Ted Kord was a student of archaeologist Dan Garrett and nephew of wealthy industrialist Jarvis Kord. Garrett uncovered a plot by Jarvis to unleash a horde of killer robots on the world and revealed to Ted that he was in fact the masked hero, the Blue Beetle. Dan destroyed Jarvis' androids but died in the battle, passing on the mantle of Blue Beetle to Ted. As the Blue Beetle, Ted was invited to join Justice League America by Max Lord, where he became best friends with Booster Gold and together they got into all kinds of wacky hijinks; both of them later joined Captain Atom's "Extreme Justice" team. Tragically, Ted was murdered by Max Lord when he uncovered the OMAC Project, but not before he relayed the information to the Justice League, helping them put an end to Lord's machinations.

Born in the 25th century, football star Michael Jon Carter was ruined in a gambling scandal. Seeking a new life, he stole some high-tech equipment and fled back in time to our era, where he set himself up as the first for-profit superhero, Booster Gold. Booster joined Justice League America shortly after its reconstruction under Max Lord and became best friends with the Blue Beetle (with whom he got in trouble many times with his get-rich schemes). Despite his glory-seeking nature, Booster still (usually) pulls through and does the right thing.

Japanese physicist Kimiyo Hoshi was granted power over light energy by the Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths and played a vital role in saving the universe. She showed up in the first issue of this version of the League, but did not stick around long. Afterwards, she became a member of Justice League Europe and, after moving to the United States, the Justice League of America. Kimiyo has a cold exterior, but is good at heart, especially where her children are concerned. She has clashed several times with her evil predecessor, Dr. Arthur Light.
- Absurdly Youthful Mother: She has two older kids. But you’d never know by looking at her.
- Break the Haughty: Gets a nasty one during her fight with the previous Doctor Light during Blackest Night as he dismantles everything about her life and superhero identity, giving her a potent Heroic BSoD.
- Byronic Hero: She's a hero at heart, but her frigid personality and her behavior makes her disliked in her personal and professional life.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Most of her character arc. At first she was a cold and dismissive scientist who hardly cared for anyone, even her own father. Even as a hero, she was cold, but even at her worst she had honor and a desire to protect the innocent.
- Flight: She can ride lightwaves in order to fly, capable of reaching the speed of light.
- Ice Queen: Her defining trait and Fatal Flaw. She's a massive deconstruction of the idea since being an ice queen has ruined her relationships with her country, her family, and her colleagues before and after she became a superhero.
- Insufferable Genius: She was a brilliant but overly-driven scientist and sardonically callous individual. She was so fascinated by the Infinite Crisis unnatural effect that she arrogantly insulted her male colleagues who were concerned for their safety for ordering an evacuation.
- Invisibility: By bending light waves around her.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be very nasty and dismissive when annoyed, which is often, but behind that frosty exterior lied a woman who just wanted to do the right thing.
- Light 'em Up: She can absorb all forms of illumination, and internalize it for a variety of uses.
- Light Is Good: In contrast to the original Dr. Light. Though she is not the easiest person to get along with (see Insufferable Genius and Jerk with a Heart of Gold) but she is dedicated to protecting people and being a hero. In the 2008 DC Holiday Special, she even states the reason she chose to keep the original Dr. Light's name and costume (despite the man being a villain and a rapist), was to prove light could be good again.
- Mama Bear: She can be very protective of her teammates, and she is downright scary when they are crossed. Even more so for her own children.
- Most Common Super Power: Especially in the 2000s.
- The Power of the Sun: She has used her powers to generate sunlight from a yellow sun to heal injured Kryptonians and Daxamites.
- Redeeming Replacement: She is opposed to the first Dr. Light, who was a man, a villain, and a rapist (by retcon).
- Remember the New Guy?: Unusually for a Legacy Character, Kimiyo Hoshi was introduced as being a contemporary of the villainous Doctor Light, not a second. While she did debut over 20 years after Arthur Light, she was retconned into being active in Japan while he was in the US.
- Shoo Out the New Guy: She was supposed to be a member of the team, being featured at the front page of the first issue and all. But she played a very minor role, did not even use the costume, and left at the beginning of the 4th issue. Then, she returned at the Grand Finale... only to play an even smaller role and leave again. (She got slightly more to do when she joined the JLE.)

