Justice League spin off title in theDC Comics universe. It replaced the cancelled "Justice League International " (formerly "Justice League Europe ") and ran for eighteen issues from 1994 to 1996. It was an attempt by DC to create a Justice League book that was more in line with the style ofImage Comics of the time.Fact|date=July 2007Overview
Several heroes split from the main Justice League over dissatisfaction with the League's association with the United Nations. These characters form their own Justice League, based out in Mount Thunder, Colorado. The team is led by
Captain Atom and consists of Maxima, Blue Beetle,Booster Gold , and Amazing Man. They were later joined by Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond), Plastique, and the Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna.Carol Ferris became the administrator of their Mount Thunder facility. The characters never referred to the team as "Extreme Justice" in the series; however, they were called that in an issue of "Justice League America".Although at one point there were three Justice League groups in action (Extreme Justice itself plus "Justice League America" and "Justice League Task Force"), there was very little unity between the teams and a strong sense of rivalry among the respective leaders,
Wonder Woman , Captain Atom, and theMartian Manhunter , regarding which team would succeed in the pursuit of justice.Notably, Captain Atom led the team in an invasion of
Bialya yet again. ["JLA Incarnations #6"] This was when the current ruler, Queen Beatriz, was rebuilding the Extremists. Most of Extreme Justice, having lost friends to the group before, did not want to tolerate the existence of these entities. They invaded the country and destroyed what they thought were robots, but were in fact cyborgs, made out of the Queen's own subjects. They had allegedly volunteered, a whole army's worth, but Captain Atom destroys all the facilities and threatens worse if Beatriz continues. This particular incident was the last straw and all versions of the Justice League were disbanded.In the summer of 1996, all three Justice League series were cancelled and soon replaced by an ongoing monthly titled "JLA".
Team name
In "Extreme Justice" #0, Blue Beetle referred to them specifically as just the Justice League.
