    Animal Man 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/animal_man_5.jpg

AKA: Bernhard "Buddy" Baker
Abilities: Channels the powers of various animals

During a freak accident, Buddy Baker was imbued with the power to channel the abilities of any animal on Earth. He became Animal Man, using his abilities to fight for the animal kingdom against human cruelty and exploitation, but still finds time to live a relatively normal home life with his wife and kids. Buddy was briefly a member of Justice League Europe and has remained a reserve member since then, serving as the League's resident expert on animal-related weirdness. Oh, and he knows he's in a comic book. See Animal Man for more.


    Blue Jay 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blue_jay.jpg

AKA: Jay Abrams
Abilities: Flight, able to shrink to six inches

The alternate Earth known as Angor was once protected by the Justifiers, a team of avenging superheroes who clashed with the Justice League a couple of times. Angor was ravaged and the Justifiers killed by the supervillains known as the Extremists—all save the size-shifting Blue Jay and his teammate Silver Sorceress. They fled to our Earth and joined Justice League Europe after helping them defeat robot duplicates of the Extremists and Jay even led the team for a while.


    Crimson Fox I / II 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crimson_fox.jpg

AKA: Vivian and Constance d'Aramis
Abilities: Super-speed and agility, pheromone control, enhanced senses

The superheroine called the Crimson Fox was actually two people—Vivian d'Aramis and her presumed-dead twin sister, Constance. The owners of a Parisian perfumery, the two of them alternated between superheroics and civilian life so they could each have some time living a normal life. They joined Justice League Europe, with their teammates none the wiser, and both fell in love with Metamorpho. Vivian was killed in action and Constance took over the Crimson Fox persona until the JLE was disbanded. A few years later, Constance tried to reform the JLE, but was murdered by the Mist.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: For Captain Atom. An interesting example, insofar as she's drop-dead gorgeous, but Cap finds her extremely overt and aggressive advances toward him to be a turnoff.
  • Action Girl: Both are very tough physical combatants and fairly girly.
  • Angsty Surviving Twin: Constance.
  • Charm Person: They can seduce men with pheromones (possibly derived from their perfume).
  • Collective Identity: They share both their public and superhero persona.
  • Color Character: ...though they don't actually wear crimson (nor does their costume look like a fox, come to think of it).
  • Demoted to Extra: By the end of their run they were largely background characters.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: In an Early-Bird Cameo she was called Red Fox.
  • Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Notably, Vivian had a much more pronounced French accent (which is how readers could tell them apart).
  • Foxy Vixen: Their defining motif; both Crimson Foxes are gorgeous Heroic Seductresses who share a fox Animal Motif and whose abilities revolve around using their looks and pheromones to sway men under their control.
  • Genre Savvy: Their Twin Switch was partially done because they realized a public figure vanishing to dress up in a costume so often would attract attention, and so they faked Constance's death so there'd always only be one woman in public while the Crimson Fox was out heroing.
  • Honest Corporate Executive: They run their perfume company ethically and first started it to be an honest competitor to the Corrupt Corporate Executive who killed their parents, in order to drive him out of business and expose him for who he was.
  • I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Vivian would use her sex appeal in addition to her pheromone control. Constance thought it was beneath them to do so.
  • Killed Off for Real: Both of them.
  • Oh Me Accents Slipping: An interesting variant, as Vivian had a thick French accent while Constance spoke perfect English, leaving the Leaguers very confused.
  • Power Perversion Potential: Her superpower is pheromone-based mind control or mind manipulation, at least.
  • There Is Another: Eventually a third character (or possibly one of the twins Back from the Dead) reappeared wearing the costume and claiming to be part of the D'Aramis family but this wasn't resolved before the next Crisis event and subsequent reboot.
  • Twin Switch: It was eventually revealed that Crimson Fox was actually two identical twin sisters, Vivian and Constance D'Aramis who both had the same superpowers.
  • Wolverine Claws: The costume has some pretty long claws.

    The Flash III 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wally_west_dc_comics.jpg

AKA: Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West
Abilities: Super-speed

Barry Allen's nephew, Wally West. He was originally Barry's sidekick, Kid Flash, but when Barry died in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wally took up his mantle as the third Flash. Wally was a member of Justice League Europe, and during this time had a very obnoxious, lecherous personality. However, his membership in the reconstituted Justice League of America forced him to grow up, and he soon became one of the world's greatest heroes. Wally was the first member of the Teen Titans to "graduate" to the Justice League. See The Flash for more.


  • Tough Act to Follow: A lot of jokes center on comparing Wally to Barry Allen (Flash II). Wally is less than thrilled to deal with it.

    Maya 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chandi_gupta_001.png

AKA: Chandi Gupta
Abilities: Fire and ice control, mystical longbow

  • Sacred Bow and Arrows: Is able to manifest a magical bow that can fire a series of mystical projectiles at an enemy. Her parents, unsure of what to do, left her in the care of a strange Indian cult that they themselves had become followers of. The leaders of this cult were convinced that she was the reincarnation of one of the Hindu gods, Shiva.
  • Spontaneous Weapon Creation: Able manifest a mystical bow. She has used it as a conventional bow, able to fire sometimes devastatingly powerful projectiles usually made of mystical fire or water.

    Metamorpho, The Element Man 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nolan_metamorpho.jpg

AKA: Rex Mason
Abilities: Transmutes his body into various elements

See Metamorpho for more.

    Power Girl 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/power_girl_in_yellow_000.png

AKA: Kara Zor-L / Karen Starr
Abilities: Super-strength, speed, senses, flight, and invulnerability, heat and x-ray visions

Power Girl (real name Kara Zor-L, also known as Karen Starr) is the cousin of Superman, but from the alternative universe of Earth-Two (first envisioned as the home of DC's wartime heroes as published in 1940s comic books). Power Girl becomes stranded on the main universe after the first "Crisis" and becomes acquainted with that world's Superman and her own counterpart, Supergirl. After the Justice Society of America (the major team where she was member) disbands, Power Girl join the Justice League Europe for a while. See Power Girl for more.


  • Brought Down to Badass: After needing life-saving surgery (aided by Superman to get around her invulnerability) Kara's powers were much weaker for a time.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Caused by diet soda, of all things.
  • Ms. Fanservice: While she traditionally is this trope, it was subverted during her time in the League. Not only was she usually drawn with a body-builder's physique, she spent most of her time wearing a yellow and white full-body suit. She also hated being treated like a sex object.

    Silver Sorceress

AKA: Laura Nielsen
Abilities: Sorcery
