Warning : SPOILERS ForJustice League : No judge # 4andGreen Arrow Annual # 2 .
It seems that fabled writer Scott Snyder is drawing heavily off of the classicSuper Friendscartoon in developing his newJustice League . This may not seem to be much of a revelation , given previous reputation that Snyder would be bringing The Legion of Doom ( the group of villain chair by Lex Luthor who were the master opposer of the Super Friends in later seasons ) into the mainstream DC Comics universe .
But recent events advise Snyder has been suck up far more deeply from this well of divine guidance than was previously seeming .

The first confidential information of the influence came inJustice League : No Justice # 1 , where the villain Brainiac gathered a collection of the world ’s most powerful heroes and villains ( including fellow member of the Justice League , TitansandTeen Titans ) to face a new terror bonk as The Omega Titans . Brainiac described the Omega Titans as beings of legend , born of the four rudimentary energies that built the world .
The wording is dissimilar , but the verbal description is quite similar to the institution of the first season ofSuper Friends-“created from the cosmic legends of the macrocosm . "
The 2nd issue ofJustice League : No JusticesawGreen Arrow as the last hero on Earth , or at least the only one adequate to of responding after most of Earth ’s superheroes left behind by Brainiac were placed into coma . Green Arrow Annual # 2explores this story in more point , prove how Oliver Queen resist his ground against one of Brainiac ’s pilotless aircraft ship and traverse down those responsible for the psychical attack that left Earth defenceless .
The estimation of Green Arrow as the last hero on Earth when The Justice League is sidelined resembles a first time of year installment ofSuper Friends,“Gulliver ’s Gigantic Goof . " Notable as the only installment ofSuper Friendsin which The Emerald Archer made an show , the report involved a well - mean but overenthusiastic scientist named Dr. Gulliver , who attempted to work out the problem of overpopulation with a psychiatrist ray that scale down grownup man to a tallness of two inches . When all of the core Superfriends were captured by Dr. Gulliver , Green Arrow was mobilize by the junior Super Friends , Wendy and Marvin , to come to their rescue .
But perhaps the most open tribute toSuper Friendsyet come in the conclusions of bothJustice League : No Justice # 4andGreen Arrow one-year # 2.Both Good Book feature a aspect in which Martian Manhunter entrusts Oliver Queen with the possession of a box . The capacity of the loge are not described , beyond J’onn J’onzz say it contains " the key to destroy The Justice League should the need arise . "
The idea of a loge turn back something that could destroy the entire Justice League lay at the heart of theChallenge Of The Super Friendsepisode " Super Friends : pillow In Peace . " The instalment infix Noxium - a crystalline component similar to Kryptonite , composed of all of the elements which weaken the members of The Justice League . The Legion of Doom was able to acquire the last Noxium crystal on Earth , but ground their architectural plan to destroy The Super Friends thwarted after they erroneously used the crystal on a series of robot doubles .
While it may seem far - fetched that Scott Snyder might go so far as to introduce something like Noxium into the mainstream DC Comics persistence , his old mini - series -Dark Nights : Metal- was solely built around the unusual element unique to the DC Comics Universe , such as Nth Metal and Prometheium . That series also include a rather collateral computer address toTeen Titans Go ! , with Cyborg drawing inspiration from " a sealed song " to psych himself up during a key battle .
The one certainty is thatJustice Leaguefans everywhere will be anxiously awaiting the arrival ofJustice League # 1 in a few calendar week .
Justice League : No Justice # 4andGreen Arrow Annual # 2are now available from DC Comics .
