No one has posted in this forum for months, but this is still an important issue for me, so I thought I'd bring it back. Being that we are over half way through Young Justice Invasion right now, we have some updates about who has and has not joined the Justice League and the Team. Here are the designations as of right now:
Justice League:
1-16: The original league from season one.
17-21: Doctor Fate, Atom, Plastic Man, Icon, and Red Arrow
22-24 (not in any specific order): Green Lantern (Gardner), Blue Beetle (Kord), and Black Lightning
25-26: Zatanna and Rocket
I am sad to say that Vixen was not a member of the League during the five year jump. I dunno if she even exists in this world, but we still have 9 episodes left until the season finale, so hopefully she will make a cameo of some kind. It would be awesome to see her in similar role that Plastic Man, Guy Gardner, and Blue Devil played in the first season. I am also sad that I was right in thinking that Zatanna and Rocket are the only two women to have joined the League since Black Canary (13). That reality was kind of a let down.
The Team:
1-7: The original members of the Team from season one.
8-11: Zatanna, Rocket, Tempest, and Aquagirl
12-15: ??? ( one of these was Jason Todd)
16-23 (in order): Batgirl, Bumblebee, Lagoon Boy, Beast Boy, Robin (Tim Drake), Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, and Impulse
We still have two members that remain a mystery since the five year jump. Jason Todd is one of the three mystery designations because we saw that he was a fallen member of the Team during the episode Satisfaction, when a hologram-statue of him appeared in Mount Justice. We have two remaining members. I am partial to the idea that Cyborg is one of them. DC Nation promoted a "secret file" of Cyborg that resembled the same artistic style that we see in Young Justice. Some people thought it was the character design used in his appearance in Justice League: Doom, but there are subtle differences in his hair and armor. The profile seemed to be a different Cyborg, so I assume the character design is a new one we MIGHT see in Young Justice Invasion.
I have no idea or theories who the last member can be. I am partial (and more hopeful) to the idea that the last designation will go to a female superhero. I would totally be happy with someone like Starfire or Donna Troy. Just because we have Cassie Sandsmark as Wonder Girl does not mean she was the FIRST Wonder Girl. Starfire would also be fun to see in the show. It cannot be Flamebird because Greg Weisman said she never became a superhero. I don't think it is Arrowette, because Green Arrow alluded to the fact that Red Arrow (original and clone) and Artemis were his only sidekicks. One crazy theory I just considered is maybe they de-aged Vixen to join the Team, similar to what they did with Zatanna, but that is mostly just desperation on my part to see the character in the show. Other females we could consider are Hawk and Dove (for both designations), Solstice, Raven, Terra, and Bombshell.
Who do you all think the last two designations will go to? I would LOVE to hear some new theories. :]
