History
The informally known Detroit League is actually the second iteration of the more well-known Justice League of America. The first team disbanded following the destruction of the Justice League Satellite during the Martian invasion of Earth (Pre-Crisis). Aquaman, a founding member of the original League, possessed the authority to disband the team, and did so, only to reconstitute it with a fresh new roster. One of Aquaman's recruits was a brash, young man named Hank Heywood III. Hank was the grandson of the Golden Age hero, Commander Steel. Steel wanted to see his grandson prosper as a hero, so he leased one of his Detroit facilities to the League as a base of operations. The facility was maintained by Commander Steel's longtime colleague, Dale Gunn. Aquaman recruited several more fresh faces to the team including the street urchin, Gypsy, the mysterious Vixen, and the Latino hero, Vibe. Rounding out the team were JLA veterans Zatanna, the Martian Manhunter, and the Elongated Man.
