The League leads. When there is a Crisis, the other heroes -- and the world -- look to us first to deal with it, to rally others. We set the example. 
The Justice League began when Earth was invaded by Appellaxian warriors sent to the planet to see who could conquer Earth first, as a means of determining who would become the new ruler of their home planet. Each alien warrior possessed a different power or ability, and attacked a different portion of Earth, which drew the individual attention of the Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Wonder Woman (Diana Prince), Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter. While most of the Appellaxian invaders were defeated by the superheroes individually, the heroes themselves fell prey one by one to a single competitor's attack; they soon discovered that only by working together could they defeat the competitor. Superman and Batman joined them in defeating the remaining Appellaxians. Afterwards, the group decided that they should form a permanent organization to confront menaces that required a similar pooling of resources, and dubbed themselves the Justice League of America.[1]
During this period, the team operated from a secret cave outside of the small town of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island. They also had a team "mascot" that tagged along on some missions, a teenage sidekick named Lucas "Snapper" Carr, noted for speaking in "hipster" dialect. Snapper had earned this status in the team's first appearance, after helping them to defeat Starro the Conqueror.
The team eventually recruited the Atom (Ray Palmer) and Green Arrow (Oliver Queen). After a vicious battle with Wotan which involved former members of the Justice Society, the team decided to bring in Hawkman (Carter Hall) to act as a liaison between the League and the JSA.
The team soon expanded to include Elongated Man, Zatanna, Firestorm, and Hawkgirl.
Snapper was tricked into betraying the secret location of the cave headquarters to the Joker, which resulted in his resigning from the team in shame [2].
Equipment: None known.