- Blackmail: While they were working for Checkmate, Waller uncovered evidence that Bea's father was a wanted Brazillian war criminal which Waller used to force Bea to do her bidding, such as killing a witness who was willing to provide information that Waller helped rig the election in Santa Prisca in favor of Bane. When Taleb Beni Khalid uncovered this information, he gave Bea the choice between going to prison for the rest of her life or turning her father in. With a heavy heart, Bea chose the latter choice.

- Censor Steam: Strategically placed flames when she activates her powers.
- Color Motif: Green.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Has green hair and wears green hero outfits.
- Fiery Sensuality: Bea is a lovely Brazilian woman with the ability to combust into green flames. She tends to wear very revealing outfits and has worked as a model, showgirl and even an internet glamor girl.
- Flying Firepower: By bursting fire behind her she can take off into the sky and control her flight speed by adjusting her flames in response.
- Headbutting Heroes: Bea is most well-known for her documented rivalry with Guy Gardner, much to her abject despair when her best friend Ice began dating him. She also did not get along with Mary Marvel at first, though they later became friends.
- I Have Many Names: Began her superhero career as Green Flame, but changed her code name to Fire shortly after joining the JLI. As an agent of Checkmate she uses the code name Black King's Knight.
- I'm Going to Hell for This: Despite her life of killing, Fire admitted she is still a Catholic at heart and sadly believes she will be going to Hell for the death she's caused, in spite of her friend Ice's assertion that her being good at heart absolves her of her deeds.
- Most Common Super Power: Beatriz has a voluptuous figure with a big bust.
- Ms. Fanservice: She is mostly naked in the flame form. She is also one In-Universe when working as a fashion model.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: Her first costume had a neckline that plunged to her abdomen, and some of her other costumes can still have it, Depending on the Artist.

- Ship Tease: She has been paired with Oberon, Martian Manhunter, Booster Gold, and the second Rocket Red.
- Spicy Latina: She's Brazilian and is not just spicy, she's downright burning hot.
- Technicolor Fire: Green.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Bea is confident, sassy, and bold... but she still likes fashion and dressing sexy.
- Tyke Bomb: Fire was raised from an early age to be an assassin. Since then she's killed a fair number of people as an assassin for Brazil and for Checkmate, with her most egregious being burning a dozen people alive on behalf of the Checkmate spy agency
- Unlimited Wardrobe: She often changed her costumed based on the whims of fashion.
- Will They or Won't They??: With Oberon in Justice League International.

This roughnecked Green Lantern was one of the charter members of Max Lord's JLI. His crude and hot-tempered personality put him at odds with the rest of the team, though he somehow managed to win over the Shrinking Violet Ice and he acted polite in the presence of General Glory.

Tora Olafsdotter is the heir to a clan of Norwegian Roma, and her heritage gives her power over ice. She debuted as the superheroine, Icemaiden, taking the name from Sigrid Nansen, another ice-based heroine whom she replaced in the Global Guardians. She became close friends with Green Flame, and they later joined the Justice League International, changing their code-names to Ice and Fire. She began dating Guy Gardner, but the relationship was rocky due to his hot-headed nature, the fact that Fire hated him, and her sublimated attraction to Superman. Ice was killed by the Overmaster, but was resurrected under strange circumstances and resumed her relationship with Guy.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: And there's no "bad boy" worse than Guy Gardner. Though inverted as Ice is much more interested in Guy's secret nice side he rarely shows anyone.

- Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Shrinking Violet and The Heart Girly Girl to Fire's bolder, brasher Spicy Latina Tomboy (though Fire is still fairly girly).

This jovial Russian soldier was chosen to replace the traitorous Vladimir Mikoyan on Justice League International's roster. Dmitri was a fan of Western culture who nonetheless devoted himself to Russia's military. He became close friends with Animal Man, with whom he bonded when he learned they were both family men.

He built his own Rocket Red suit (a throwback to earlier models), and set himself against corporations and rogue KGB cells.
