Old Question, New Approach. People keeps saying how the Justice League are like Gods, The JLA I'm familiar with have 7 permanent members, 4 rotating, 1 guest and the oracle...which makes 13. I want to pair them up in such a way as to get a Definative line-up to parallel the Greek/Roman Gods...more specifically the 12 gods of olympus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympian_gods .. Some of them are obvious:
Zeus, Poseidon, Hera - Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman
Demeter - Agriculture and fertile earth, environment - Hawkman/girl i think
Artemis - Goddess of the hunt - Martian manHUNTer
Apollo - Among other things Archery - Green Arrow
Athena - Wisdom - Oracle
Hephaestus - God of fire and smithing, creates things for the league - GL I figure with the light/lantern and the creating things with the ring (maybe Steel)
Ares - War - Batman??..there's no god of detectives
Aphrodite - Love - I don't know maybe Black Canary or Zatanna
Hermes - Messenger/Guide - Flash
Hestis - God of Family/Home - This could be almost anyone with a family, Elongated Man, Atom..I don't know
What do you guys think? I mean having a League that mirrors the Greek Gods adds a certain amount of Timeless ness to this. I also thought Red Tornado or
Firestorm might go into this somewhere...there are more than 12 JL members in the whole of DC history. Anyone any ideas/comments? I was wondering if there were some other obvious ones I've missed..or if Batman should be artemis and J'onn be Ares.
