9''Justice Machine'' was a comic created in 1981 by Mike Gustovich. After five or six issues (and one annual) from the short-lived Noble Comics, it was restarted at Comico first as a four-issue series (with a team-up by a group called the ComicBook/{{Elementals}}) before graduating to a regular series.
10
11The group itself was a team of super powered operatives serving the government of a planet called Georwell. As it turned out, Georwell was a [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Big Brother-styled]] PoliceState. In their pursuit of Maxinor, a rebel who was opposed to the Georwellian government, they came to Earth where they began to realize the truth about Georwell, especially after being set up by their superior, Chief Prosecutor Zarren.

13!!The Justice Machine is composed of:
14
15* '''Challenger''' (Jaiime Conrad): TheLeader. A brilliant marksman and strategist. He's starting to feel his age.
16* '''Diviner''' (Tessei Molleng A-Conrad): Challenger's (ex) wife. Depends on her bodysuit for any of her senses. Soon becomes able to use them at paranormal levels.
17* '''Blazer''' (Mitrian Fynn): A young woman [[BlessedWithSuck gifted]] with thermal (a.k.a. firey) powers. She couldn't control her powers without control disks in her costume, which were later grafted under her skin. It was revealed during the Comico era that she was Challenger's daughter from a relationship before he married Diviner.
18* '''Titan''' (Jemin Osk): He can [[TheBigGuy grow up to thirty feet]].
19* '''Talisman''' (true name unknown): A mutant with the power of karma: good things happen to him (as well as his teammates), bad things happen to his foes. A gambler and a con-man.
20* '''Demon''' (Gabel Nevin): Highly skilled and acrobatic martial artist. He has a big ego and was addicted to a drug he believed enhanced his abilities.
21
22Later, Maxinor's son, '''Youthquake''' becomes a member of the team. He has the power to control earth but is unable to speak.
23
24Joining their ranks is an earth woman named Krista Clay who has taken the codename '''Chain'''.
25
26A Justice Machine revival, Object Of Power, is currently available.

28----
29!! ''Justice Machine'' provides examples of:
30* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Titan, as stated above, can grow up to 30 feet and his strength increases as well.
31* BeardOfEvil: Zarren sports a goatee and is a rotten scumbag.
32* BornLucky: Talisman. As long as his heart is in the right place.
33* ChainsawGood: Chain uses a light chainsaw in order to focus her psionic powers.
34* DrugsAreBad: Demon's addiction to the drug called Edge is of note.
35* EyepatchOfPower: Zarren apparently [[NoodleIncident lost his eye]].
36* FieryRedhead: Blazer. Rather literal in her case.
37* MeaningfulName: Georwell = Creator/GeorgeOrwell .
38* PlayingWithFire: Blazer couldn't control her power if it weren't for the disks on her body.
39* SharpDressedMan: Talisman rocks the tuxedo like nobody's business.
40* SizeShifter: Titan has this as his power.
41* TheSpeechless: Youthquake, due to an accident.
42* SuperSenses: Diviner, thanks to her bodysuit, has above-average awareness of things.
43* WindsOfDestinyChange: Talisman's power, which works when being threatened with harm.
