15 Underrated Justice League Members

13. Jesse Quick

Study up on your math, kids. It’ll help you. Johnny Chambers did, and he discovered a mathematical formula to give himself super speed, becoming the All-Star Squadron member Johnny Quick. He married fellow Squadroner Liberty Belle, and they had a lovely daughter, Jesse.

Johnny taught her his formula, and she took on a new role as super speedstress Jesse Quick. She was so good at this that she was Wally West’s handpicked successor to join the Titans when they returned to active duty. She worked hard on that team and, despite some personal problems, lasted until they disbanded. She later took on her mother’s identity and became the new Liberty Belle with the reformed Justice Society of America post – One Year Later.

There she found the love of her life, Rick Tyler, aka Hourman.  They became a stunningly cute couple who are among my favorites of all time. She would later take back her Jesse Quick identity after Barry Allen’s return, eventually joining the JLA itself. That’s right, she’s served with the Titans, JLA, and Justice Society.

Lady’s a triple threat.

12. Stargirl

Okay, okay, I’ll throw a New 52 Justice Leaguer on here. But not one from the main team, one who served in the Justice League of America and the Justice League United.

Courtney Whitmore, aka Stargirl, is a personal favorite DC character of mine. The step daughter of Pat Duggan, aka Stripsey, the sidekick to the Star-Spangled Kid, Court stole the Kid’s Cosmic Converter belt and took on a role as the new Star-Spangled Kid. She kept this role until Starman Jack Knight gave her his cosmic rod. At that point, she took the name Stargirl. Working with the JSA and Pat – now in a big armored suit and calling himself S.T.R.I.P.E. – Courtney became Blue Valley’s greatest hero since Kid Flash.

She was tapped to work with the JLA under Steve Trevor’s leadership. She was picked by Amanda Waller as the team’s public face for PR purposes, underscoring the team’s true purpose as a possible hit squad designed to take out the regular Justice League should the need arise.

After that team disbanded, she joined many of its members on the Justice League United, where she worked until that team disbanded, as well.
