* SexinessScore: {{Discussed|Trope}} In issue #2 of ''Formerly Known as the Justice League'', Beatriz is [[EatingTheEyeCandy watching]] the HotMenAtWork and giving them scores OnAScaleFromOneToTen, much to Sue's shock who says it's a juvenile and sexist thing to do. But Sue's even more distressed when Bea tells her that her husband Ralph is a ''"four"''.
->'''Fire:''' ''[[[EatingTheEyeCandy watching]] a [[HotMenAtWork handsome worker]] hauling their stuff]'' What do you think Sue-- a seven? \\
'''Sue:''' Him? Wake up and smell the Streisand-- he's ''[[IncompatibleOrientation gay]]''.\\
'''Fire:''' How do ''you'' known?\\
'''Sue:''' Well, for one thing ''he's'' been studying Max's butt the way ''you've'' been studying ''his''.\\
'''Fire:''' I still think he's a seven. Maybe even an eight.\\
'''Sue:''' You don't actually rate men [[OnAScaleFromOneToTen on a scale from one to ten]], do you?\\
'''Fire:''' Of ''course'' I do.\\
'''Sue:''' Don't you think that's a tad ''juvenile?'' Not to mention ''sexist?''\\
'''Fire:''' You're only saying that because you're married to a ''four''.\\
'''Sue:''' ''Excuse'' me?\\
'''Fire:''' Nothing to be ''ashamed'' of. I'm sure Ralph has his ''endearing'' qualities--Most of which ''escape'' me at this moment--But you've got to admit--On the ''physical'' level--He's a ''four''.\\
'''Sue:''' I'll have you know that my husband is ''loving'', ''compassionate''... he has a ''wonderful'' sense of humor, he--\\
'''Fire:''' He's a four.\\
'''Sue:''' He has ''[[RubberMan flexible]]'' body parts!\\
'''Fire:''' ''[suddenly interested]'' ''[[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility Hmmmmm]]''. But how well does he ''use'' them?\\
'''Sue:''' ''[hesitantly]'' How well does he--?\\
'''Fire:''' ''See?'' A ''definite'' four. Now ComicBook/PlasticMan! ''There'' is [[PowerPerversionPotential someone who knows how to]]--\\
'''Ralph:''' ''[walks up behind them]'' Hey ladies -- Whatcha doing?\\
'''Sue:''' ''[whisphering to herself]'' Oh my god... I'm married to a ''four!''\\
'''Ralph:''' ''What'd'' you say sweetie?\\
'''Fire:''' ''[looking at another guy]'' Now ''there's'' an ''eight!''\\
'''Ralph:''' You're not doing that thing where you rate men on a scale of one to ten, ''are'' you, Sue?\\
'''Fire:''' Oh. Does ''she'' do that?\\
'''Ralph:''' [[HypocriticalHumor All the time]]. I'd be ''embarrassing''... except she always tells me I'm a ''perfect ten!''\\
'''Fire:''' ''[looking smugly at Sue]'' Perfect?\\
'''Sue:''' In his ''way''.\\
'''Ralph:''' ''My wife'', on the other hand, couldn't be ''rated''--'Cause [[BrokeTheRatingScale she's off the scale!]]\\
'''Sue:''' That's my hubby!\\
'''Ralph:''' ''[walking away]'' Well... gotta go talk to Max\\
'''Sue:''' He ''is'' a four--But [[HappilyMarried I really love him]].\\
'''Fire:''' ''[from the distance]'' WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M A FOUR?!\\
'''Fire:''' He ''heard'' you\\
'''Sue:''' Y'think?

''Super Buddies'' was a ComicBook/JusticeLeague-related duology by Creator/KeithGiffen, Creator/JMDeMatteis, Creator/KevinMaguire spinning off from ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational''. The first series was the ''Formerly Known as Justice League'' miniseries in 2004, followed by the "I Can't Believe It's Not Justice League" arc in ''JLA Classified''.

In ''Formerly Known as the Justice League'', Maxwell Lord, in a desperate bid to remain relevant, gathers up former members of the Justice League International and sets up shop in Queens, New York. Unfortunately for him, the locals are not too thrilled at the prospect of having a bunch of C-list superheroes in their neighborhood, and the heroes themselves are ambivalent about working together again. And then aliens invade Queens, seeking the return of Lord's assistant L-Ron.

In "I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League", the team is accidentally sent to Hell thanks to Booster Gold's stupidity, and their attempts to escape cause them to end up in an alternate dimension with evil versions of themselves.

!!This series contains examples of:

* HeteroLifePartners: Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. It's even lampshaded when Blue Beetle accuses Booster of acting like a jilted lover, and Booster agrees that ''that is exactly what he feels like''.
* LargeHam: Manga Khan is so prone to overwrought soliloquy that his assistant J-Lo has to stop him or else he'll just go on and on.
* MoreThanMindControl: During their imprisonment by Roulette, the Super Buddies are all placed under hypnotic suggestion so that they don't even consider escaping. Unfortunately for Roulette, the suggestions are in English, and thus Fire manages to break free and release the others.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Under the influence of Roulette's mind control, Mary Marvel beats the crap out of Captain Atom, nearly killing him. When she comes back to herself, she's horrified that she was capable of such violence.
* OddFriendship: Over the course of the two series, sweet and innocent Mary Marvel becomes friends with dirty-minded Fire, even moving in with her in the second series.
* TokenWholesome: Mary Marvel is so sweet and innocent that she barely comprehends it when her teammates make fun of her.
