10 Things Everyone Forgets About The Justice Society Of America
6. JSA: Ragnarok
After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, one-shot “The Last Days of the Justice Society” details the disappearance of the Justice Society from the newly merged single-universe Earth. The remaining members of the Society are assembled at Hall Manor to bury their teammates Huntress and Robin, who were killed during the Crisis. Just then, the mystical Spectre arrived screaming in pain. Doctor Fate showed the heroes that Hitler had used The Spear of Destiny to open a rift in space and time to Asgard at the end of the age of the Norse Gods. Connecting this to the power of the Spectre when he was debilitated by the Anti-Monitor, Hitler planned to wipe out the world.
Doctor Fate determined that the only way to break the connection from the Spear to the Ragnarok of the Norse Gods was for the Justice Society members to merge with them and fight the demons themselves. The Justice Society members each died and came back to life to fight Surtur and then begin the battle again, over and over, seemingly for eternity.
Fate removed younger heroes Power Girl and Star-Spangled Kid from Asgard and returned them to the present day. Freed from his connection to the Spear, the Spectre was recalled to the Silver City by the Presence, and Fate informed the children and proteges of the JSA who had created the team Infinity Inc. of the fates of their mentors. With his plan for world destruction defeated, Adolf Hitler poisoned himself and his mistress in an underground bunker.
