If the biggest crime of DC's New 52 was that it eliminated the concept of legacy from the DC Universe, then the Justice Society of America was the most damaging casualty. But, gone though they may be, the JSA will never be forgotten. And they especially won't be if we promote the greatest generation's greatest heroes with one of these fun lists. So, without any further ado, here's my personal list of favorite JSAers. Hard one to narrow down, this list.

10. The Flash
The kindest man in the DC Universe.
A founding father of the team and the first of the Flashes, Jay is the pinnacle of a good guy. Not just a father figure to Barry Allen, Wally West, and Bart Allen, Jay also provided guidance to JSA young'uns like Stargirl and Jakeem Thunder. Affected by hard water fumes (no, not ice. Yes, there actually is a thing called hard water that isn't ice), Jay gained super speed, making him (at the time) the fastest man alive. Jay's top speed varies, based on the writer and story, but it's usually around Mach One.
But even when he was lapped by much faster Flashes, Jay always remained lovable and upbeat. And completely unwilling to retire. But Jay is easily the heart of the JSA, running with the willpower and earnestness the rest of the team needs as motivation.
People mistakenly view the JSA as old, uptight, "perfect" heroes and for the most part, they aren't. But Jay Garrick is. And that's why he's the bestest.
