4	A FightingGame for Platform/SegaGenesis and Platform/{{SNES}} that was released in 1995. The game was developed by Creator/{{Sunsoft}} and published by Creator/{{Acclaim}}. The SNES version was co-developed by Creator/BlizzardEntertainment and the Genesis version by Condor Inc. ([[CocaPepsiInc later known as Blizzard North]]).

6	The game features the Franchise/{{Justice League\|OfAmerica}}, a team of superheroes who are fighting against the evil invader from space, ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}. The story was about Darkseid declaring war to Earth and destroying a military base in the process. After that, the Justice League goes to know about Darkseid's plans and find EvilCounterpart of themselves, which they have to fight to know the truth, as well Darkseid's {{Mook}}s Cheetah and Despero.
7
8	The game was '''[[InNameOnly very loosely]]''' based on ''Justice League: Task Force'' comic books published by Creator/DCComics between 1993 and 1996. Although the game was considered as the JackOfAllStats of [[FightingGame fighting games]] for these consoles, ''Task Force'' was considered the first DC fighting game title ever.

10	See also ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'' and ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', the next Justice League fighting game titles after more than 10 years of ''Task Force''.

12	----
13	!!List of fighters in the game:
14	* ComicBook/{{Superman}}
15	* ComicBook/{{Batman}}
16	* ComicBook/WonderWoman
17	* ComicBook/TheFlash
18	* ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}
19	* ComicBook/GreenArrow

21	* Despero (SubBoss)
22	* ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} (BigBad[=/=]FinalBoss of the game)
23
24	----
25	!!This game provides examples of:
26
27	%%* NinetiesHair: Superman and Aquaman, as the fashion of that time.
28	* AdaptedOut: None of the Comicbook/{{Green Lantern}}s associated with the team appear in the game, nor does Comicbook/MartianManhunter.
29	* AdaptationalSuperPowerChange: Aquaman has the power to shoot hard water balls, a power he does not actually have in the comics (though he did in his self-titled ''WesternAnimation/{{Aquaman}}'' 1960s Filmation cartoon).
30	* AdaptationalWimp: Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/WonderWoman and other super-powered heroes go toe-to-toe with the likes of ComicBook/GreenArrow and Franchise/{{Batman}} with straight punches as if they are all equally strong.
31	%%* BigBad: Darkseid.
32	%%* BadGuyBar: Despero's stage.
33	* CoversAlwaysLie: Only shown a drawing of JL heroes from comics, with a cover with more action than the game itself.
34	* {{Doppelganger}}: The player chooses one JL member and then he[=/=]she has to fight against other JL members, just to discover they are EvilCounterpart of them.
35	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: it's considered the first fighting game based on Justice League, but it was more like a FranchiseKiller. The next fighting games featuring JL are ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'' and ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', both made more than 10 years after this game.
36	* EvilTwin: Every one of the JL members you fight against in the game is later revealed as clones made by Darkseid to stop you.
37	* FanRemake: Thanks to ''VideoGame/{{MUGEN}}'', all the characters were remade in a better quality than the source, first as separate characters (and edits) and later as a couple of fullgames, one of them makes {{crossover}} with ''Franchise/StreetFighter''.
38	%%* TheHero: Superman.
39	* HollywoodScience: The Flash can throw Mini-Tornadoes as his projectile attack which is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to do with just a simple swing of the arm. And to top it off, he can throw Mini-Tornadoes... [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]]!!
40	* JackOfAllStats: Not just as a game, every character plays almost the same with very few differences.
41	* MirrorMatch: Considering all the superheroes are EvilCounterpart of them, this happens in the game.
42	%%* {{Mook}}: Cheetah and Despero.
43	* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Like the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' games or the later ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'', the game has characters with varying power levels fighting one another on equal footing.
44	* ReformulatedGame: Although both versions have the same characters and stages, the game isn't the same for SNES and Genesis, in part because there were different co-creators with Sunsoft for each version.
45	%%* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Wonder Woman for heroes and Cheetah for villains.
46	* SpinningPaper: The first scene of the game is one announcing Darkseid has declared war on Earth.
47	* AWinnerIsYou:
48	** No matter which fighter you choose, [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/snes/a/jl.htm the endings are all the same]] and not even worth to mention in this page.
49	** And that's for Story Mode, in Battle Mode there's just "[[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/snes/a/jlb.htm Congratulations!]]" and that's all.
