The Justice League was a reimagining of the Justice Society of America by Gardner Fox, a writer from DC Comics. The first issue the Justice League appeared in was in March 1960 DC Comics issue 28, The Brave and the Bold. The original superhero team members were Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. Other superheroes have joined and departed since. In November of 1960, the new team got their own comic book titled "Justice League of America."
The Green Lantern
The first Green Lantern was Alan Scott in the comic created by Martin Nodell in 1940. Then later in 1959, the character would be recreated as Hal Jordan and make famous the oath of the Green Lantern Corps, which is an intergalactic force for law and order. Today there are many Green Lanterns as part of this interstellar institution. Green Lanterns gain their powers by the special rings they wear which amplify imagination, courage and willpower to manifest their desires.
