Fan CastingJustice Society of America

Like much of the Golden Age of Heroes, the creation of the Justice Society was initially spurred on following the arrival of Wonder Woman in Man's World. In saving sitting president Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt's life at the 1939 World's Fair, she inspired others to come forward and use their powers for good, including Alan Scott, who would become known as the Green Lantern.[1] Despite this, Wonder Woman was not a member of the team's initial lineup; when the team held their first official meeting on November 22nd, 1940, she was not among the group, which consisted of Sandman, the Spectre, Al Pratt, the Flash, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Hourman, and Green Lantern. During this initial meeting, after introductions and photographs, the team somewhat goaded Doctor Fate into using into using the power granted to him by the Helm of Fate to perform what he considered to be a parlor trick- telling them how many children they were each going to have. He first revealed to the Atom that he'd have at least one child with his crush, Mary, much to the group's amusement. Alan Scott rejected the offer, not wanting to know too much about the future of his own personal life. When Fate attempted to perform this trick on Jay Garrick, he instead had a vision of Per Degaton and the league's many eventual sidekicks and children, lost. Afterwards, they quickly helped Fate remove his helmet to prevent him from being overwhelmed by this vision
