabilitating Circe .

. Deal with the Devil: Bargains with the Upside-Down Man to get another crack at Circe, who's wielding the full power of Hecate .

. Naïve Newcomer: For the world of magic - while she's got a fair bit of experience with gods and monsters, she is very quickly reminded by several people (including Batman) that she is not dealing with anything so clear-cut here. Rather, she's dealing with a whole bunch of humans with the power of gods and much less well-defined morality - plus, as she's also warned, they won't take well to an all-new Justice League stomping around in their business.

Rookie Red Ranger: See Naïve Newcomer, though she shapes up fast.

Detective Chimp

An immortal and incredibly intelligent chimp, thanks to drinking from the right spring at the right time (or possibly wrong time, considering his generally glum demeanour). Now owner of the Oblivion Bar, and very reluctant Nightmaster of Myrra.

Kirk Langstrom a.k.a. Man-Bat

Formerly a Batman villain, he's finally figured out a formula that allows him to keep the benefits of the Man-Bat (mostly) while also retaining a more or less human form, as well as his mind. Now, he's trying to atone for his misdeeds ("to show the world I have more to offer than occasionally trying to eat Batman") by acting as the JLD's support guy by applying scientific principles to magic.

Animalistic Abomination: As one of the new Lords of Chaos and after Klarion gets in his head and preys on his insecurities to influence him to create a new, possibly magic based formula . The result is "something out a Cronenberg film" with far too many mouths for anyone's comfort.

Badass Bookworm: Excited whenever he gets the opportunity to research something strange, enjoys research, and is a fair hand in a fight when it comes to it.

Driven to Madness: Temporarily, on two occasions: once by the Upside-Down Man and once by Klarion the Witch-Boy.

Heroic Self-Deprecation: He is deeply anxious about his contribution to the team, and desperately wants to be helpful - which leaves him easy prey for Klarion's mental influence.

Mad Scientist: Mostly in the past tense, though he does still tend to come up with strange concoctions when the need arises.

Science Versus Magic: Averted - if anything, the weirdness of magic just makes Kirk, a former Mad Scientist himself, all the more interested.

The Smart Guy: He's a former Mad Scientist (mostly) who applies the scientific method to magic. Since magic has rules and Kirk has a very open mind, it actually works surprisingly well - he manages to break Nabu's spell on Khalid Nassour that trapped him in the form of a vase. That's right, he figured out how to break a spell by Doctor Fate . That takes doing.

In life, Boston Brand was an acrobat, and a massive jerk... until he was shot during his act one night. As the ghost Deadman, he seeks to do good in the world as penance for his behavior in life.

John Constantine

See John Constantine.

The daughter of Giovanni Zatara, one of the world's greatest magicians, and a proficient magician herself. Can make anything she wants happen by saying words backwards. Unless something is messing up her spells.

Khalid Nassour a.k.a. Doctor Fate

Egyptian-American medical student, great-nephew of Kent Nelson (the original Doctor Fate) and the previous Doctor Fate. After spending much of the first arc trapped inside a vase by Nabu, he's released by Man-Bat and essentially browbeats Nabu into not only letting him be Fate again, but letting him have the driving seat.
